7 months

Oliver turned 7 months old on Friday, April 20th. In the last month he has grown a lot! He's a pro at rolling, is getting better at sitting, and is starting to scoot himself backwards a little. Clearly childproofing the house is in our near future. 
He's been talking a lot lately too. "g", "p" and "b" sounds have been added to his babbling repertoire. Still no "m" sound which he's going to need to say "mom", but we're working on it.

We've been enjoying the spring weather and trying to get outside as much as we can. Oliver loves to sit outside and go on walks in our neighborhood.
He's still generally very happy and smiles and laughs a lot. Just yesterday we went to the library and he was smiling at everyone. He was particularly smitten with one guy who was checking out books and as we left the man smiled back at Oliver and said, "What a great smile. You just made my day." Baby smiles are magic.
And lastly, some recent phone pics.

  4. Oli sure shows his love so easily. His face is delightfully expressive. Does he love peonies too? Lilacs, peonies and lily of the valley are some of my favorite flowers.
