Oliver has been working on talking, signing (we're teaching him sign language), and walking a lot in the last month. He's making some really good progress on all accounts.
He seems to be really interested in books now and will intently look at the pages (and touch them or open flaps) while we read. He seems to like books with flaps, photographs of babies, and interesting textures.
We have been working on helping him sleep better (lately he has been wanting to sit up in his crib and refuses to lay down). Our work has been somewhat effective and he's now getting a good 4-6 hour stretch of sleep. It's been a long time coming! A full night's sleep is finally starting to seem like a possibility.
Oliver continues to be a happy baby, smiling and laughing much of the day.
And lastly, a look back at his monthly pics. Unfortunately we didn't start until month 4 and then we missed month 10 while in Europe, but it's still pretty incredible to see how he has changed. He looks huge now, doesn't he?
It will be fun to see how he looks posing on that cushion for his 30th birthday. ;) Kidding. It really is amazing to see how much Oliver has grown in the past year! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteGood idea Katie. The teen years on the cushion would be awesome too, although we may need a bigger cushion if he takes after Chris.
