It's hitting home in multiple ways, really - putting him in the cradle room during church services, rather than keeping him in the sanctuary with us, for instance.
On the other hand, given Oliver's fondness for lying just out of reach, I think forward motion is not long in the future. Of course, I've been saying that about his teeth for weeks, if not months, and there are still two white bumps on the bottom and one on top. Same as there have been for three weeks. Poor kid.
He loved the swings earlier in the day. By the time we got back later with the camera, he was a little tired. Usually, he spends the day smiling, chatting, and laughing spontaneously. He's become so much more responsive - to us, to other children, to his grandparents on Skype. He even said "Arrr!" to Granna, recovering from surgery and sporting an eye patch.
And he's becoming mobile. At the moment, his favorite direction appears to be backwards - he can get across the room in about 30 seconds.

Such a big boy! Now that he's mastered reverse, surely all four forward gears are about to happen!
ReplyDeleteFour on the floor!
ReplyDeleteUp on four already! He definitely couldn't do that two weeks ago!
