8 Month Update

Oliver is now 8 months old and he is just getting more and more fun. I wanted to do a quick post with some of the things he is up to lately.

  • He started crawling this last weekend, which is so much fun to see
  • He loves making what Matt and I call "monster noises". It is a throaty growl and he has been doing it all the time.
  • He still kicks his feet like crazy. When he is laying on his back he will kick his feet against the floor - which seems like it would hurt, but doesn't seem to bother him - we have been trying to keep him on padded surfaces as a result.
  • He also likes to kick his feet when someone picks him up under his arms, which looks pretty hilarious - kind of like a cartoon character running through the air
  • He is very giggly, he thinks peek-a-boo is hilarious and loves when Mom and Dad dance.
  • His favorite toy is his stacking cups from Ikea
  • He has started eating Cheerios, which he seems to really like
  • He likes when we sing and loves the "Cuckoo Clock" song at ECFE
  • He has learned to take off his own diaper, which is a bit dangerous. We have to get him dressed fast before his quick little hands can pull up the tabs. A couple of times I have left him on his playmat in just his diaper and came back seconds later to find a naked Oliver.
  • He still loves his pacifier
  • He is very smiley!

We sure are lucky to have such a great little guy!
