Matt usually gets up to feed Oliver his first bottle of the day (at about 5:30 am) because Matt is much more of a morning person than I am, but this morning Matt was in bed sick, so I was up early feeding Oliver. As I said, I am not much of a morning person, but I had such a great morning with Oliver today, I may just need to do some more of the early morning feedings.
I brought Oliver back to bed with me for his feeding and then he fell asleep on my chest. I was realizing how special that is to have such a sweet little guy sleeping on your chest and I just laid there taking in how precious he is. He woke up again a 6:30 with a smile on his face and we stayed snuggled up in bed together until 7:00. He was being so sweet. He has started to give "eskimo kisses" (is that still a PC term?) and was giving me bunches of them and babbling away. I am one lucky mama!

Pulling Up and Waving Bye-Bye
Oliver is almost nine months old and this week he has a couple of new tricks. Tonight he finally was able to successfully pull himself up to standing in his crib. He was pretty proud of himself. He also is starting to wave, which is adorable. I will try to get that on video to post later - but here are a couple of photos of Oliver standing in his crib.

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!

New Foods!
Now that Oliver has hit the 6 month mark, he is exploring a whole new world of food possibilities. So far he is eating rice cereal, pears, sweet potatoes, peas and prunes (the prunes are because he may have had a bit too much rice cereal - oops...) Here are some photos of his recent meals. As you can see, much of it is still ending up on him instead of in him.
