Our little guy is growing up right before our eyes. It's like we want to pick him up, look him in the eyes and say "Slow down, dude. you're still a baby!". Just over the past few days, it appears we have a whole new Oliver on our hands. He no longer possesses just the one parlour trick, clapping. He has a whole arsenal now.
The timid, methodical crawling that he started doing before Xmas has been replaced by "I want to go there, I'm going there now, and fast!". He also pulls himself up any table, chair, ottoman, bed in sight, including the stairs today, which he then followed by trying to go up to the next stair. Where did we put that baby gate again?
And he isn't just a gross motor skill guy either. Ask him to give you a kiss and he will head straight for your face, mouth wide open. It might be a little slobbery but given the source is such a cutiepie, it couldn't make you any happier to receive one.
Last but not least, bid Oliver a hearty hello and a big wave and he will respond in kind (the wave I mean). He is so thrilled to hear you get excited about something he has done. His infectious smile spreads from ear to ear. Needless to say, the holiday joy and happiness we all experienced has flowed into 2010.
Must be seen to be believed. Oliver on the attack!
