Growing and Changing

Oliver is learning lots of new things these days! One of them is holding a sippy cup. He knows how to hold it up to his mouth, but cannot get the water out without help yet. He also loves grabbing for things- hair, toys, the camera, a burp cloth, and the list goes on. Though he's not done it yet, he's starting to roll over from his back to his belly. He mostly only does this because he's grabbing for things. 

Which reminds me that he loves it when we read to him. He looks at the pictures and listens to the words. One book has furry parts to the animals that he reaches out to touch. He is not able to find the furry part without help, but he knows when I pull out the book to reach out to touch it. He's a smart fella! 

Oliver is also growing like a weed. I've decided that he's going to have my long legs and shorter torso. Again, some pants are too short and they are the right size around his waist. The best is when I put on his pajamas and the legs of them are stretched to the max while the torso part is saggy. It's absolutely adorable. His hair is also definitely going to be a shade of red! It's especially cute when it's wet because it has a slight curl to it. He also has one tooth coming out of his gums on the bottom. It's hard to see, but easy to feel when you rub your finger in his mouth.

This week we also tried going for a walk in the stroller without the car seat. He loves how he can see things, but not when the wind blows in his face. I may not have mentioned it before, but Oliver has a few girlfriends. One is Macy at the babysitters. She is only 5 days younger than Oliver. The other is Reece, who is 4 months younger to the day. 

I can't believe our little guy will be 7 months old in just a few days!

He thinks his sippy cup is pretty neat!

Oliver loves grabbing for things.

Check out that red hair!
