It's been a few weeks since we updated this blog. Mainly we've been in a busy transition. Between the time Jenny returned to work and the time I'm taking off from work, we've had Jenny's mom staying with us and showering Oliver with tons of attention. Today is the first day of my 5 weeks leave, and with Kim here for a few more days, I'm going to take advantage and get a few things done (like update our blog!).
Oliver is growing quickly, both in size and development. We haven't had him on a scale since December, but I'm guessing that he has doubled his birth weight or more. He now spends a lot of time babbling, and a couple times a day we can get a really great giggle out of him by blowing raspberries on his neck or stomach. Sometimes he just laughs when we laugh (see photo above). For a couple weeks there, he was obsessed with blowing spit bubbles (see photo below), but I guess he got tired of that.
He is readily grabbing at toys we dangle in front of him. That started at the beginning of this month when he used a two-handed claw approach to just pinch together whatever was in front of him. Now he's articulating his fingers and grasping. Still leading with his left hand, too. Another thing: when he gets excited he kicks his legs a lot. So when he's propped in his bouncy chair, it looks a lot like he's dancing.
More updates to come!
