Things are trucking along here in Blue Hill. Oliver has two teeth now, and is loving eating all sorts of things. Yesterday he had a tiny piece of cake (an early birthday celebration for Peter). To counteract that he had his first banana:
The dog really likes this new arrangement:
He really does enjoy food. He's getting the purees, but also some chunkier homemade baby food (veggies mostly), some small bits of fruit, these sugar-free cookies (just flour and apples/ginger) and some baby cheesie poof type things. The cookies are the biggest hit- he can really grab onto them and he's chewing and swallowing well (most of the time... but they dissolve just in case).

He also likes chewing on paper...

He's been having a lot of fun with Peter:
 |
| Dapper Dude. |
 |
| Sports Ball on the TV! |
 |
| Hop on Pop! |
 |
| Roar! |
That is, when he's not totally tired:
 |
| Mornings are rough. |
 |
| Ready to get out of the jumper. |
He's a very charming fellow:
 |
| Hey. |
 |
| Oh hai! |
 |
| Heeeeyyyy giirrrllll. |
 |
| Gah! |
And helpful, too:
 |
| Laundry "helper" |
He's starting to use more consonant sounds- guh, dah, bah... We're working our way up to "Scruffy Nerf-herder"

We're really looking forward to the upcoming Holidays- I just know he is going to love mashed potatoes as much as his Father does. Lots more fun photos to come, I'm sure... Oh- and probably a video of him crawling soon. He still hasn't quite figured it out, but he's trying!
