The difference between 6 and 7 months is huge. On February 8th, Oliver had his first "crawl". He was in his room, while Chris and I sat on the chair watching him struggle. He was determined and had his eyes on the toy near my foot. It took about 5 minutes for him to army crawl and frog leap over to the toy that was about a foot away. We were so happy for him, and felt slightly bad for his frustration. Then each day that passed, he moved a little farther, a little faster. In the mornings we'd read together on the rug in his room. He'd crawl closer to grab the book, and I'd rotate just a little to the right and we move in sync like the arms of a clock...that went on for a few more days until one morning, Oliver crawled away towards his toy box. He proceeded to pull it out and try to pull himself up and look inside. I panicked for a moment and thought "I need to baby proof the house ASAP!"
Since then Oliver has been moving around the house, trying out new moves, going from crawling to sitting (super strong abs!), trying to pull himself up to standing. He aimed right for the power outlet, he moves to the front door and tries to reach the door knob. He has definitely discovered this new ability to move, and is on an adventure around the house.
It wasn't long before I found him sitting up in his crib, holding onto the side of the bed. It's a sad sight, but also very adorable. He also has no fear of heights. Chris tosses him in the air, swing him around, and Oliver just loves it and laughs the whole time.
Oliver has also been trying to talk. For days he would make the "bbbb" sound and blow out air. 3 days later, he finally got "baba!" out of his system. I've also heard "googoo" and lots of other sounds like feels like they're words making up a sentence.
His bottom tooth finally came out, and another on it's way with 2 more on top.
I think Oliver is a little multi-tasker, don't you think?
