Growing and growing. Ollie now weighs 19.9 lbs and has grown an inch up to 29 inches long. His head also grew a centimeter, Probably because we always tell him how cute he is. He is crawling all over the house and pulling up to standing. He can let go and stand for a few seconds unsupported. So we are thinking he will be walking soon! He has two more teeth coming out.
The doctor gave us the ok to start giving him finger foods. So I chopped up some chicken and avocado and waited to see his response. We've got a great video of it, he was curious and seemed interested in the texture of it. It took a few days before he started to get the hang of having solid food in his mouth. Some of his other favorites are salmon with spinach and rice, and scrambled eggs or cottage cheese for breakfast.
On March 14th, we took a trip to San Diego to visit grandma. We took Oliver to the zoo. This is our first trip with him as a crawler. We found a hotel that has a kid's room attached so Oliver can go to sleep early in his own room. It was nice to have the room divided, but we still had to be creative and hang sheets to block out the light coming from our side of the room. Mommy figured out a way to use the sink as a food station, even used the bottle warmer as a sterilizer for the washed bottles. Oliver had a great time checking out all the animals at the zoo, but I think the real fun for him was crawling around in his room like a new playground.
A new game I came up with this month was blanket surfing. After 8 months being in the same living room, it was time to invent some new ways to play. Oliver loves to be on the move, so being pulled around a blanket was great fun for him. We also lined up the dinning room chairs to make a tunnel to crawl through. He didn't know mommy can be so silly sometimes.
