So much has happened in this past month. Oliver took his first swim lesson with his dad on June 7th. He did so great! (and Daddy did good too.) He went completely in the water and floated on his back, even crawled across a floating bridge. He seemed nervous and held on to Daddy very tight, but never cried. This week he'll be back again, I hope he is looking forward to it.
Oliver also took his first few steps on June 12th. They were tiny little steps, but he look so cute doing it. It's funny that he only does it when no one is watching. I think when he sees us, he knows we'll pick him up. So he goes back to crawling, which gets him around the house very fast.
We've started showing him a dvd for sign language. Each morning he watches the show while having some Special K corn flakes. He also needs his favorite drums nearby, so he can play the drum while the songs are playing on TV. And just over a week, he started to sign Milk, and lately he does the "all done" sign when he is full after a meal. He also signs dog, which comes in handy because he's been very friendly with the neighborhood dogs.
Our little boy not only loves to play the drums, he also loves to sing. When we go for our morning walks, sometimes he'll sing in his stroller while checking out the scenery. We also sing together in the bath, and pretty much any time he is in a good mood. Although he mostly says BaBaBa, he has discovered he can change his pitch. He can hit quite a few high notes.
It's amazing that he is truly a little person now with his own thoughts and ideas. He loves to point to things that he doesn't know the name for. Or he points to the places he wants to go. He can communicate so well. He also has started to share with food and put away his toys.
I can't wait to see what he does next! running? talking? oh my...
