Yeah, but you should see the other guy!

From the looks of this kid you'd think he was part of some underground street fighting ring.  Nope!  It's just week one with the one year olds at daycare!  No Fear!

Hey you like my scratch Ma?

Heeeeeey!

Here are a few other recent developments:

• When he wants something he points to the object and then back to himself. . .until he gets it.
• We were bowling and we asked him if he wanted a cracker and he nodded his head and said "gnah!"  Which we've formally interpreted to mean "Yes!"
• He's standing, walking, and just about scurrying.
• Lots of teething action, which is really fun. . .yeah.

Oliver has turned into a toddler overnight! About 2-3 weeks ago he really got the hang of walking and went from crawling with intermittent walking to walking all the time. He started standing up on his own this week.  He babbles constantly and he is starting to understand directions, such as "come sit in your chair to eat". He is getting better at feeding himself. He prefers to dump his food out of his bowl and eat it off the floor or off his tray.  On Monday he will start in the "Ones" class at daycare. AND his top two teeth finally broke through!
