8 months...

Weight...no idea, length...would be guessing...but growing...check, healthy....check and happy...check! And after months of anticipation....bottom 2 teeth are in!

And like so many other second children, he passes on the 'baby' toys in favour of Jake's much more interesting assortment of cars & trains to pick up and chew on. He sits fine on his own now, and loves emptying one of Jake's boxes one car at a time, examining each of them by flexing and straightening his wrists over and over, talking to them, and tasting some, then dropping each on the floor, and moves on to the next one. Much to my delight, he can keep himself entertained for 20minutes at a time...

Bath time might be a close second as far as favourite activities go, and he has learned the joy of splashing recently, so we all end up a little bit cleaner by the end;-)

And another update which means more to me than anyone, is that he is finally getting the hang of sleeping through the night...or only waking once, which means the rest of us can catch up on our beauty sleep too!

Happy 8 months Oliver!!
