oups double post!

Finally - have found some time while Oliver is asleep to post... He's only been having little sleeps this week so not much time to do anything.

Dansta: That is so exciting!!! And I was very excited to see your new ticker!!! You're going to have all of us along for the ride .

Moose: Sounds like Sammy is certainly keeping you busy! She sounds like such a bright little girl .
You are definitely right about the crawling... Oliver hasn't even been crawling for a week yet, and he already seems to have perfected it and is getting faster and faster every day. I've become the big, mean mummy in the past week - I put Oliver down, he crawls to something, and I have to move him away... this weekend DH and I are baby-proofing!!!
You think swimming lessons are definitely worth it? I've heard different things from everyone - some say don't waste your money, others say go for it... I can't decide. Although, if I got DH to do them with Oliver, that would be nice for them both .

AFM: Well, as I started saying to Moose - Oliver is keeping me busy. He's crawling and rolling around so much - nappy-changing has becoming - interesting... turn around for one second and he's rolled and is crawling off in the nude!
Oliver being able to move on his own has opened up new things though... like the other day he was upset and crawled to me while he was crying for a hug! And if I'm getting ready to feed him he'll crawl over to me and (try) and crawl up on the couch! It's so much fun!

We had playgroup on Wedneday this week, and it was Messy Day - lots of paint, slime, jelly... Oliver put his hands in a big tub of jelly and then decided to eat some!

This morning I took Oliver to the pool again, and it didn't go so well this time. I'm not sure what was wrong, but he was really grizzly, and every time the big bucket on the play equipment thing filled with water and emptied (which makes a lot of noise) he'd cry even harder. He did get better after a while though... talking to the other mums, decided it may possibly be his teeth from the way he was munching on his hand and pulling at his ear. Who knows though.

Anyway, better go - Oliver has woken up... only another small sleep.

Hope everyone is well .
