Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3

Ollie has begun testing his new found strength. Rather we've been testing his new found stregnth. He sit him up much as possible. He does pretty well until he starts leaning a direction, then over he goes. We are with him so he doesn't fall. By X-mas he'll be a pro at it.

Crawling will sure to follow. It won't be far behind. We've been able to set him on all 4's in the crawling position and he's rocked back and forth for a few seconds before his strength gives out on him. Just last night he almost got the crawling position on his own. The cats will be in trouble once he starts crawling. Now they can run away from him. They'll have to hide. He'll be slow, but he'll get them for sure.

He also likes to 'walk'. You can hold him by his hands, stand him up and he'll attempt to get somewhere. He usually starts going backwards, but eventually makes 'steps' forward. He also enjoys jumping on his parents in this position. If his gastric is active, we usually end up with a bruised tummy and covered in milk.
