Ta-Da

Ollie is the best interactive toy baby ever! He now enjoys testing out the sound of breathing through his nose loudly. In and out, in and out...all in a huff. He scoots backwards, can manipulate objects. Play peek-a-boo...by himself, which is a great distraction for him when he's not happy. Just toss him a towel and he hides. Oh no, he's all gone!

This morning he was up early so, he got to play a bit and started lunging for things in front of him. He also dismantled the toys on the bottom shelf. I'm sure it's just the beginning of destruction. He's a lot more fun than in the first few months, more independent, more evocative and more demanding.

"No" is starting to be used more in our house. Too bad he doesn't understand it yet. You tell him 'No', move him away from the offending object and he's back there in 2 seconds. You can't help but laugh at your own frustration. He's certainly laughing at us while he's getting in trouble.
