20 weeks old: pushing up and the swifts

Oliver has started pushing himself up on his arms, and up on his knees, but not at the same time yet. Between that and rolling, he ends up scooting himself around his crib and on the floor, but not very far. I know he is rolling front to back because I'll see him on his tummy, look away, and when I look back he's on his back. But I have yet to see it happen! I caught an almost roll on video but he didn't actually achieve it that time. The password is Oliver2015.

 On Tuesday, we took a picnic dinner to Chapman Elementary to watch the swifts roost in the school's chimney for the night, which they do every Fall. It was the first time any of us had ever been and what a cool thing to watch! I think Oliver's biggest enjoyment came from watching his sister and all the other children that were sitting around us.

Friday we had a play date at our house with friends Terri and Erica and their girls Finley and Nora. As usual, Oliver was there watching the action. The girls were so sweet with him, especially Finley who gently stroked his head. *melt*

Oliver continues to be a happy guy full of smiles and giggles. Here he is going for a bouncing ride on my knee. The password is Oliver2015.
