Oliver turned 10 months old a few days ago. I can't believe his first year is in the home stretch! It has flown by so fast. Some of the personality traits that showed up in the very beginning are still going strong, and I wonder if they're just parts of his personality. I'm looking at his smile in this picture and thinking of what a happy smiling and laughing guy he has been since he had the ability to smile and laugh. He enjoys life in a way that I so appreciate and it's contagious.
I took a few photos on this day of Oliver alone and with his sister. I love his smiling face but I also love this sweet little face, too:
He has such an expressive face. He continues to look at Eloise with stars in his eyes and likes to reach out and touch her, grab her hair, and in this instance, grab her slippers. She gets annoyed but is still mostly kind. I love watching their sibling relationship, even when its annoyance.
My favorite is when they're laughing together though.
In other news this week, just yesterday Oliver did a little side stepping while holding onto the coffee table to sidle up closer to his sister. He traveled probably a foot in total and in a very wobbly fashion. But he did it! I video taped them right after but I guess he had sidled up as far as he wanted to go in order to see the book she was reading him. The password is Oliver2016.
Today Oliver finished his first session ever of swim lessons. He is, of course, adorable in the water. Today he was surprisingly relaxed doing a back float. He got a certificate of completion:
Big boy steps...
