Hallelujah

|

Last night Ollie slept eight hours. Straight. From 8-4. He might have slept longer, but Jen and I checked on him and I think woke him up; regardless, getting that much sleep all at once was so nice. I don't know if it was a fluke or if he's really learning to sleep longer...

Ollie again

|
Two days ago Ollie and I were sitting on the floor and I was feeding him peas from a jar. Suddenly he got really upset, reaching for the jar and crying. After a moment Jenny suggested I give him the jar, and after a few false starts he dipped the spoon in the mashed peas, pulled it out, and stuck it in his mouth.

Then he got so excited he hurled the jar and spoon away and started clapping for himself, which was pretty much the cutest thing ever. :) I gave him the peas and spoon back and he fed himself quite happily (if slowly) for about 15 minutes. He learns so fast right now, every day you can see him getting more coordinated and determined.

He's mastered sitting up, yesterday morning he had crawled away from his little pile of Cheerios, then turned and crawled back to them and sat up only to realize he'd sat up too far away, so he crawled closer and sat up again--still too far away. So then he just ate on his tummy, but the idea was there. :)
