Sitting Skills

Over the past few days, Oliver has improved so much on sitting from a stand. He's also started to get pretty good at switching from object to object while standing (i.e., moving from one chair to another).

Pull to Stand

Last night, after Oliver woke, Andrew and I had a difficult time waking up to go get him. It took us about ten minutes to gather up the energy, and, by that time, Oliver had pulled himself to a stand in his crib.

Oliver is Stronger

Yesterday, Oliver climbed all the way onto something for the first time... his mattress! I motivated him with the camera, and he did it twice.

This morning, Oliver tried hard to pull himself into a stand using the laundry basket (I held it so it wouldn't slip). He pulled himself onto his knees!
