Crawling

Oliver is 7 months old today, and he decided to show it by crawling! This whole past week he has been successful at crawling maybe one or two steps (crawls?) at a time, but today, he has managed many and is moving around even more. Before this week, he was moving around by pushing himself backwards (we have laminate floor, so it is slippery!). The only problem with that method is that he tended to get stuck (against the wall, the furniture, the plants...). I think he is going to get into lots of trouble once he really gets going on the crawling! He's already managed to pull down my fig tree (which is in a big pot, and the plant itself is fairly big) -- luckily he didn't pull it down on himself! He seems to have some sort of facination for that plant :)

This week he also got his first tooth (front bottom), and the second bottom tooth is already coming out. It was a pretty rough couple of days for him (and me!). He's much happier today.
