New Tricks.

Ollie now has two front top teeth, in addition to the ones on the bottom. Actually, the top teeth are just teeny slivers of teeth so far. One broke through on Tuesday (his 10 month birthday), and the other yesterday (Wednesday). Teeth!

He loves being hand-fed. Hates the spoon, but will take anything that I manually put in his mouth with my fingers. He will pick up pieces of food, play with them, drop them, feed them to me (and as of this morning, to Lucca too) (yes, it was totally adorable), but he will not put the pieces of food in his own mouth. He has no interest in it. Usually he just holds it up for me to take from him, and waits with his mouth expectantly open for me to place in his mouth.

Did I mention that HE FED LUCCA? The cuteness of those two boys knows no bounds.

Even though he hates avocado, he loves garbanzo beans. Garbanzo beans are slightly redeeming. Lets see if they make him as gassy as they make his mama.

The pointing is now less of a circle and more of a Papal Blessing hand motion, as described by my dad today. Pope Oliver the First sort of gestures a little with a partially pointed hand. Bless you my child. Actually, it's more like: Bless you my light. Bless you my bird. Bless you my baby monitor green light. Bless you my ceiling fan. Bless you my light again.

He signed "more" very clearly tonight at Greg and Shawna's, and I almost didn't even notice. I was looking right at his hands, and just assumed he was trying to get two pieces of food situated in each hand. Sure enough, he wanted *different* food in his mouth.

We've been keeping "green hour" every day this week, starting on Sunday. Maybe we'll do it for his entire life. I don't know. It was raining today, so it was more like "green 5 minutes," but we more than made up for it earlier in the week.

He loves the waves:
