Has it been a month since my last post?

Where does the time go?  Every day I have a great idea on what to post and what to write.  But then something happens and forget.

In a week from today I will be in Germany.  I have very mixed feelings about my trip.  I want to go and I want to see my family and friends (I will meet my new niece Marie) but I don't want to fly with Oliver and I don't want to go through a 6 hrs time change with Oliver.  Usually when I go to Germany I quiet never adapt to the time change.  Why?  no need.  I am on vacation LOL  Stay up till 3 or 4 am and then wake up around 10 or 11 am.  Get ready and hang out with family and friends, eat yummy food and go out in the evening.  WELL this trip will be very much different than any other trip I've done back home...

Tomorrow my little guy will be 9 months old.  He will be as old as an entire pregnancy.  How crazy is that? Today for the first time he understood the concept of putting one foot in front of the other foot.  Now don't misunderstand me, he is not walking or anything like it.  But for the first time he came down from his tippy toes and actually "walked" - he was soooo happy and giggling while "walking" from the living room to the computer room to show Daddy how Mama and Oliver could walk.

He enjoys making bubbles with his mouth and sticking his cute tongue out to make even more bubbles and bubble noises.

His lower central incisor came in about two weeks apart so once I saw his right upper central  incisor started making an appearance on April 22nd I thought I had a good two weeks before the other one would start to bother him.  BOY was I wrong.  He was a little terror for about a week and then I found  the left one AND yesterday during a tickling session (the only way I can now peek into his mouth) I saw the start of his right upper lateral incisor....  My boy is growing up too fast and I am wondering how much longer can I nurse him???? ALL.THESE.TEETH!!!!

April 29th wasn't only the day of the royal wedding, it was also the day Oliver waved bye-bye for the first time.  Not sure if I should be proud that he did it towards the royal couple on TV, but I believe three hours of people waving was a good teaching method.  He doesn't do it all the time, but it's a start :)

His crawling is mainly still backwards but he reaches his destination.  He also started flipping himself onto his belly while sleeping at night...
