Laughing, tummy time and first cold

Oliver laughed out loud for the first time last week! We were at baby yoga and I was bench-pressing him. It was so cute. He hasn't yet had another good belly laugh like that one, but he does giggle once in a while. He's also getting a lot stronger during tummy time, as illustrated here...

He is stuffed up with his first cold right now :( But he's getting better. I've been steaming him in the bathroom every night before bed. Hey, I can't complain, I've had 4 facials this week!

Drooling and Standing

Our little guy smiles so much! It's great to see him so happy. His latest trick ... drooling! The front of his shirt is pretty much perpetually drenched in drool. He also loves sticking his arm or hand in his mouth, and will just as happily take a knuckle from mom or dad. Although he still loathes pacifiers. I've been trying to tell him that he'll like a sucky just as much or perhaps better than my knuckle, but he's not buying it. 

He's getting so strong. Since he discovered that he can stand up with our help, that's all he wants to do. Standing on my hand looking over my shoulder or facing me on my lap. Standing up is sooooo fun. 

Here he is showing off his new sweater from Grandma Amy. He turned 3 months this week!
