Oliver 7/8 Month Update

Our sweet Oliver turned 8 months old on Tuesday! He is growing up so quickly that I hardly feel he even qualifies as my little baby anymore. The 7 to 8 month transition has been a little overwhelming for us; Oliver has just bulldozed through milestone after milestone, and Brian and I just look at each other with each new trick and wonder how we are going to keep up with this little man?!? He is all boy: curious, messy, mischievous,  such a FLIRT, and fascinated with all things that roll (balls, cars, trucks, bottles) and all things electronic (just like his Daddy.)
