through the night...

Oliver has been sleeping very well all night lately. The last few nights he slept in his bed! The first night he woke up around 4:30 and came back to bed with me, but then the next night he slept from 10:30 all the way to 6:45!! He didn't do as well last night, but he's really getting good at entertaining himself and not being so reliant on us every moment of every day. Hooray Oliver!!!

In other Oliver news, he has two bottom teeth now. Both are VERY sharp! He bit my finger and left a mark. Anyway, they are both easy to see now and are sticking up a little bit out of his gums. They are so cute!

He gets really grouchy around naptime, but he still hates going to sleep. I have found a secret weapon though. He loves "the itsy bitsy spider". Anytime he hears it he stops crying and starts smiling. I think I sung it about 50 times yesterday.

Last night for Oliver's bath I decided it was time for a new bath toy. I got out some little duckies that had been decorations at my baby shower (the one here) and he was playing with it. Once he was all clean I took it back and filled it full of water and squirted it onto his belly. He didn't seem very amused until all the water was gone and I squeezed it a few more times to get the last drops out. When the air and droplets hit him he just laughed and laughed and laughed...so of course I kept doing it. He thought it was the funniest thing ever. We did it for a loooong time before we finally got him out of the bath. It's so wonderful to hear him laugh!
