The beginning of Oliver's crawling!

And heeeeee's off!

Yup, Oliver is officially crawling. He has been working up to it for about 2 months or so but didn't really get to moving forward in a crawl position until last week. In September I took a photo of him getting in the crawl position but he would go about half a crawl (step ?/!) and then flop on his tummy and scoot forward to get whatever toy he was reaching for. He has loved standing on his own for a while, and the last few days he has pulled himself up from a crawl to a standing position while holding on to the couch etc a few times. Maybe he will be one of those babies that walks not to much time after he crawls, time will tell. As for Mom and Dad, gone are the days were we could leave him somewhere and expect him to still be there 5 minutes later. sigh... :)
Here is a few photos of when he first started crawling. I will try to get a video of his now expert crawling skills.
