We are in what I consider the twilight baby days -- Oliver is so close to his first birthday! So much of his baby-ness is transforming into little boy habits. He has always had his own personality, but now it really shines through. He has a presence and an awareness about him. He can do so much, and he seems to have purpose. He's still squishy, but he's not a little baby.
I've been weaning him this week, too. We're working on drinking from a sippy cup, with a bottle sometimes. Breastfeeding was such a great experience -- I'm so glad it worked out. But this is just one more sign that he is growing up.
With Mac, I've felt that every age has been better than the last (although three has been rough). I have to keep that in mind -- as they grow, they only get better.
But even as he grows up, Oli will always be my little baby.
