Ollie has gone from not seeing the cat to being interested in the cat to being totally enamoured of the cat. The feeling is not mutual however; definitely unrequited love. Starbuck will tolerate his presence if he is totally quiet and makes no sudden movements - you can guess how many times that happens. She still likes to sleep in his room though, right by his bed.

Had the 6 month set of shots yesterday, he survived that with a minimum of fuss, only cried for the second and third ones. He is 27.5 inches long now! Still can't break 18 lbs though.

We are getting an A in motor skills this week. He sits up much staighter and unaided for long moments, only a little bit tipsy. He is the king of push-ups, and is also starting to push his bum in the air, and today he managed to sort of combine the both and scoot backwards all over the floor.
