On Sunday he started really practising walking, on his own with no encouragement from us. He'll be wandering around using the furniture for support, then just let go and take 3 or 4 steps. All day long, all over the house. It's really cute, he's really deliberate about it, making sure he has his balance after each step before he attempts the next one.

I have yet another cold, and Ollie didn't seem to be getting it, but then yesterday he had a fever. We keep waiting for some other symptoms to show up, but he still doesn't seem to have a cold, or feel sick in any other way. As soon as the Tylenol kicked in he was back to his normal self and hungry enough to eat a horse. Weird.

Still sleeping really well at night, has even extended his wake-up time form 5:45 to about 6:40, really nice for us. Most days he is determined to refuse one of his two naps, ususally the afternoon one, I guess we are going down to one nap a day a little earlier than most.

We had some Japanese food the other night, turns out Ollie loves yakisoba, can suck the noodles up like a pro. He also loves edamame, although the beans apparently go through completely undigested because he down't chew them, just swallows them whole. Gross.
