A 6-week milestone

The baby books tell us around this time, Oliver should be able to hold on to objects for several seconds– it's starting to become more intentional than just a reflex. We tested it out with a toy he could easily hang on to, and it worked! When I placed it in his right hand, he held on. But when John put it in his left (determined to make him a lefty), he hung on to it even longer and swung it around a bit. Look!

Side note: this is the second time Oliver has worn this OSU onesie from Yia yia Irene, and the second time he promptly pooped right through it! We didn't know it at the time but as we shot this video, he pooped right up his back. The first time this happened, I joked it must mean he wants to be a Duck. Now I'm convinced, and John is, too! Well, maybe we'll have to put him in his Gonzaga t-shirt and see what happens... :)
