Taking Steps

Oliver has been taking about 1-2 steps regularly for the last few days.
My dad watches him most weekdays while I'm interning, and has noticed yesterday and today that he's increased the number of steps to 3. He's not pulling that number consistently but its a start.
Just last week he would stand there and be too scared to take a step, he's just lean forward until he fell.
It's funny what a week does!

That dump truck has done wonders for his walking!


By the way - Oliver figured out how to maneuver his truck from being stuck. When he pushes it into something or into a corner and he can't go forward, he's learned to step over to the steering wheel [from the back end] push the truck backwards, then turn it around.. Then he grabs on to the back and pushes it in the other direction.

He's honing his problem solving skills!
