Breaking the Law with Nana

(that sounded more rough and tumble before "Nana" was added)

Saturday May 4th

When a mother leaves her child with her own mother when going to work, the last thing she expects when arriving home is that they will have broken the law together.  I was only gone 6 hours!  Actually, Nana initiated Oliver into a long-standing Hoffman tradition.  "Driving in the neighborhood" is something every Hoffman child can remember doing.  We'd pull over when entering our sub and my dad would let one of us climb into his lap and "steer" the car.  I love that Nana let Oliver take a turn.  Hopefully we won't be hunted down for violating any laws.  As you can see, he loved it:)

Oliver played legos and memory with Nana for an hour and a half!  That is the longest he has done any one thing (besides sleeping) since onset.  He is really trying to do more and skills are improving with each attempt.

The biggest daily struggle is still food.  It just seems like he can be satisfied.  At least most of it is somewhat healthy.

BIG DEAL moment:  When I got home from work, Oliver hadn't napped (over 2 hours past the normal time) so I put him to bed myself.  I was kind of thankful for a few moments to grab a nap and then update the blog....so I was the tiniest bit annoyed when Oliver started calling for me only a few minutes after I laid him down.  When I went into his room, he was STANDING!! at the crib rail (with a poopy diaper).  He really hadn't tried to stand at all prior to that instant.  It was so cool to see, just as cool...after changing his diaper, he went right back to sleep.
