So...quite a few momentous steps have been taken since my last posting.
Namely: Oliver took his first official STEPS!!! He took them last Sunday (July 6th)...and he has been toying with the idea of walking more boldly every day.
We were filled with equal parts of excitement and dread with these steps. Walking introduces a whole new world of Independence and exploration.....yep....exploration.
Ugh.
Here is our little man playing with the sprinkler in the yard.
He loves being outside. 
One of the other "big occasions" around here is that we went ahead and put Oliver in his new front facing car seat. Technically, we were exactly one month early on this step....but we (cumulatively) could not take it another day longer. Not only did Oliver hate the rear facing seat, but he was WAY too big for it. So, we figured, 11 months was close enough.

I guess I thought that the heavens would open and angels would descend singing praises on his behalf as we strapped him into his new FRONT FACING seat. However, this is all we got:
Utter apathy.
One thing I am wondering, if any of you parents out there have the solution for: What do you do about the bobble-head effect when your baby falls asleep in the aforementioned straight up and down car seat?
Any tips?

Good luck with the bobble head thing, Lars is 3 and we are still having problems. It does look like your car seat has a recline position. I believe you can use that as long as your actual car seat will recline as well. You may want to check the manual though. You can also try different pillows they sell at baby stores for help with that problem but I have yet to find one that actually works. Good luck I can't believe he is already so big. He is adorable!
WOW! Walking!! Crazy!! it was so fun to see you guys at Seven Peaks. That boy of yours is fearless and a flirt already! What a cutie!
