Oden Adventures

Oliver's thirteenth month of life included a move six hours north of the only home he's known.  He was a trooper during all the packing and the very stressful week of moving but had a pretty rough first week in the new house.  For several days, he was very sad and clingy and very anxious whenever Mama left the room and reverted to nursing (which we'd been working on eliminating) like a newborn.  

By the end of the month, he seemed pretty happy with the new place, especially when he can stand at the screen door and open & close it, and when we go over to the park and go out for walks.  This month he also did his first signs, or at least appeared to be copying Mama sign "more" and "all done".

His first monthly photo shoot at our new house!
