We bought this little vest long before Oliver was born. When we bought this our baby was just a bump and not knowing whether Hayley was having a boy or a girl we only had vague imaginings of the day it would be worn. Although plenty of people have cringed at us dressing him in this, it's still so nice to see him in it, a very real little boy with his own personality.
That's something I never appreciated before having Oliver: the fact that a child of only a few months old can really have a personality. He definitely likes to have his own way about certain things - holding his own spoon, holding his bottle, sitting how HE likes to sit - and he finds the oddest things funny.
At the moment he loves me to carry him up to his room where he can look at the "fish" mobile my Dad got him. This is fish shapes (complete with faces, of sorts)
made from foam. He also has a set of large windchines in his room and he likes to ring the bells. He is also just a perfect size to carry around sitting upright on my right arm to play all these games. All too soon he will no doubt start to get too big to be carried around for long periods like that. So I'm treasuring the chance now.
