Oliver has been diagnosed as possibly being on the autism scale (which seems to be a very popular diagnosis lately for kids). So I thought I'd upload a few videos to show his progress.

Here he is 2 years, 9 months old. We're playing with a slinky (which he uses like a freakin' mourning star). He's always loved to inspect his toys -- and in this video it's no different. He's always been fascinated with "dangley things."

Personally, I think he's doing well. Technically, I (his dad) am on the autism scale, so it isn't nearly as sensitive to me as it is to others -- but I am happy that we have a loving mom and dad, health insurance and good doctors at the ready. All help from professionals is always appreciated -- and I know I can learn a lot as a parent. ^__^

His first appointment with occupational and speech therapists is in a few weeks. Basically, they're looking to see if he's making "normal" progress in his emotional / social development. I'll post more as we progress. (less info)
