6 Months Old!

I can't believe my baby is already 6 months old! Actually closer to 6 1/2 months old but I have been slacking on the blog lately, but it is my goal to get better and do at least weekly updates...we'll see if it actually happens, but it's good to have some goals! Anyway, back to Oliver. Oliver weighs 16 lbs. 6 oz and is 25 3/4 inches long and is in the 20th percentile for both weight and height. Oliver can sit up for as long as he wants and this is certainly his preferred position as he is quite flexible and can reach just about anything near him. He is not a fan of his belly but when encouraged he will start to wiggle to reach toys and/or food, ok mostly food! Aside from bothering his brother (pulling Henry's hair and clothes is very entertaining), Oliver LOVES cheerios! He can feed himself which makes this a great activity when I need him occupied for an extended period of time. Oliver is not the world's best sleeper but he does sleep through the night and take a couple of decent naps during the day, I am hoping to get him on more of a regular schedule now that he is getting older. Oliver has become quite a Mommy's boy and I love it! Although he yells for "Dada" all day and loves to play with Daddy, he will always take time to cuddle with his mom. Henry continues to love Oliver and can provide him with hours of entertainment. All of these pictures happen to be in the high chair, I just couldn't pick only a couple, so I chose a few. Enjoy!



Oliver loves to suck his two fingers on his right hand, it makes for some messy meal times!











This is my favorite Oliver look, always looking a little skeptical!
