Oliver

My baby is getting SO big.

He is asserting himself and becoming more independent.

He gets upset when a toy stops playing music or when you take the spoon from his mouth to scoop the next bite.

He loves Baby Mum Mums.

He sits up pretty well now.

He can pull his whole belly off of the ground. If you place him on his hands and knees he can hold it for a while.
He loves to eat! So far he has enjoyed everything we've offered him. Mostly he eats rice cereal and oatmeal, but I let him sample fruit or veggies sometimes. This morning he had mango puree in his oatmeal and LOVED it. Last week he tried peas and sweet potatoes. I love making his food by hand.

Kenzie was out with the boys last week and she had Ollie on her lap while she was talking and eating lunch. She was holding a french fry in her hand and Ollie jumped right on it (of course she didn't let him eat it, but he sure wanted to) He is in love with Kenzie, it makes me feel so good to know he is happy while I'm at work.

Oliver enjoys being read to. Right now he loves the Book of Hugs.

Everything Finn does is amazing to him.

I love watching my boys interact.

I hold him and say "mamamamama" and joey says "dadadadada" but he hasn't started imitating us yet.

Finns first word was "dog" I wonder what Olivers's will be.

He loves the way the doggy's fur feels. He likes when the doggies give him kisses.

Oliver is extremely ticklish. He giggles like crazy if you run your fingers down his ribs or thighs. if you kiss his neck rolls he squeals and cracks up.

His favorite toy is the busy ball popper. He sits up and watches it and gurgles and reaches for it. Gramma Terri bought that for him for Christmas- great choice.

I cannot believe his half birthday is next week. Where has the time gone?
