Oliver 6 Months 2.10.11.

What does being six months old mean to Mr. Oliver?

Sitting up on his own
Eating solids like oatmeal, rice, peas, sweet potato, pears, bananas, and mum mums
Having breakfast and dinner at the table with everyone
Wanting to do EVERYTHING his big brother does
Singing at the top of his lungs, cooing, gurgling, heck even yelling at everyone all day
Being in love with Aunt Kenzie
Smiling at everyone he meets
Scooting acrossed the room on his tummy
Supporting his body weight with his arms (hasn't mastered tucking the knees up yet)
Kicking, paddling, and going under at swimming class by himself
Throwing a F-I-T when he drops something or something gets taken away
The drooly, chewy, fussy beginnings of teething

Sleeping in his crib like a big boy for naps and bed time

...just to name a few

Oliver had his 6 month check up with Dr Doan the day after his half birthday. He now weighs a whopping 16p 4oz and is 26 1/2 inches tall. He is developing perfectly. Dr Doan estimates he will be walking between 10-11 months (noooooooo! Mommy's not ready) He got 5 vaccines and didn't even cry. He just did this little fussy nervous laugh thing.

Its crazy how similar yet different Oliver and Finnley are. Ollie has dark hair and BIG brown eyes- and everyone swears he is much bigger than Finn was, but when I reviewed Finn's 6 month visit he had almost identical measurements.

I remember how concerned I was when I was pregnant with Ollie that I wouldn't be able to love another baby as much as I love Finn, but my heart has truly doubled.
