Oliver is 4 Months Old!





Weight: 18 lbs. 3 oz.


Height: 26 1/2 inches


What he's wearing: Size 3 diaper, 6-9 month clothes


Special tricks: Oliver can now roll over! He started doing it a couple of weeks ago, but he isn't rolling all over the place yet. He also now mimics us when we make noises. One noise, in particular, he can do perfectly. He still loves his hands...they are constantly in his mouth, along with anything else he can get his paws on!


Eating: Every 4 hours; he is also now eating rice cereal or oatmeal twice a day.


Sleeping: He eats at 8:00 pm, goes to sleep right after that and sleeps until I wake him up at 6:00 am to eat again.


Activities: We recently put Oliver in his exersaucer, and he is in love! We have to put blankets around him since he's still a bit unsteady, but he goes nuts! He is quite the mover and shaker these days. Our pediatrician said his gross motor skills are far above average and predicted he will be walking by 9 months...yikes!

It's Grub Time!

We started Oliver on cereal this past week. He may be only 3 1/2 months, but the dude weighs over 18 lbs. Milk just wasn't cutting it anymore! He was not so sure about it at first and only ate about half of what I made.



"What is this stuff, Mom?"



"Hmm...this might be ok after all."







As you can see, he just kept getting messier...



and messier...



and messier! He had to have a bath after this experience.



Ahhh...satisfied and happy!



Our first attempt at solids was a success! I have a feeling we are going to be hard-pressed to find a food that Oliver won't eat!
