Oliver- 4 months
Stats: 15lbs 2oz. (50th%)
25.5" long (70th%)
17.25" head (87th%)
So overall, well proportioned with a slightly large head, must take after his father. :)
Oliver is such a good baby. He coos and laughs and is just plain happy. Of course he gets grumpy when he's overtired or starving but who doesn't? He has such a sweet spirit. Sometimes after I feed him before bed he just stares right into my eyes and coos at me for 5-10 mins. I feel like we have a special bond during those moments. I still can't tell what he is going to look like. I think he and Elijah will look like brothers but Oliver seems to have more of me in his features. We shall see.
Some Facts about Oliver @ 4 months
- GREAT sleeper. Goes down for bed at 7, we give him a little snack at 10 and he sleeps til between 7-8. He doesn't do as well napping in his crib during the day, but he will sleep forever in his carseat, which makes running errands nice. He still seems to be working out the kinks with gas and pooping so sometimes that wakes him up, but he's easy to put back to bed at night.
- Still getting mostly breastmilk in a bottle (5oz), with about 2 bottles of formula thrown in there so I can stay ahead. Which reminds me: I made it to 4 months pumping! Yoohoo! I've now cut down my pumping to only 4 times a day, which is much more manageable. Next goal is 5 months. Then if I'm lucky 6. I'll probably stop then. I think my pump and I need to be separated for a while. :)
- ROLLED OVER yesterday. Tummy to back. I can't believe it.
- In size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothing.
- Becoming very verbal. Talks, laughs and smiles like nobody's business!
- Still appears to have blue eyes
- Has started finding his hands and drooling on them
- Loves playing peek-a-boo.
- Loves when I sing Baa Baa Black Sheep
- When he goes to sleep he nuzzles his little softy blanket and his eyes roll as he settles down to slumber.
- Is getting really good at not becoming startled when Elijah screams or some other loud noise happens. He just chills.
- He get so mad when you take his bottle away before he's finished. And when he knows it's time to eat he starts breathing really fast and kicks his little legs in anticipation. Cutest thing.

Thanks so much for the updates. We LOVE seeing the kids, hearing all about their exploits and watching them in action. They are growing up so fast.
