Oliver is Six Months Old!

Oliver is SIX MONTHS OLD! (gasp)

18 pounds, 5 ounces (60%)

28.5 inches long (97%)

17 inch head circumference (30%)

At six months, Oliver:

eats 7-8 ounces every 4-5 hours ... and a bowl of cereal at night

takes only one nap in the afternoon from 1-3pm

much to his parents' dismay, is not sleeping through the night (eating once at 1am)

wears size 6-12 months (snugly) and size 12-18 months (comfortably)

is EXTREMELY LONG ... off the growth charts last month!

sleeps on his belly by choice

is just beginning to sit independently (slouching over a bit)

is OH-SO-READY to crawl ... and can get up on his hands and knees

tried his first vegetable (squash) this month

sucks his fingers (just like his NeNe did)

also enjoys sucking on his toes

loves tearing paper and anything that crinkles

demands to be held during every meal

protests his infant carrier until he gets taken out of it

is still suuuuuper laid back and mommy's "easy baby"

attended two Sherando High School football games this month

thinks his big brother is the funniest person in the world

total . drool . monkey .

poops more than any baby I've ever known ... seriously!

squeals and "sings" all the time just so you know he's around

has been through a hurricane

enjoyed his first Halloween as a lobster

wears size 3 diapers

loves holding mommy's hand -- constantly 

thinks mommy's hair is the most fun toy in the universe

is still ... slowly ... earning Jackson's approval

... and fits perfectly into our family!

Happy Six Months, baby boy!

I cannot believe you've been here 1/2 a year already!

You are growing up so fast!

Mommy is proud of you and loves you with all her heart!

xoxo
