Oliver is 4 Months!

Mr. 4 Months

The stats:

Weight: 16 lbs 4 oz (68th %ile)

Height: 26" (85th %ile)

Head: 16.54" (62nd %ile)

He is not the 97th %ile guy he used to be. Doc is keeping a watch on it. His first 2 months he gained 6.5 lbs. Second 2 months, not even a pound. Needless to say, I'm worried, but he still looks healthy and he's got some "extra". He is not a small child, but not the blob he was. 

He's now sleeping for the most part in a crib in Eldon's old room. Eldon has moved in with the other boys, and loves it. He still gets up 1 to 2 times a night. I created that monster by nursing him to sleep in our bed, but he'll be in college in no time, so I don't mind snuggling with him in the night. 

He is very grabby, now. Hair puller. He laughs hard. He'll get offended if you set him down when he would rather be held, and he'll let you know about it. He has what someone referred to as a potato face or maybe Jabba the Hutt face, but when you make eye contact, his eyes light up and you quickly get a big smile.

He is very mild mannered and easy going for the most part. The boys adore him. Whenever they are crying, or hurt, "Super Oliver" comes to save the day with a Super Oliver kiss. Tears turn immediately to giggles. Lincoln, especially is a good older brother. He is always very concerned when Oliver is crying and does his best to soothe him.

While Eldon does like the baby, he also enjoys picking him up 3 inches off the ground and dropping him, so Mama Bear does have to be on alert. 

He is a little sweetsie. I am doing my best to savor each moment. The thought that he might be our last makes me sad. I love my babies. Who knows, maybe he won't be our last.

He rolled over (Sept 11) in the laundry room while I was helping the other boys do something elsewhere. Poor buddy. Mom didn't even witness his first roll from back to belly.

Angel face.
