Oliver: Four Months

 Oliver is four months old today! I made the mistake of taking these pictures just as the school bus dropped Camilla off. There was a lot of chaos in my front entry way as Ollie sat on the couch and I might have lost it for a second. The puppy was jumping on Camilla and the kids were all shrieking with glee at the arrival of their big sister. I could hardly get Oliver to look at the camera, but they did help me get some genuine Ollie grins. 

Ollie is quite the chubster and I love him all the way from his rolly chin to his chubby toes.  Kissing his giant cheeks is the highlight of my day! He lights up the room with his smiles and his giggles are to die for! He is super interactive and fun, and likes to be a part of whatever we are doing. 

 He recently discovered his hands and it's so funny watching him stare at them as he plays with his fingers. He can grab things and bring them to his mouth now and enjoys checking out his surroundings with his chubby fingers (when they aren't being sucked on). 

 He can roll from his front to his back and is super close to rolling back to front. He loves his jolly jumper but hasn't quite figured out how it works yet. I find it super helpful when I'm cleaning bedrooms in the morning. Puppy likes to jump up and say hello when he's in his jumper and it makes him giggle.

 He is quite the thinker lately and even tries to make conversation sometimes! He blows bubbles and babbles to whoever will listen, but gets especially excited when Daddy holds him after work. Whenever he snuggles with me he wraps my hair in a death grip and grabs my shirt with the other hand.

 He is such a joy and I can hardly believe how quickly this time is passing! He has grown out of a lot of his clothes already and we are into the 6 month box. He is pretty big and round, which just means there's more to love! 

Sleep has been hit and miss lately and I think he may be cutting some bottom teeth already. His fingers are constantly in his mouth and he is working his gums pretty good! Camilla has been a huge help with him lately and loves that she can carry him around a little bit more now (even if they are practically the same size). He is happy to go anywhere with her, as long as he's being held! He is such a delight and we are so happy he's ours!
