Oliver - 4 Months

I can't believe it's been 4 months since Oliver came into our world! Time just seems to be flying by! Little Oli had his check-up with the doctor yesterday and we are glad to report that he is growing and developing (and as adorable as ever!) His length is 2' 2" (in the 89th percentile - maybe he'll be a tall boy!), his head circumference is 16.5 (in the 38th percentile - small hat size like his dad?), and his weight is 16 lbs 12 oz (in the 82nd percentile - he's solid.) I am back to work now full-time so David took him to the appointment and he said that Oli did better with the vaccinations this time - poor baby. The pediatrician gave us the go-ahead to start solid foods so I imagine we'll try to introduce rice cereal in the next couple of weeks.

Oliver continues to be such a joy in our lives and he really is a good baby. He's still got the remnants of the cold that hit our whole family. His poor tiny nose is still pretty stuffed up but he doesn't seem to be too fussy over it. He's also started the adventure of teething. One of his bottom teeth was just starting to poke through a couple days ago but it seems to have retreated for now. Oli is constantly gnawing on his fingers, hands, toys, blankets, and about anything else he can get his little paws on. Hopefully his little pearly whites don't give him too much trouble coming in!

Wow! He may beat Kaden getting his teeth in! Kaden's first came through for his 5 month birthday. :) Hopefully Oli won't be in too much pain! Crazy how fast they grow up isn't it?!
