Half of a Year


I am six months old!  Here are some fun facts about me:
1. I weigh a lot (21 lbs. and 9 oz.), and I am in the 97th percentile for weight!  I am in the 75th percentile for height, and my head is big, too (because of all of my brains)!  The doctor said, "he is just a big boy all around."  When my mommy is holding me, people always comment on how big I am and how small she is.  But, what they don't know is that my mommy was a huge baby, too - at least in the weight department.

2. I love to roll over and over and over!  I have started to sit up on my own for short periods of time!

  3.  I am really affectionate.  When someone picks me up, I get so excited that I smile and give them a big squeeze.  I love to reach for and grab the face of whoever is rocking me, and I give out slobbery, open-mouthed kisses freely.  My mommy says it is fitting that I am so cuddly and loving because my name, Oliver, means affectionate.

4.  I am still a really good sleeper.  I typically sleep from 7:30 or 8 pm until 7:00 or 7:30 am.  My sleep has been a little bit off recently because I am working on cutting my first two teeth!
Aren't they so adorable?!!

5.  I am such a sweet baby.  I am steady and even most of the time - just like my Daddy.  My Mommy is completely in love with me, and she has to pray daily not to ruin me.  I think it is so funny that I have her so wrapped.

6.  I am still crazy about my big sisters!  They are so sweet to me.  They read me books and show me toys while my Mommy gets ready in the morning.  

Well, that's all for now.  I will let you know more as I get bigger. 
Love, Oliver
