Oliver is 4 Months!

 Oliver, you are 4 months old!!! In many ways it seems like you are growing up so fast but at the same time its hard to believe you have only been here four short months!  You were meant to be part of our family and we are thankful for you every day :)

This is what you have been doing this past month...
-Growing!  At your 4 month check up your stats were:
Height: 24 inches (86%)
Weight: 13 lb 1.5 oz (75%)
Head Circ: 39.7 cm (70%)
....This explains why you are popping out of all your clothes!
-You are wearing 9-12 month old clothing
-You wear size 2 diaper
-You love your pacifier and red blanket (Thanks Al!)
-You like to play!  The exersaucer, play mat, Bumbo and toys make you happy
-Babbling...you have found your voice and like to "chat" especially in the afternoon :)
-Giggles...love that
-Smiles...my favorite!  You have a great smile...you open your whole mouth and your eyes twinkle
-Grabbing everything...if it's in front of you, you will grab :)
-Rolling over!  You rolled one time while we were in Chicago last weekend...made the trip even more memorable
-Tummy time...you have gotten much more confident on your tummy and like to push yourself up
-Sleeping is still sporadic but you are starting to take a bit longer naps...you go to bed between 8 and 9 and still wake up at least twice in the night to eat
Natalie helped out at your 4 month check up :)
 Your brother and sister adore you and you adore them too!!! Love the three of you  to pieces :)
You have a soft spot for your sister...she can make you smile anytime!  Natalie continues to be a huge help...anticipating Oliver's needs and eager to make him happy
Oliver- we LOVE you!!! Praising the Lord for his perfect timing and letting us watch you grow as a part of our family :)
