Today Oliver turned 6 months old. This has definitely been the fastest six months of my life so far! This afternoon we went for his 6-month check-up to find out that he's a healthy boy. He's now 17 pounds, 11 ounces (in the 60th percentile) and a little over 27 inches long (the 90th percentile). Teeth are coming in soon, according to the doctor, since he could see white buds. Dr. A said they should show up any day now. Most of the time he's a very happy baby who eats well and sleeps amazingly. The only time he gets fussy is when he's bored, has a dirty diaper, or gets tired between 6 and 7 each night (which luckily does not last the entire hour). He loves squealing out loud and laughing. Though he can't sit up on his own yet, he does it well with help. Often when we pull him up with his hands he'll go straight to his feet. As Dr. Adams said today, he looks really tall when he stands up. Oliver loves sitting in his Bumbo seat and playing in his Jumperoo (Thanks for the great deal, Gwen!) or Exersaucer (borrowed from the babysitter). Every time we turn around his tongue is sticking out of his little mouth. The grin on his face when either Brent or I walk in the room is amazing. He starts to laugh when he hears us coming. We are madly in love with this little man!
