6 month update

We took Oliver to his 6 month check up on Friday, and he did great! Oliver was happy and talkative the whole check up and then only let out one big scream after getting shots and was done. Seriously, easiest visit yet! Brian was able to make it to this one too, but the punk retreated to the corner of the room for shot time because and I quote he "didn't want Oliver to associate him with pain." haha So I was left to do all the distracting/comforting myself. :) Bottom line - We feel very grateful that Oliver is healthy and happy.

At 6 months, Oliver

-weighs 15.2 lbs /11th percentile (Yes. He is a small baby. But he does have cute, chubby thigh rolls, and I can promise you he is definitely eating!)

-is 26 inches tall/27th percentile

-wears 6 month clothes

-sits up unassisted

-rolls as his preferred method of getting around

-pushes himself up into crawling position and rocks back and forth

-loves to drop things and pick them back up again.

-can put himself to sleep after a bit of protesting (we keep several pacifiers in the crib at all times)

-sleeps from 8pm-8:30am, usually wakes up once around 4am to babble to himself or eat

-finally has consistent nap times at 10:30 and 2:30

I already posted my favorite two pics of Oliver from our diy 6 month photoshoot on instagram/facebook, but here are some of the rest from our photo session.
