6 months

I can't believe lil baby Oliver is 6 months old. I am so thankful that we have a happy, healthy, wonderful 6 month baby boy. Lately, I have been doing a lot of "It was just a year ago and we were..." Here are a few...

• I was just getting over my noon and evening sickness and was enjoying eating food again.
• Heartburn had replaced the ickiness.
• I was wondering if I was ever going to "look pregnant" (boy, did I ever!)
• We called him "Bean"
• Every doctor's appointment was an opportunity to hear his heartbeat and know (as best we could) everything was "ok".
  
• We were eagerly awaiting our 20 week ultrasound in July to make sure Bean was healthy and developing-and if Bean was a girl or a boy!
  
• Wondering what kind of child our little bean would be...

Which brings me to my next list...what we know about Oliver so far...

• He is a "people" person. Oliver smiles at strangers and loves to interact with people.
• Oliver is so physical! He loves to roll and pivot and MOVE!
• He is definitely going to be one of those kids who is into everything-pulling books off bookcases, etc.
• For the most part, he is a happy easy going kid.

My last list (I promise!)
Little things I don't want to forget:

• Right now he has discovered the volume on his voice and loves to get really loud and then laugh.
• I love how he smiles at you when he sees you when you come to get him out of his crib.
• I love how he places his hand on my arm when I sit him up to burp.
• He used to grab the burp cloth and hold it in his hands and it made him look like a little waiter. (You had to see this one)

Finally, I had to show these pictures of Oliver. (Yes, that's my hand keeping him from falling out of the chair.) The top picture I took today and the bottom one Doug took of Oliver in February.


Growing boy!
