Oliver is 4 months and here are the facts:
weight - 16 pounds (75%)
height - 26 inches (90%)
A day in the life of Oliver consists of;
sleeping
He goes down around 10pm, wakes up at 5am for a feeding, then is up for the day at 10am. He takes multiple catnaps during the day.
playing
Oliver loves laying on the floor with toys and rattles. His favorite toy is a small blanket that crinkles.
swinging
Oliver will sit in his swing for up to an hour while I get things done around the house.
and
eating
(still breastfeeding, so no picture, sorry to disappoint)
The two biggest changes in Oliver's life this last month have been this
no, that is not a bad hair cut, he is balding. Everyone told me he would lose his hair, I didn't believe them, but this just makes me sad. It's worse then male-pattern baldness.
and this
We moved him out of the pack-n-play in our room to his own crib in his own room. This was much harder for me then for Oliver.
As far as personality, Oliver is a real people person and loves the attention. He is generally a happy baby who loves to play and laugh.

Vanessa he is soooo cute! Thanks for telling me (indirectly anyway) about the blog so I can keep up with you guys!
Aww, he's cute even though he's balding. It could just be from where it rubs when he sleeps (and good heavens, that's a fine sleeper!). Adelle never lost any hair except for where her head hit the bed. Millie...well, she was bald already! It ain't so bad.
SO jealous of your good sleeper! He's definitely a cutie!
Oliver is so cute! I love the first picture of him! He looks adorable. About your signing questions on my blog, I live in a town that has a huge public library. Every video Ainsley has watched came from there, but I know you can order them online. I started by having Ainsley watch the Baby Einstein called, "My First Signs" when she was about 5-6 months. Then after I got sick of it, I checked out the Baby Signing Time, it is aimed for babies and has a lot more songs rather than talking. There are at least two volumes. Then I started having her watch the First Series of Signing Time, starting with "Everyday Signs" and "Playtime Signs" because these had the types of signs I wanted her to use. Now that she is older she has watched almost all of them multiple times. She started signing milk around 9-10 months but I know every kid is different. I have really enjoyed it. Before I got pregnant, I never thought I'd get this into signing, but it has been a life saver. I started doing it to give me a 30 minute break so I could clean/cook but she has loved them so much that now she begs for them. I have to limit how much she watches it now. Anyway, good luck. Hope it works for you too!
That Oliver is the cutest! I can't believe he is growing so fast. Congrats on moving him to the crib...this is a big step. P.S. Love you blog background.
He is the cutest! And I'm so happy to see him in our outfit :) looks good!
