Well, it's official. Oliver has two very cute bottom teeth. He had a week or two of being very grumpy in order to sprout such cute teeth. They are tiny, but they can be seen by video chat. He is working on his second batch as we speak. I can see them pushing through, but I think they still have another week or two. Hopefully they break through before we go to Aruba, otherwise the whole plane will hear about it!
He has also been playing with his feet like crazy. Each time it is his mission to get one or both in his mouth, which is only successful about 5% of the time.
He started eating cereal after his 4 month check-up. It really helps his acid reflux. In fact, he was too tired to eat it last night, and he has been spitting up quite a bit already today. Oliver has experimented with many different types of cereal, with his favorite being banana....It's been proven to cure "fussy baby syndrome." Others that he has tried so far are barley, apple, oatmeal (helps to keep him regular!!...a good thing and a bad thing!!) and plain rice cereal. The doctor said we can start mixing in a little Gerber food or mashed banana/applesauce, but we are taking our time with the cereal.
Oliver took revenge against Sofia last week, and gave her a good tug on her hair. He said it was payback for all of the times she's barked in the middle of his chocolate milk dreams. I think it is about that time that the tables are starting to turn...or as Michael Scott says "the turn tables..."
Oliver loves to grab his pacifier out of his mouth and throw it behind hard to reach places. He threw two behind his crib at 4 a.m. this morning! Adam checked the pacifier inventory and found 9 behind his crib....sneaky little guy.
At Oliver's 4 month check-up he was 95% on height and above 95% on weight, weighing in at a whopping 20 pounds. The doctor called Oliver a "chart topper" and said he has a very easy-going personality. Oliver did a good job at sitting quietly while the doctor was talking. I don't think he was trying to be polite, but more like he was interested in the new entertainment. Oliver doesn't have to go back to the doctor until 6 months.
Oliver has been losing his hair for the past month or so. He still has a lot of hair up there, but it is not as dense as it used to be. It seems to be lightening up, also. I keep thinking it is going to turn to Adam's color, but we'll see.
That's about it. I'm going to run and get a shower, while he is still sleeping!
Take Care.
Brooke
