I'm Doing Just Fine

He loves loves loves to talk to his toys and he so very serious about it!!
He was playing with his ding a ling here. That's the toy my sister, Sharlet, made for him. He loves it!!!! She was right, "Every little boy [does] need a ding a ling!!"
Ollie had his 4 month check up today. He's 3 months and 3.5 weeks or he's simply 17 weeks!! He weighs 15lbs and 13oz which is the 70th percentile. He is 26.5 inches long and in the 95th percentile which is much better than his 20th percentile last time!!!! HA!!!

He's sitting up well while supported, cooing "talking," batting at toys, grasping toys, putting things in his mouth, drooling, spitting up and eating irratically just like he's supposed to be at this stage! In other words, he's doing just fine!! He did not get shots today because we are going to get the at the health department because my insurance does not fully cover them. Stupid health insurance!

Its hard to hold him now because he is trying so hard to sit up that he'll flop right out of your arms. Ya gotta hold him. He loves to bear weight on his legs so he loves his exersaucer a lot!!! His little back, neck and arms are sooo strong and he does so well at tummy time.

Things are looking good. Not much else to report since we just had a Valentine's Day report. We hope all is well with everyone else!! THE END!

Happy Valentine's Day (a day late)

Yesterday we celebrated Valentine's Day. Of course, Ollie enjoyed lots of chocolate coated suprises and candy hearts that read, "Kiss Me." Okay, so maybe not all this, but he did get lots of kisses all day. It was a good Saturday. Here are some pictures of Ollie in his Valentine's Day outfit from Gran. Sent with Love!!
He was being very good for tummy time pictures, but he kept wanting to roll to his back.


This past week he's been sitting in his exersaucer more and more (thanks James and Sarah) and he loves it. He's started to look at the toys and bat at them more and more. I've got some great pictures of this, too. The pictures say it all so I won't spend much time up here.

He loves to talk to his toys, too!

We go back to the doctor on Wednesday this week so we'll have more news to share then.
