4 Months

 Jumped until he couldn't jump anymore. He's looks like a mini Grandpa Wollerman in the Marines.



Well it is hard to believe that four months has arrived. Oliver had another appointment and the Doctor said he looks healthy and great. He is at the top of the charts again and his new stats are: Weight- 18.8 pounds, Height- 26 inches, and Head Circumference- 44 cms. Amazing huh?
We have had a couple of great milestones. The first is he is starting to laugh. If I make strange noises or tickle him he will giggle. It's adorable. The second is that he is starting baby food! I put him in his Bumpo seat, which his thunder thighs barely fit into and TRY to feed him. He seems to wear more then actually goes into his mouth.
Oliver has a new favorite toy, the Jumperoo. Oliver will spend an hour jumping up and down, up and down. It's like he has an inner tube stuck around his waist and he is trying to bounce it off. Most people dread going to the gym to get a work out like that and Oliver enjoys it! Maybe he's working out to get those thunder thighs in shape so they fit in the Bumpo leg holes.

Safe and Sound

You wouldn't think so but there are perks to flying with a small child. People are just so much nicer when you are traveling with a little one. We had several people help us through out our journey including the pilot of our plane! After we had gotten off the plane we were waiting for the airport workers to bring up Oliver's stroller from the cargo hold for quite awhile. Finally the pilot of our flight got off the plane and asked if we were waiting for our stroller. When we told him we were he went down of the tarmac and pulled our stroller out and brought it up for us. Talk about service! Oliver was awesome again on the way home and slept almost the whole time. We really had a nice time down in South Carolina but it is sure nice to be back home. Below are a few pictures from the rest of our trip. Enjoy!

He can touch his toes! Just needed a little help to keep them there!

The Cousin's Meet at Last!

Oliver, Emma and Abby finally meet. Mom, Oliver, and I flew down to South Carolina to visit my sister Heather and my nieces.  I was so worried about how he would do on the plane but he did awesome. Our first leg of the journey was from the Appleton airport to Detroit. Oliver slept the whole way, take off to landing. Then we had an hour lay over at Detroit before our flight to Charlotte. We let Oliver stretch our and ate a little lunch. When we boarded the plane Oliver was looking all over and I fed him his bottle and he fell asleep until the landing and fussed a little bit but once we were on the ground he was happy as a calm again. Everyone on the plane was so impressed with him. We got the comment "We didn't even know he was on the plane."  Success!!!

It's been fun seeing the cousins together. I feel like I'm back working at the daycare at the YMCA. Stinking diapers and crying babies galore. One thing I have learned on this trip is that vacations aren't and never will be what they use to be. Rest and relaxation, what does that mean?
