All About Ollie

So far, gross motor skill wise, Oliver is nothing like Collin and Gwen....and I couldn't be happier.
By 4.5 months C & G were already army crawling. They hated their Bumbo seats and were always flailing to try and get out as soon as I would put them in.
Oliver, on the other hand, LOVES his Bumbo. He sits in there for about 10-15 min at a time. Another thing different about C & G and Oliver is that O is learning to sit up on his own. C & G never just sat....they were always on the move.
I love that at 5.5 months I can still put O down somewhere and know where he is. I haven't had to childproof much so that's nice. He's not a huge cuddler but he is somewhat cuddley. He loves avocados, sweet potatoes and bananas. I introduced acorn squash a couple days ago and it's not his favorite but he tolerates it. He loves to grab anything I have in front of him especially his giraffe Sophie. He loves to play with his toes and can bring his toes all the way into his mouth where he proceeds to suck on them. EWWW! :) He is very intrigued by the dogs and I think the feeling is mutual. He LOVES Collin and Gwen. When they talk (even if they're not talking TO him) he just starts smiling like crazy and making babbling noises. He has been making squealing, happy sounds for about a month now and recently he has started blowing raspberries.
In general he is a VERY happy baby. A couple of weeks ago he was fussy for about a week and I was convinced he was going to cut teeth at any moment but nope. No teeth yet. When we are out in public though and people come up to talk to him he is ALWAYS so receptive with a HUGE toothless smile and coo.
I can't even believe sometimes how incredibly lucky I am. I have 3 beautiful, happy, healthy children and an AMAZING husband who is seriously my best friend. Its why I'm the charmed mama. ;) Well Gwen has REALLY been testing me lately but that is a blog for a different day.
