Ollie eats



Since Oliver's 6 mo. check up, I've been trying to get him to eat some solid foods. This video shows uncommon success... usually most of the meal ends up on Ollie's chest.

Oliver at 6 months

Yesterday Oliver and I braved the 9 degree chill outside and went to his 6 month appointment.

After being ill for much of December, I guess I hadn't been feeding him as well as in the past... So my big guy is no longer big for his age :(

15 lbs 13 oz: 20th weight
26 1/8 inches: 39th height
58th percentile head circumference



Poor Ollie also got three shots and an oral vaccination. This is him after the shots and a good bit of screaming.


Now the task is to keep pushing the solids-- something else Ollie doesn't like yet.

Stephen's first real robot

He was quite tickled with the results:







Snowball fight

There was a good bit of snow in Chicago, and a warm, sunny Saturday for the boys to enjoy it. I love their stiff hooded silhouettes.
