The Wood Between the Worlds

 All of us are enjoying every single moment with this new baby.  It is such a blessing to attain this kind of love and enjoyment of life.  A blessing I know I would not have been able to appreciate if Elsa had lived.  <3<3<3

Ollie's six month stats:

Height: 28 inches, 96th percentile

Weight: 18.5 pounds, 70th percentile

Head circumference: 17.75 inches, 85th percentile

Our pediatrician said he was the size of a 1 year old!  Haha!  He is still a bit smaller than our two other boys were at this age.  He's babbling up a storm...so cute!  He is social with everyone, but especially with his brothers and Brent and I.  He grabs for EVERYTHING.  He loves eating solid food and drinking water out of my glass.  He started sticking his tongue out all the time, especially when he smiles.  He likes to imitate sounds and blow raspberries.  He still isn't quite sitting up independently, but he is very strong.  He seems to be content to just be held or sit up in his super saucer.  He also has NOT cut the two bottom front teeth which he has been working on for months!  But he has become a lot less fussy since I started feeding him solids and he is sleeping better at night.  I feed him avocado mixed with ground up brown rice every night before bed, and that has done a GREAT job of keeping him full at night.
