4 months

Oliver is 4 months old and just got his 3 month jabs - only slightly behind but we're catching up:) He weighs 6.35kg, or 14lbs, and is doing all the right things to make his mum proud! He is pretty content, alert, seems to save his smiles for the girls we meet, although his daddy gets the best ones out of him! He puts himself to sleep by screaming at the top of his lungs for 5 minutes, much to the dismay of people around us, but we're used to it. He loves being read to and grabs the pages and pulls them into his mouth. He has his favourite rattles, just discovered the joy of chewing plastic spoons and likes his bouncy chair, but the best entertainment by far...is big brother Jake. Oliver watches intently as Jake eats, plays, talks, runs around, or sings. Jake has started instructing us to 'tell' Oliver things. Example, "Mum, tell Oliver I'm eating my cheerios" me: "Ok, Oliver, Jake is eating his cheerios", and this goes on usually until I've had enough...

To mark his 4 months, we took Oliver swimming for the first time...he loved it! No tears even in the change room! Jake showed off and was swimming in circles around Daddy & Oliver on his pool noodle.

We enjoyed some alone time in queens park yesterday while Jake was at nursery, and enjoyed the green grass and yes, more sunshine!!

He is really getting strong and is somehow able to hold up his big head:)

Working really hard to get his ladybug rattle into his mouth...
