Oliver James came to us six months ago and although he came into our world with gusto, we soon discovered his sweet well mannered personality. Over the past six months Ollie has traveled for days at a time by car and plane, lived in two different houses, still has not had a room of his own and not yet slept in a "real" bed. Some children would let you know that their little lives has been crazy, but he has always been sweet, gentle and one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. Ollie has recently mastered the skill of sitting up straight as a board on his own and now can interact with his big sis like never before. We know that sooner than we will be comfortable with, he will be following right behind her and keeping up with her just fine! His current favorite foods are bananas and pears and eats a huge amount every day. We are concerned about our future grocery bill! Although watching Charlotte is his favorite activity, he did have a great time at the local philharmonic orchestra we went to a week or two ago. We ended up leaving the concert early because he was being so vocal about his love of the music!
His six month pictures are the perfect example of his lovely little personality. These pictures were taken with him having a decent fever. We could not decide to take them or not because he had slept for the most part of the day, including a five hour nap in the afternoon and just generally did not feel like doing much except being cuddled. We are not sure if the fever is due to teething (note the fingers constantly in his mouth) or just a little bug that is going around. Either way, this is him with a fever, pretty sweet just the same!
We hope you enjoyed the pictures of our little man! He is the perfect addition to our family and his personality is loved by everyone he meets!
