oliver jack is 6 months old...

oliver jack rolls.

he rolls everywhere.

i do not think he will ever crawl or walk. he will just roll.

not to mention that he has rolls everywhere.

he wants to be a part of everything and get into everything. rolling has made it easy for him to accomplish both. harper and calvary were much more content with just laying there looking at the sky. oliver jack actually plays with toys...and anything else he can get in his hands. when he is in my arms he is constantly leaning towards the ground looking from some evidence of fun to be had. harper and calvary are genuinely in the down direction as well as all of their mess so i guess that is why he has taken to this little trick.

i still cannot believe that oliver jack is 6 months old. there are times when i look at him and i think that it is not possible that half a year has already passed! we had his visit with the doctor and everyone commented on how happy is. i have noticed that he has become a bit spoiled in the past month and he wants me to hold him quite a bit more. it has been far too easy for me to spoil him because he is so sweet, but i obviously cannot hold him all day so we are working through the beginning frustrations of learning that we cannot always get what we want.

i have called oliver jack "chins and grins" and "cheeks and squeaks" since very early on, so i was remarkably shocked to learn that his weight was only in the 60th percentile at 18lbs. i guess he seems huge to me because harper weighed 19lbs well into her second year of life.

it is also funny to me that harper was walking at this height of 27 inches....but oliver just rolls. he is in the 75th percentile for his height and the 100th percentile for his joy.

at our most recent beach trip i learned that oliver jack adores the ocean and sand. i even took him out in the ocean up to my chest and he just squealed and laughed the entire time. he's going to be so much fun when we take our family trip in july. the whole time i was there i just kept thinking that i could not wait for kyle to see how much he loves it.

he is healthy and happy and i could not ask for any more...well, except that they know jesus. outside of that, i am content with happy and healthy.

this is jack's new scrunched up face...he makes it quite a bit....
