Edit - he weighs 18 pounds and is 26 1/2 inches long. Oliver is 11 months old today! I know I say this every time, but he is the most delightful baby. He’s happy 99% of the time.  He’s crawling all over the place and pulling up onto his knees a lot.  He has two bottom teeth and four coming in right now. He looks ridiculously adorable when those gums and chompers are on display! He babbles and squeals often and only gets out “Momma” when he’s sad.  He loves exploring and heads to the bathroom quite often for some reason. Thank goodness for safe cleaners and clean bathrooms.  He had his first tub bath a few nights ago. Loved it! He adores his siblings and laughs so hard for them.  He enjoys breast milk as his main source of nutrition, but we’ve started introducing finger foods for times I need him occupied. He likes banana, Cheerios, black beans, broccoli, frozen peas, and shredded cheese.  He also likes apple sauce and quinoa....

This cutie pie turned two months old a few days ago, but I wanted to wait until his check-up today to post this.   His pediatrician thinks that there might still be a slight hernia, but now he thinks there's also a hydrocele there, as well. We're going to be scheduling an appointment with a pediatric surgeon to look things over and decide whether surgery is necessary.  Everything else looks good. All the folks checking him over today remarked on how alert and calm he was. His eyes are still very blue (yay!), and he has a sweetness about him that is so endearing.  The appointment was VERY long, but I got some great shots of us :)       We 💙 this boy so very much.
