Oli at 6 months

Oli is just over 6m now.  At 6m he was 20lbs and switched into a huge carseat which I was just told can be turned to face forward now.  I don't really like the new carseat because the clasp is difficult but it's nice not being tempted to carry the darn thing everywhere.  Yes, when Oli is taken out of it he awakens, but he's at the point now where he'd wake up anyway as soon as he got outside because oo new place, oo new stuff to see, etc.

Baby Class

He's been taking a starland baby class with Lisa Zarov for a couple of months now and we've loved it.  Phil even came one day.  Today he was old enough to start a Chicago Park District class across the street too.  We went for his first day and I was not impressed.  The room was small, smelly, claustraphobic, and we only got 5 songs the whole time cuz it was mostly play time and Oli was very over-stimulated.

6 Month Checkup

Oliver had a great checkup with Dr. Hercylek.  She is so good with him!  She was happy with him-- he smiled at her, he was cute and sat up like a big boy all by himself for most of the visit.  But I guess the skin on his penis wasn't pulled far enough back so she lifted it back and removed some white crud that was under it.  The white stuff didn't LOOK bad but I guess it was.  Anyway his penis got a little bloody looking and purple-red-ish.  Poor little guy has been crying every time I've changed him since!  Of course Phil was bouncing about all last night pleased as could be with the new penis look.  "Your penis, " he said in his The Ladies' Man voice, "It will please many women!"  I hope only one woman if he doesn't become a priest or something.

Oli's Looks

Oli's hair is finally coming back in after having sort of thinned over the last few months.  Now it's more like hair-hair.  Oli's teeth still look like they're about to come in, but he still doesn't have any.
