Leaps and Bounds in Liam Land

Hello all. Liam is doing some amazing things. We put him on his tummy and video taped him. Within 20 seconds he rolled over all by himself onto his back! He has passed things from hand to hand and he uses his feet to bring object closer. Every day he does amazing things, I am so thankful, I am here (not at work), to see him. Well, I gotta go to bed! Love you guys!

Very Successful Tummy Time Today

Chris took these pictures, he always gets really good ones in half the time it takes me to get them. I love it. 2 posts today. Going to bed soon. Love you all!

Peaches ! ! !

MMMMMM Nummy nummy peaches. I tricked him into eating the yucky rice cereal by sneaking it in behind the peaches!

Hello All ! ! !

Not much to say today, sure miss and love you guys. The B side grandparents are together down south for my dad's radiation treatments---he is almost finished and then they will be visiting Feb. 4-6. I am going to work a 12 hour day on the 5th and I have twisted my parent's arms into sitting for my so difficult child. We are really looking forward to the visit! I am also excited because Chris is watching Liam tomorrow morning and I get to sleep in. I get excited easily these days. I am really looking forward to this Friday: our friend Matt's wife, Tiffany and their little guy Gunner, are coming to visit in the afternoon and then that night, I am going out for Ladies Night with my Church and new friends. It was interesting I met my pastor's father in law on Sunday and he is my Auntie Lu and Uncle Pete's former pastor. Neat co-inky-dink!
So the above pictures are just some random recent favorites. Doesn't he look like he is saying, "Hello? Is this thing on?" To the round toy in the last picture? Maybe he will be a singer! He really loves to chew on his fingers and play with his toesies-toesies, (as Grandpa B says). We are buying him some bubbles tomorrow, I can't wait to see what he thinks of them. Well that is all for now. Til later!

Happy Five Month Birthday--For Real This Time ! ! !

So we had a pretty good day today, not much to say but here are some "fresh" pictrures of little man. Love you all!

It Ain't Over Til the Fat Baby Sings

I know Liam is done sleeping for the night because every morning he sings when he wakes up. It is hilarious. More pictures, taken today; he is doing great.

More pictures

MMMMMMMMMMM.........???????????

Three posts tonight; first two mostly pictures!

MMMMMMMM.....!

These pictures go with the following post, I couldn't seem to add them properly! I love how he is looking cross eyed, then thinks about it with food all over his face and then he seems to say, I like it!

Big Day For Baby ! ! !

Look at little man eating his first foods! OK, OK, so most of it ended up on his face or up his nose, but look how good he did. It was crazy, he saw the spoon coming towards him and immediately opened up. All it is, is formula with rice starch. We do that for 4-6 tablespoons a day for about 2 weeks and then we start on fruits and veggies, (jars/mashed of course) all the while still supplementing formula at about 28 oz a day.
OK, onto his stats: Liam weighs 16 pounds 14 oz and is 25 inches long. Doctor says he looks great and is developing just right. Chris has been going to a Chiropractic Neurologist for his arm and he is making FANTASTIC strides. Well, Chris took Liam with him yesterday and his doc said Liam's "Ocular functioning is above average" meaning his ability to track and recognize objects near and far. I am so proud, sniff, sniff. One more thing, we don't go by weeks when counting Liam's age anymore. So he actually isn't a month older until the 22nd of each month. Taking that into account, he is 5 months on Sunday and according to the books, he is doing some things way ahead of schedule. I was so worried about his progress during tummy time, but during the doc appointment this morning, Doc B put Liam on his tummy and Liam just launched right up into a 90 degree angle and held the position. He was such a ham, laughing at the doc and showing off. No more worries about that, just keep up the tummy time.
Well, Liam is asleep early tonight, kind of fussy rough day, but all in all, really good. The doc says his waking up every 2-3 hours is just for comfort not for food, so after he feels better, maybe a day or so, I am to only give him one, bigger bottle in the middle of the night. Although it will be hard at first, because he will cry until he relearns what is going on, I can't wait for the extra sleep. Tonight I will give him comfort every hour if that is what he needs, he earned it! Well, dinner is ready, Chris made it because he is concerned Liam will have a rough night so therefore so will I, what a sweetie. I am going to bed at 9pm--gotta watch CSI! Til later guys!

I am Dreading Tomorrow

Liam has his shots tomorrow at 10:30ish. I hate that he has a rough day after but the actual scream/crying when he gets the shots is what I am most not looking forward to. My little guy is so happy, so much of the time it is going to be a yucky day. Luckily this time I know I can give him Tylenol right away. So, Liam is doing great with his bottle feeding. He doesn't complain unless it is cold. Then he gags on it and refuses. It is quite dramatic. I took some great pictures of Liam on his new stationary entertainer, I will post those tomorrow. He really likes it. He can bounce and spin. He liked the walker, but I didn't like how his feet dangled mid air. This new one his feet touch the little platform. Speaking of feet, Liam's new thing is to take his own socks off. He works dilligently and persistently taking it off with his the toes of one foot, hooking into the opposite heel and he is very single minded until he gets them off. Very dexterious toesies! Please pray for little guy, (more than normal!) and thank you guys! Til tomorrow.

His First Time in a High Chair ! ! !

We went out to lunch with a friend and her son and Liam sat in a high chair for the first time. I took a lot of pictures. He was soooo good! I got video of him talking so loud to show Chris, it was hilarious. We had lunch at Red Robin. I put some cantalope juice on Liam's tongue and he liked it. Next we went to Barnes and Nobles and got a Noah's Ark book similar to the one Auntie Carolyn bought Liam for Christmas with little pull out foam pieces and we got Baby's First Prayers which is the sequel to the yelllow Baby's First Bible that Grandmalinda bought. Remember with all the neat pictures I took of Liam? This one is blue. Then we went to Babies R Us and I went insane. But not totally. I really wanted to buy Liam this Excersaucer because he loves his walker but his feet don't hit the floor and in the Excersaucer he could spin and jump, but I knew Chris would talk me out of it so I hurried up and called him and he agreed, it was a bit much for now. So I got some baby bottles, (now we like Avent), some PJs, and bibs. All in all I was very well behaved! Well, that is all for now, bye.

I Think He is Going to be a Dentist...

Liam LOVES to watch me brush my teeth. He just gets this bemused look on his face and is just mesmerized. Every time! Funny. So I tried really hard to get his teeth in a picture, this is the best I could get. Soon I won't have to even try, they come out more each day. Well, til later, guys!!!!
