Two Months - July 24, 2009

At his two-month checkup on July 27th, Liam weighed in at a whopping 13 lbs. 4 oz. and had grown to 23 inches long. The first thing the doctor said when she saw his weight was that it was amazing that this was the same kid that we were worried about two months ago because he wasn't gaining weight. He clearly is packing it on now - we've had to pull out the 3-6 month clothes already. He's almost caught up to his cousin Brynley who is 6 months and just over 14 lbs.

Here he is with the monthly monkey.

He had his first vaccinations at his appointment and it was really sad to watch.

Other firsts in July also included:
First Roadtrips - he's now been in six states (RI, MA, CT, NY, NJ, and PA) with a few more coming this month. Including the trip to the pageant and two to PA, he logged at least 1800 miles and about 36 hours in the car.
First Smiles
First Swimming Pool
First MLB Game
First Babysitter (yes, I cried)

Liam loves to be held and loves to be moving. He really enjoys going for walks and almost always stays awake in the stroller - gazing around and taking it all in. He also loves bathtime and hates it to end. He's trying to condition me to not take him out by peeing all over me as soon as I take him out of the bathtub. I still take him out, we just wash his towels a lot. He also enjoys tummy time (especially if there is a mirror nearby). He's staring to make a few more noises but still prefers to grunt to get your attention and doesn't keep it a secret when he's uncomfortable or lonely.
