Six Months - November 24, 2009



I'm really late getting this up but Liam had his six-month checkup the day before we left Rhode Island and his six-month-birthday the day of craziness when we packed up the moving truck.  We took pictures the following day and this was the only picture I got of him looking at the camera - he was much more interested in looking at (or attempting to chew on) his monkey.

6 Month Stats
19 lbs. 1 oz.
26 inches

Diet these days includes rice cereal, many fruits and vegetables and often whatever mom is eating because he begs for a bite.  (Tonight it was seven-layer dip and he was loving the beans and guac.)  He must think the baby food is a little bland because he really prefers food with a little more flavor - once he had tasted the dip tonight I had to alternate it with cereal to get him to finish.

It wasn't on his six-month birthday, but for Christmas we got a crib!  Yesterday Will put it together (a true act of love and patience) and I think we were both a little nervous about Liam would respond to both the crib and sleeping in a different room from us (first time since he was born).  He did extremely well!  It was a little sad and I had a moment of not wanting him to grow up so fast.

Liam also learned this week how to throw stuff to the ground from his highchair.  While I was on a conference call Friday he was playing very well with toys in his highchair one minute and then I looked over and they were all on the floor.  As soon as I could pick them up, he thew them down again.  He really got a kick out of himself and has continued pushing everything off of the highchair all weekend.

I love that he is learning all of these fun new things. haha. He is getting so big. I hope he doesn't grow up too fast but I can't wait until he can talk and tell us funny things like Sam does. Love you guys!
