6 Months

Eek! I'm a bit behind on this post!
Well, Liam is officially 6 months old - can you believe it?! He is an absolutely happy, excited, lovable little boy!
We are teething right now so our finger are CONSTANTLY in our mouth. I tried really hard to keep pulling them out and could never get him to keep them out of his mouth!

I had to include this picture, it is not a great picture but it truly captures how much Liam looks up to his sister! Ha!

Our little boy had made some huge changes this month:
  • He has grown a tremendous amount this month and weights almost 20 pounds (19 pounds 17 ounces - WOW!), He has very chunky thighs - so cute!
  • He picks his whole belly up during tummy time and if you catch him at the right time, he can somewhat pick his booty up. 
  • He can rotate 360 degrees on his belly. Pretty much wherever his sister is in the room, he is facing!
  • He can now roll both directions and will move himself all over the room (especially to get to a particular toy). 
  • He has gotten a bit of tough love in the sleeping department (sorry buddy!) because I am exhausted! He can truly put himself to sleep and is placed wide awake in his crib. He gets up once or twice in the middle of the night but will only require a pacifier popped back in (with much tough love).
  • His 2 bottom teeth have popped out - yay!
  • He continues to be a very portable boy and is often pulled all around to his sister's activities. 
  • He is happy (unless he is hungry or tired) and loves to giggle and smile! (especially at his sister!)
  • He has started solid foods and is  proving to be a much pickier eater than his sister. He loves carrots, bananas, avocado and sweet potatoes. He does not like mangoes, squash, or peas and gets extremely upset if you keep trying it.  
  • He can sit on his own but needs some pillows behind him as he will often tip over. 
  • He LOVES his sister!! It is so fun to watch them at the dinner table - giggles at each other and smiles galore! (we will truly have our hands full with the two of them). 
Here's some pictures from the last month: 
Smiles for everyone!

One of the best things of Callie's swim lessons was that they fell during Liam's nap time. I got snuggles for 2 weeks straight. 

My two little goofballs!

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

7 Months

This month seemed to have flown by just as quickly as all the others. It's crazy to think she has been part of our family for seven months already. We have had our first real battle (and are still battling) with a never ending cold. She has been a trooper though - although I wish that we could do more to help her. Here's what is new (things have moved very quickly this month): She is up on all fours. She seems to be taking after her cousin Clara, where she can crawl backwards but not yet forwards - which can be very frustrating as the toy she is trying to get to seems to just keep getting farther and farther away. After she learned to get up on all fours, she very quickly learned to go from all fours to sitting. We have yet to find any real foods that she will turn down, although green beans appears to be her favorite so far. When feeding her green beans she will lean forward VERY far and open her mouth as wide as can be just to get the next bite. We can't seem to get

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
