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!

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...

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.
