Great few weeks!

Liam has had an amazing few weeks! He walked for the first time a few days ago taking for a five steps independently. He is also using his hands to sign more often. He can sign for diaper, upstairs, light on, cracker, eat, more, Dog, milk, all done... I think that's all. I am now teaching him how to sign music and outside.
He also is using some words. He loves to say Dadaaaa. He also says dog but dog sounds more like ga. He can say "outside" and "light on" but it's kind of hard to understand unless you're with him all the time like we are. According to my mother, he has really good receptive language. He understands what were saying more often and lets us know that he understands by smiling or nodding or signing more".

The answer is No

I there anything better than little hands grabbing your face and pulling it in for a baby bit kiss? No!! It is bliss :)

Talking!

Liam has had a pretty amazing two weeks in a cognitive sense. He is using more words. He is saying "dog" and "all done" and "uh oh" quite often.

Liam is One!

Liam had a great birthday! Jill and I went to Hanover to get some chairs and while there we got lunch at Olive Garden. The manager went Liam a cake!

Strep

Baby has strep! I'm so sick and he's been coughing lately. He also hasn't been sleeping through the night, poor been. So I took him in and yup-- positive strep test! We were prescribed Ceftinir.

Waving

Liam has been waving for a couple weeks now. Usually bye bye AFTER we or someone leaves. But he's getting the hang of it lately. Evidence: he waves to me while he nurses. Adorable!

Clap'

Liam was nursing and just unlatched, clapped a few times, and kept nursing! Glad he enjoys it so much!!

He is getting a new tooth, top right. That'll be his sixth!

Snotter

Bananas!

Liam had his first teeny bits of banana today!

Puffs

We started feeding Liam puffs about two weeks ago. He can feed himself somewhat successfully :)

New carseat

We switched Liam to his convertible carseat this week. He loves it! So much space!

Crib stander!!

Pull up

Nap

Holding a sleeping baby all morning... Heaven!

Two teeth!

Little hands

I am so in love with these little fingers!!!

Sucky

Liam had a fever at daycare on Wednesday! :( I had to leave school early to get him. He is so adorable! Turns out its another ear infection. Omnicef and hoping for the best.
He's sleeping okay but his fever won't go away. So we're headed to the dr this morning!

Love

Sitting here holding my sleeping boy. What an amazing privilege. I love his smell!!

New

Liam can hit one object against another. Liam can say dada. Liam makes a cute face.

Fake ergo?

Reasons I'm suspicious
1. It came in a plastic bag. The registration card was not attached and the instruction book was separate
2. The registration card has no model number sticker
3. The buckle says utx flex
4. The stitching is wonky in a few places
5. The serial number tag is upside down

Sleeping?

Liam had a few rough nights lately!! He woke up about an hour after going down and just could not be out back down. Funny thing is he'd fall asleep as soon as he was back in our arms, but if we tried to put him down... Wahhhh!

We were so tired; we too shifts sleeping in the guest room. I won't complain because this will pass all too soon. Also, a baby who will sleep I. Your arms if always better than a baby who is screaming :)

Six months 11 days!

Liam is six months old and 11 days. He is the cutest baby in the world! He also is making more consonant sounds. Last night he started making Ya Ya sounds. He has already made dada sounds and Baba sounds and of course gaga sounds but no mama sounds yet.

Sleep

Liam is sleeping on me. I Adore these quiet moments with him in my arms. Sweet sleep, precious one.

Cute nurser!

Liam has been playing With his feet for awhile. Lately he has started to play with his foot while nursing. It is super cute!!
