Five Months

If you haven't noticed, I am a little behind on my blog postings. But on June 22nd Liam turned 5 months old. He is learning and growing so quickly. I am trying to soak in every last minute. I love that at this stage, we celebrate each month as if i were a mini-birthday! We eat, sleep and breathe that little boy and would not have it any other way.

We've boarded the milestone train and wave as we pass each station, only stopping long enough to grab a photo or two. Liam continues to roll over onto his belly and giggle. He is getting so good at lifting his head, each time for longer and longer periods.

We discovered that two lips, a little spit and a humming blow makes raspberries and boy oh boy are those fun!

We learned that humans have opposable thumbs and that if you focus really hard you can grasp for objects on the exersaucer and put them in your mouth.

And we discovered our toes...

Jackie & Nick Banker gave Liam a Bible Stories book that he just loves and we read it almost every night before bedtime because each page is full of bright colors and textures that feel amazing in those little fingers.

And I cannot believe that I am about to say this, but we also have two beautiful pearly whites! Those come with the constant urge to put anything and everything in his mouth, but he is doing suprising well with teething. No screaming. No fever. Just lots of frozen toys!

We tasted a little bit of fame and posed for a Caden Lane catalog shoot...

And dipped our toes into something truly special - the pool!

It is hard to believe that another month passed by so quickly and even though we did not have a check up this month, we did a little measuring of our own. Liam is 17 1/2 pounds and almost 27 inches! Sleep you ask? 8:30 to 7:00 baby! And as for the poop update? We are pooping daily! Nothing a little applesauce, peas, carrots and sweet potatos wouldn't fix!

Six months or bust!
