Liam Likes to Eat, Eat, Eat…

Liam started eating solids,  and he LOVE’s to eat.  Here’s what he’s tried.

Rice Cereal: He seemed pretty nervous to try it.

If it looks like he is choking it’s because he is, but don’t worry he wasn’t in danger.  He liked to choke himself the first week he ate cereal.  He now loves eating rice cereal. 

  

               Carrots                                                                  Sweet Potatoes                                                                              

 

               Squash                                                                       Green Beans

 

                            Peas                                                                    Pears

                   Bananas                                                           Saltine Crackers

Every time we would try a new food we would prepare ourselves, both of us huddling around him and camera ready.  Except for the rice he never really pulled a face or hated anything he tried.  He ate it all and loved it.  I’m crossing my fingers that it will last for every new food he tries.

Second Year in Review

Two years have flown by, and I mean that in a good way.  Here is a quick review of year two of marriage.

• Bought a house
• Jamon went to Australia, which equals the longest we’ve spent apart.
• Had a baby
• Staci Retired
• Went to Hawaii (Staci’s first time).
• Jamon lost his job (don’t worry year 3 so far has treated us well).
• Staci spent first Christmas away from home.
• Jamon has had 4 callings, Staci 3.

I save all my mushy lines just for Jamon, so insert your own mushy stuff here.  Well you can all know that I love Jamon, cause I do.

Six and Seven

Have I been a slacker?  Yes. 

Because of a trip to Florida Liam’s 6 month appointment was delayed for a few weeks and I wanted to wait to have his stats before I posted.

6 month old Liam   

Liam’s 6 and 7 month old stats (more like 6 1/2 month stats):

• Weight: 15 lbs 14 oz (10th percentile)
• Height: 26 1/2 inches (50th percentile)
• Started eating solids and loves all food (future post about this).
• Sits up all the time
• Can finally roll over both ways, but prefers to sit up.
• Thinks he’s pretty cool when he stands up (with the help, of course).
• No longer has a clogged tear duct.
• Went on second plane ride.
• Played in snow for the first time.
• Some how turns sideways in bed then cries so I will come put him back under the covers.
• Loves snacking on: fingers, pretzels, and crackers.
• Buzzes his lips, with much slobber, all the time.
• Bath time is still his favorite time. He tried to turn sideways and ended up swallowing water (funny).
• Ticklish pretty much everywhere.
• Likes being held upside down.
• Loves using his voice whenever possible and makes all kinds of sound.
