A day at the park

Geoff, Liam, and I picniced at Burke Lake Park last Saturday. We had so much fun being outdoors!

3rd time's the charm?

As promised...

Geoff with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama (Insert Caddyshack references here) -that was Geoff's favorite part.. Goonga la Goonga

6 months old!

Liam hanging out on the back deck for the first time.

Geoff and I cannot believe Liam is 6 months old already. Time has flown, and we don't remember what life was like before he joined our family. He is such a joy to be around--he wakes up with a smile on his face every morning, and he usually has some sort of note at the bottom of his daily daycare report about what a happy, friendly boy he is. We are truly blessed.

Today at the doc, a cute moment occurred that even made the doctor laugh with amazement. While he had Liam in his arms listening to his heartbeat, Liam saw me in the mirror on the wall. He did a double take--looking from me standing next to him, to me in the mirror, and back again. The Doc provided Liam's inner monologue by stating, "Whoa, there're two mommies!"

Here are his 6 month stats (as of today's doc. appt.):

Height: 28 inches (95%)

Weight: 17 pounds, 8 ounces (50%)

And his are his newest developments:

rolling over from back to front

looking for dropped objects

eating baby food--sweet potatoes are his fave, carrots not so much

fake coughing to get mom and dad's attention

sitting briefly unsupported

showing distinct dislike for confining clothes and straps

LOTS of babbling--b sounds, blowing raspberries

reaching for objects out of reach

Liam is looking forward to his first visit to Alabama in less than two weeks! Mims, Grandfather, and the whole Glenn and Watson gang will be putty in his little hands!

Liam found his feet...

and they taste great!
