Rollin rollin rollin...

November 16th. Good day to roll, wouldn't you say? Well, Liam thought so! Playing on his playmat on his back, he decided to lift his legs up to his hands, grab his toes, and roll to his side. He looked at a toy that was in his line of sight, and thought, "I can grab that!". So he rolled the rest of the way over! I praised him, and he giggled, then rolled back to his back. Hooray! Way to go, Liam.

In other news, Liam had his 4 month checkup at the doctor yesterday with Dr. B. He now weighs a whopping 15 1/2 pounds, and is an amazingly tall 26 1/4 inches long! He's as tall as an average 6 month old. He also got praises for his development, and we got the go ahead to start him on rice cereal.

We started said cereal this morning, and it did not go as planned... he spit out most of it, and after about 5-10 minutes of introducing it to him, he'd had enough. I can't blame the little guy- he's had a rough few days (got shots at the doc, and wasn't pleased).

The bonus for this week is that daddy is taking tomorrow off, so Mr. Liam has 5 days of playtime with him!! Woohoo! We're going to have a wonderful time hosting Thanksgiving this year at our house with family. :) Liam's first Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it.

Playdate!

Liam and I had our first official playdate with 4 other sweet moms and their kiddos. Liam was amazed by the other little people around him, and tired himself out watching them play and trying to communicate with them :)

I am so blessed to have other moms that can relate to me. I have been longing for such a relationship, and I've found it! And to see their kids and what Liam will be in 10 months, 16 months... it is so fun!

Liam has been bridging when on his back, letting me know that he's practicing to roll over from back to front. And he almost rolled from his stomach to his back last night! Daddy was home playing with him while I went to run an errand. When I came back, I got to hear the story about Liam's almost first roll- so cool. Daddy helped him all the way over, and Liam gave him an expression that said, "did I just do that?!?".

I wonder what the weekend will bring?...
