Whoa, it's been too long

Oh dear, I've neglected the blog. Well, I'm back on the wagon, and hopefully I'll continue to update more regularly.

Here are some 7 1/2 month stats for Mr. Bubba:

Tooth count: 2
Height: 30 inches
Weight: unknown, but guessing about 18-19 lbs.
Talents: can crawl (WHAT??!?!), sit well, pull up, and pick up small objects
Eating: everything!! Loves banana, sweet potatoes, applesauce, peas. He also enjoys bbq chicken, chicken noodle soup, chili, and pretty much anything mommy gives him off her plate.

Liam has figured out how to pull up in his crib from a hands and knees position and stand in there until we come get him. I'm so thankful he's not strong enough/tall enough to pull himself over his crib rails... because I think he would if he could!

Pictures to come, but right now Liam's whining in his crib because he wants his momma!

Happy half birthday!

6 months old!! Where did the last half of a year go??!? Seriously.

We go to Dr. B for Liam's checkup on Friday, so we'll get the stats then. He can officially roll over both ways, sit up on his own (at least for a little bit), Gets on his hands and knees, and LOVES bath time now- he learned that he can splash REALLY BIG!

The past week or two Liam has learned the hard way that mommy and daddy are no longer going to rock him to sleep every time he needs to go to bed or take a nap. Lots of screaming at first, but now Liam rarely screams for more than a minute, and usually passes out within 10 minutes of us putting him down. We're getting there. And this momma realizes that she should have done this a loooooooooooooong time ago.

Now our bubba likes to sleep on his tummy. He gets mad if we put him in his crib any other way. And he will let you know that he's NOT happy that HE has to roll over to the correct position!

I think that's about it for now... how about some cute Liam pictures?

Holiday Mania!

Well, it's finally over. Ahhhhhhh. So happy that the hectic present buying, traveling, multi-Christmas celebration is done. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas. It's just exhausting! Here are a few things that made it considerably more exhausting this year:

1. a 5 month old. Enough said.
2. both Daddy and I came down with a cold. While traveling to Katy to visit his parents. With a 5 month old.
3. a 5 month old.



Haha. Anyway, we did have a lot of fun, and SO HAPPY that Daddy was able to have a solid 2 weeks off work to play and hang out with Bubba and me! I was very sad to say goodbye to him on his first day back at work, but I knew it was coming eventually.



Liam has started to do major push ups that indicate he's getting ready to crawl... getting those knees under him is the tricky part. He's getting close though! He's also doing very well sitting up by himself- a little wobbly, but in time that will get better. Right now he's in love with the stackable cups Aunt Camei and Uncle Matt got for him for Christmas.



His giggles are infectious, and he laughs so hard when I tickle his tummy! Last night Daddy and I were hanging with him on our bed, and I flipped the pages of my book really fast close to Bubba's face: he thought it was THE funniest thing ever. Easily entertained :) If he could only stay that way...

Last time we checked, Liam was 17 pounds. No telling how long he is. But he's now fitting into 9 month clothing comfortably. And he's not even 6 months!
