Big Boy

One thing is for sure and that is Liam is growing up really fast! One thing he has done is rollover! He has only done it twice from tummy to back - but he has done it once for mom and once for dad. Most recently for dad, I was in the kitchen when I heard a little thud and a cheer from Mike. I ran in to find Liam on his back with all fours in the air and a very surprised look on his face. He has also starting to eat like a big boy - he likes both squash and cereal mixed together. He is able to sit up on his own - always supervised but all by himself. He likes it so much that he thinks he should sit up all the time, even in his bathtub and in his bouncy seat. (Mo's Flickr has pics)


Night times have gotten a bit better the last couple nights. I've gotten up twice instead of four times! He has other sleep improvements but I don't want to jinx it so I will stay quiet for now!

A bite to eat

Many of you have probably already seen the video on YouTube, if you haven't check it out at www.youtube.com/user/growinguplancaster , but Liam is starting to really enjoy eating cereal. Soon we will be moving onto more exciting foods like squash but for now he is content.

Another big thing that we are working on is sleep (his and ours!). For a couple weeks he did not want to sleep during naps or the night. So we went from having an angelic baby who slept 9-11 hours each night to a cranky creature who woke every 90 minutes at night and would scream if you got him near his crib during the day. It did not make it a great work environment for dad!

So we diligently read over a book some friends gave us, Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child, and we made some changes to when and how Liam goes down for naps and nighttime. There were quite a few tears shed by all but they are decreasing. Not to jinx us, but today we have had two naps and no crying!

I got a great new phone and so I have been posting more videos and photos, so even if there isn't a new post be sure to check out the links to Flickr and Youtube!
