Liam ~ 7 Months

Liam is 7 months old!  

New things ~

Rolling all over the place ~

He has become quite the pro at rolling back to belly and belly to back.  He is rolling all over the place and getting into anything that is in front of him.  He loves Grayson's toys, but Grayson is still learning how to share with his little brother.   

Spending more time on his belly  ~

He is spending a lot more time on his belly (finally), especially when we put a bunch of toys in front of him.  He still does not like to be alone and will let you know it by fussing.  

Almost sitting ~

He is almost sitting by himself and is getting better every day.  We put the boppy pillow behind him and this helps keep him steady.  We will also let him try by himself and sit right behind him to catch him when he tips over.  

Getting his 1st tooth ~

I felt a bump on his bottom left side on March 14th.  He chews on everything he can get in his mouth.  Hopefully this tooth will pop through soon.  

Eating solid foods ~

He is doing better with eating food, although he still does not love it.  We added two new meals in the last month so he is eating a total of 3 meals a day.  The doctor told us to add yogurt since he is not doing well with regular baby food.  He seems to like yogurt.  We have tried vanilla, pear and apple.  We also tried fresh strawberries and frozen blueberries cut up in very small pieces and he loved it.  We hope he is turning a corner with eating solid and baby food.  

Found his feet ~

Liam found his feet on February 20th.  He started playing with them and soon started putting them in his mouth.  It's so cute to see him do this.

First time at the ocean and pool

We went to South Beach Miami for a family vacation and to visit our friends Holly, David and their new baby Ariel.  Liam went to the beach and the pool for the first time.  He actually had his first trip to Mexico when he was just 8 weeks old, but he spent all of his time sleeping in the hotel room.  While we were at the beach Liam did not actually get in the sand, but he had fun watching big brother Grayson.  We rented a cabana so Liam and I hung out there most of the time.  I took Liam in the pool and he was unsure at first, but seemed to warm up after a little while.  

Head Shape ~

His head shape is changing a lot because of his helmet.  We go to the doctor April 12th for a new scan and we can't wait to see his progress.  The orthotist said he had quite a growth spurt and was really pleased with the progress he's made.  

First time in the double stroller ~

The boys had fun taking their first walk in the double stroller.  Oma was with us so it made it extra special.
