Liam-10 months

Firsts:

-crawling

-boating day

-swimming in a pool

Sizes: 9-12 months

Feeding: We have really been trying to give Liam more solids this month since we will have to give up the bottle soon. I must say, I think that is going to be very difficult! The guy loves his bottle. Foods he's eating now are oatmeal, millet, sweet potatoes, avocado, squash, banana, berries, yogurt, cheese, cheerios!, lentils, black and white beans, broccoli, mango, asparagus, peas, smoothies, spinach, kale, and flax. We're trying to get 3 meals a day in him. I bought some reusable squeeze packs and he's loving those lately with my purees in them.

At the zoo for the Preemie Reunion for our hospital- so fun!

Schedule: Liam usually wakes up at 7-8am and has a bottle. He plays for about 1:30-2 hours then goes down for a nap. He sleeps 45 minutes. Then he eats his oatmeal and beans and greens. Yum, right? We run any errands or meet people during this time. Next nap is at about 2. He'll sometimes sleep longer than 45 minutes but not usually. He go on a walk a lot of afternoons or swing or read books. We sit on the porch lots as Liam loves to be outside. If he's ever upset, all we have to do is go outside and he is happy. Sometimes he'll take a quick snooze at 4-5 if he's totally exhausted. Liam has a bath every night, which he loves, then goes to sleep about 8. Then we do it all over again...

Like Mommy: He can raise one eyebrow

Like Daddy: Adam says he likes to play rough. He giggles if thrown in the air or falls quickly. Daddy thinks he's going to be a daredevil.

Mommy's Favorite: When Liam grabs around my neck and hugs me when I get him up

Daddy's Favorite: Adam loves Liam crawling around chasing us or Colby

Biggest Achievement: Crawling. And just like that, he is into everything! We have had to do some major baby proofing this month. It's pretty funny looking in his nursery and seeing him standing in his crib.

Biggest Challenge: Adjusting to a mobile baby! I love that he's in motion but it is requiring some major baby proofing. 

At the risk of sounding redundant, holy cow they grow up quickly. Babies truly don't keep! My baby is getting big so fast. He is a joy to watch grow and learn new things. I love him more that I ever thought imaginable.
