Liam Update

The L Child is getting big fast. Josh came home with this jumparoo last week. He got a bargain at a garage sale and Liam loves it! He hasn't jumped yet (even with a book underneath him), but likes "standing" up. Here are some things Little Ben has been doing:

He will be eating, hear somebody talking, stop, lift his head and look around until he finds who talked, then say something to that person. Then he goes back to eating.

He also likes to have his bottles sitting up most of the time so he can look around while he eats. When he nurses, he likes to take breaks so he can "socialize". Apparently, I have another extrovert on my hands. I'm surrounded by them in this household!

Liam laughs now - but only his Daddy and Bunny can really get him going thus far.

Liam LOVES LOVES watching Casen and having Casen play with him. That's usually when he's the happiest. He just smiles and lets Casen do whatever he wants to do - roughly snuggle with him, kiss him, or shout in his face. As long as L Child is getting attention from his big brother, he doesn't care what they do.

He watches people eat...and gives these sad puppy looks like he REALLY wants to have some of that yummy food. My policy of "no solid food this early" has truly been tested with Liam. Case wasn't interested in table food until he was close to a year old. I was never tempted to give him a bit of icecream. He was happy as a clam to just nurse for months. Not Liam. So I went ahead and tried cereal, but he hasn't taken to it yet. Could be that he's holding out for something yummier!

Finally, Liam can stand a long time and scoot on his back a bit. And I'm pretty sure he's teething - you can see the white teeth under his gums and he just chews on his hands (sometimes sucking on his fingers and thumb even).
