Liam 6 months old

I cannot believe that I have a 6 month old. Really where did the time go? Six months is the beginning of my absolute favorite baby stage. Liam really is the sweetest little baby & I'm so glad that we were blessed to have him in our lives. He is just getting bigger & bigger every day. He had his doctor's appointment & everything looks great with our little man. Here are his stats: 
Weight: 16 lbs 11 oz (42%)
Height: 26 inches (43%)
BMI: 17.4
 
Just look at that face. Doesn't it just melt your heart? Well it does mine that's for sure.
Some things about Liam are:
*He LOVES rolling to his tummy. The minute you place him on his back he rolls over.
* He is getting pretty good at sitting up by himself. Not for very long though.
* He likes to play with his toes.
* He puts everything into his mouth.
* He is a drooling machine. I think he'll get his first tooth soon, but who knows.
* He still spits up, but nearly as much as before.
* He is getting the longest eye lashes. No fair!
* He loves to talk & make noises.
* When he wants to be heard...he's heard! This kid has a set of pipes when he wants to use them.
* He could sit & watch Gavin ALL day long. He loves his big brother.
* He still take 3 naps a day. (2 long & 1 catnap)
* Sleeps from 7:30pm-7:00am.
* Is hating the car a little less these days. Praise the heavens!
* He likes to stand up a lot.
* Loves to eat his rice cereal
* Holds his own bottle with quite the death grip too. So funny!
* Gives the most adorable shy grin ever.
* Is starting to have a little stranger danger. 
* Loves men. Gavin was the same. He will be crying being held by a woman, but as soon as a guy takes him he will stop. So weird. Gavin was the same.
* Smiles a lot!

Here he is eating rice cereal for the first time. He did great & gobbled it all up!

Just wanted you to know that I looked at previous posts also. I've been so busy scanning all my 40 photo albums that I have neglected to check out blogs. All are so cute. Easter pics to Gavin getting "highlights" just like Doug to swimming, etc. Thanks for always keeping us up on your family. It means the world to me!!
Love ya.
