4 months

Liam actually turned 4 months old while we were in Chelan; but, with all the fun we were having I'm just now getting around to posting about it.  I took pictures with his 4 month onesie in Bremerton, so I'll post a few of those.  After we got home I decided to take some here in his green chair too so the comparison is the same as prior months.  I know I say this every month, but he's SO BIG!  At night sometimes when he's eating I just look at him and think 'please slow down'.  Don't get me wrong, I love to see all the new developments and milestones, I just want to enjoy him as a baby for as long as possible

Current Stats:  Liam is 17.4 pounds, 25.5inches and has a 16.9inch head.  That puts him at 65th percentile for height and 83rd percentile for weight according to the WHO breastfed baby boy charts.  Again Dr Daley said, 'he is officially bigger than my 10 month old' and this breastfeeding mama was proud!  We have no intention of starting him on solids until he's able to feed it to himself.  He does show interest in our food and I have put out utensils for him to play with when we eat (which he occassionally tried to impale his palate with) but we're not even close to him eating solids yet.
Clothing sizes: Onesies are 3-6m with the extender or 6m without, outfits are 6m or 6-12m pretty consistantly in all brands.

He got his second round of vaccines today and cried when he was poked but was my happy baby within 30 seconds of being picked up.
As always we have the previous pictures so you can remember just how far he's come:

18 weeks

The second half of our trip to Washington was just as great as the first.  Liam met even more people, including his GGma (Great Grandma Jensen) GGpa (Great Grandpa Jensen) and Papa (Great Grandpa Garguile), Kiwi, Rodney, Kristy, Jessica, Londynn, Debbie, Erynn, Lori, Zack and Alecia, Beau, Gianna, Bryan, Melinda, Al, Steve, Kylea, Kassidy and Karlea. 

He had his first dinner at Tony's and celebrated Hailee's 5th birthday

In respect to developments, Liam is so much better at grabbing things.  He especially likes faces and hair and goes at them with both hands. He's ridiculously interested in Eclair and loves watching other children. He's still tackling rolling from tummy to back and is getting better but is still nothing like the ease with which he rolls from back to tummy. My favorite is probably the belly laughs.  They come often now since little man is such a happy baby!


Chelan consisted of sunsets, swimming, speed scrabble, cards and paddle boarding.



How could I have forgotten eating!!!
Bath time with Hailee was fun and WET
This little girl is such an angel.  She's growing up so fast, 5! seriously girl I remember when we were staring at you through the glass.  I think there are some STUNNING shots of her below...what do you think?

I got caught playing with her new toy :)
The following morning, waffles were delish.  Unfortunately I spilled a little...on Liam's head!
We checked out Cindy and John's new place all decorated and the headed over to the fountain park to enjoy the perfect weather.

Then rounded out the day with a ridicoulsly large meal at Tony's, party of 30!
