21 weeks

Liam turns the big 21 today, only it's weeks and not years...thank goodness.  I would be having a heart attack if my baby was growing up that fast!.  No real fun trips this week, we laid low in anticipation of a few busy weekends ahead, but we did get to see Theresa, Elsie Jo, Felicity and Ruby.  Liam and Elsie just sat/laid and watched each other.  They reached out a few times but that was the extent of the interaction for now.  Since the weather was so nice we even took a dip in their pool, Liam's only time since Chelan, and he did WONDERFUL.  I think this kid is a fish.  He just floated in their baby blow up net thing like the one we had up in WA and enjoyed the cool splashes and Felicity's swimming talents.

Liam is continuing to surprise us all with his movement and has had a few firsts this week
1. He is now pulling up to hands and knees and then propelling himself forward, a new upgraded version of the worm
2. He sat in his highchair for the first time, at home, like a big boy.  If you remember he used a highchair at grandma's during a few meals but this was his first time here.
3. Had his first real bath in the tub by himself.  I have been refusing to upgrade him just so I didn't have to sit on the floor, we've been using the tummy tub and puj tub in the sink, until last night when he went into the real tub by himself.  He did seem to enjoy all the toys and being able to splash a little so it looks like I need to bite the bullet and get one of those tub toy corral things so his toys can dry out.
4. First time sucking his thumb.  He's been sucking on his hands and fingers for quite a while, but I looked over the other day and he had just his thumb in there!

New people:
Liam met Ryan this week!  He was in Cali for a quick work thing and was able to make it down to our place for a quick dinner.  Liam seemed to L-O-V-E him!

Some pictures:
My belly shot from this week...NO, I'm not pregnant.  I figured I would update my progress since I'm just past the 20 week mark which is half a pregnancy.  Not too shabby huh?  I'm really not doing anything in particular to get here or maintain

 Do you see the thumb, busted Liam

 He's sayin, Yeah, I'm cool in my highchair at the adult table

 My little fishy

 Checking out Ryan

 Cheesin' for the camera

Liam just loved hanging out with Elsie Jo.  Unfortunately, he wore pore Elsie out and she slept most of the time...Sometimes I wish Liam would take lessons from Elsie on sleeping

Thought it might be nice to have a video so you can see his progress toward crawling...yes CRAWLING!
