31 weeks

For as busy as we've been I don't feel like we got too much done this last week, guess that's what happens when you have a little Liam crawling around ;)

Foods he's eating:

white nectarine
strawberries
avocado
broccoli
banana
pear
apple
sweet potato
watermelon
squash
crenshaw melon
cucumber
butternut squash

cantaloupe
sugar snap peas
edemame

Firsts:

First contact dermatitis, at least I think that's what it was because he certainly didn't hit his eye on anything.

First time brushing his tooth! He has one right now and is working on the second as we speak. He LOVES the baby toothbrush but has yet to taste any toothpaste since I guess I never got any baby stuff, ie without fluoride so it's ok to swallow, before he was born. I'll work on that this week.

Here's what we did in pictures this week:
babywearing, moby style.  We still love the moby most for front carry but we use the ergo for back carries

 Teething is easier with the vibrating blueberry

 What Liam does all day while I play with pregnant ladies, thanks Brooke!

 A playdate with the Heinrich girls

 This was such a lovely place to take pictures, except Liam was eating everything in site and wouldn't sit still.  We resorted to this!  Please note Miss Elsie Jo just sitting patiently while we corral him

 A second birthday party for Preston, or people/baby watching for Liam

7 months

So I'm late with this post but I truly thought today was the 23rd!  When I was getting all my ads and coupons together I slid over the the time to check the date and went WHAT!  It can't be the 24th, it's the 23rd...but Nope, I missed it by a day.  In my defense I asked Dominic what day it was and he thought it was the 23rd too :) 

What's new since our last post??? a TOOTH!  Liam got his first one, the bottom right incisior, on Tuesday the 19th.  I think the left will follow shortly.  Certainly this is going to make eating a much easier experience. 

On the topic of eating. we're still sticking with the baby led weaning method and just started giving him a sippy cup with his food this weekend.  We've tried the sippy a few other times but he didn't quite get the hang of it.  We've gotten the take n toss on a suggestion that they are easier to get the water out and therefore he can grasp the whole drinking from a cup concept a bit quicker than having to stumble upon the fact that sucking gets him a drink.  Guess we'll see if it works.

I was completely unsucessful at getting a chair shot of Liam...I'll try again tomorrow but here are the outakes, after the reminder shots:

The single decent picture from our second 7 month shoot

here's the outtakes from our attempted 'session' this last weekend...epic fail!  This boy is way too mobile for low light and no flash

We're getting ready for the holiday around here and it was a call weekend so not too much to update

Foods he's eating:


white nectarine
strawberries
avocado
broccoli
banana
pear
apple
sweet potato
watermelon
squash
crenshaw melon
cucumber
butternut squash

Because of call we stuck close to home and did more fall/pumpkin/halloween related activities.  Mainly this means another stop at a local pumpkin patch, Dutch Hollow Farm.  We didn't purchase any pumpkins but took a bunch of pictures and enjoyed people watching!

Dominic and I did Liam's baptism prep class this week and it looks like we're on track for a Thanksgiving Baptism up in Washington!
