Liam is 27 Weeks

Liam has been a lot more social and more interested in things around him and will try to reach for stuff that is beyond his reach.  If he can’t get it, he lets us know that he’s not happy about it.  He has also been more vocal, and has started to communicate with screaming lately.  He rolls onto his tummy a lot, and sometimes he’s happy about that, but sometimes he gets mad about it, but he still doesn’t remember that he can roll himself back.  This new development presents a problem when he’s trying to sleep and rolls over and decides he really didn’t want to be on his belly.  He will cry and we will roll him back, then he will roll again onto his belly.  Thankfully he has found a comfortable sleeping position on his belly and will sleep that way sometimes.  We started giving him rice cereal a couple weeks ago, and have been practicing eating a few times a week.  It has been a bit tricky to know when is a good time for him to want to eat.  He has to be in the right mood, and just the right amount of hungry. If he’s too hungry, he will get frustrated and won’t eat, if he’s not hungry enough he won’t eat.  The dogs also create a distraction for him because they mill around waiting for him to drop some food.  It seems like they are more interesting to him than eating.  Although, we know with time and practice, and a little patience it will get easier.  And we look forward to introducing him to all the new foods out there!  On Saturday we went to our sis-in-law’s family’s house and took pictures with their photography equipment.  He was really cute and held up surprisingly well considering the amount of time it took.  We got them done just in time before his teeth started hurting him again today.  It just breaks our heart to hear him in pain.  We would do anything to take that pain away for him!
