Liam has been a pretty happy baby this week. He's at the age now that he wants to be entertained, or he gets bored. One day I needed to get some work done around the house, so I put the Jungle Book in and he enjoyed watching it (well most of it anyway). We have been getting him some new toys to help entertain him, and teach him new motor skills. He really likes the cookie jar toy that has different shapes, and sings about the different shapes and numbers. He now remembers he can roll in both directions, and will now do several in a row to get to where he wants to be. He can lift his mid-section off the floor with his legs, so we think he will be crawling fairly soon! He tried 2 new foods this week, the first was sweet potatoes, and he really liked those. The second one was pears, and he wasn't too fond of that one, he gaged and made funny faces. We'll keep trying on that one! He smiles and laughs all the time now, especially when we sing to him or make funny faces or sounds. He had his 6 month check up today and he is a big boy at 18 lbs. 6 oz. which makes him just above the 50th percentile for weight, he's 27.5 inches (about 75th percentile), and his head is in the 76 percentile! Dr. says he's doing great, and luckily so far has only seen him on on his well-baby check ups! Liam has opened our hearts in ways we never knew imaginable, and we are grateful every day to have him as our son.
