Teething Woes

It seems like Liam has been trying to pop that first tooth through for months now! We are anxiously awaiting its arrival. Until then, let Liam tell you what it's been like:

Babbling

Liam is definitely making a lot of new sounds and we just love it! Here he is telling me a story!

Break out the Whiskey!

Liam is definitely in full teething mode! Since we are Irish, we used the best teething medicine we knew, a little whiskey on his gums. And if we had doubts that this baby has a little leprechaun in him, check out his grin after tasting it!

New Game

The other day we started a new game. He's a little tired from his bath in this video, but he loves the new "pop up/pop down" game. He giggles the whole time! He also uses his big leg muscles to pop up! SO CUTE!

Apple juice and oatmeal

We decided to TRY mixing his oatmeal with apple juice, but I wasn't exactly thinking. I should have probably tried to mix it with another liquid first, because Liam did not like the strong flavor of the baby apple juice! So now he gets a splash of apple juice in his oatmeal instead of full strength!

Liam is a Rolling FOOL!

Last week Liam starting being able to roll from front to back and then back to front. He was able to roll over 7.5 times in a row!

Liam is 5 months old!

Tom said that Liam's "month old" photos are showing perspective on how tall he is getting. I think they are...see for yourself!

Trying to Walk?

He isn't showing signs of crawling, but he definitely gets those legs moving for walking!

New Babysitters

We left Liam with his Godmother Jen and her hubby Brian so that Tom and I could go and see Avatar on Valentine's Day. He did fine! WHEW! Anyway, Brian and Jen used our Flip Cam while we were gone and this is what they got.

P.S. This new binky chewing is one of the reasons we think he is teething.

Mr. Chatterbox

I hope Liam wants to talk this much when he's 13 years old and sitting at the dinner table with us.

Liam's Cough

Liam has a bit of a cough. I called the doc and they think it's most likely because of teething! EEK! Regardless, he even coughs cutely!

My Valentine...and the next Bachelor

Every Monday night Liam and I are banished to the bedroom to watch The Bachelor. I have begun to sing "On the Wings of Love" to him all the time because of it! So I think Liam is ready to audition for The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love 2 premiering in 2035!

Playing In His Crib

He had so much fun rolling around and watching his Around The World Soother in his crib today. I think you can hear him "say" Layla too!

Cover Your EARS!

Liam has FOUND HIS VOICE! He is constantly talking or doing his new "squealing" all night long. It's funny but also very high and squeaky!

He's a GENIUS!

Liam finally rolled over from his back to his front! The boy is so smart and athletic...just like his mama.... :)

Jumping on his Jumperoo

He is definitely getting the hang on his jumperoo and bouncing much more in it!

New Blog up and running

I have been religious about posting pictures and videos of Liam on Facebook, but many of our family and friends are not on it, so Tom wanted me to make a new blog with Liam's videos. For those of you that haven't seen any of his videos yet, below are some of the highlights from December through now. Most likely, there will be at least 1 new video each week if I can keep up.
Check back regularly to see our wonderful baby's progression and CUTENESS!

Liam Rolled Over

This is the 5th time Liam rolled over (out of 6 times so far)

Rice Cereal with Milk #2

We then tried giving Liam rice cereal mixed with milk...he liked it better but still not loving it.

Rice Cereal with Water #1

We first tried rice cereal with water, but Liam quickly showed his dislike. Check it out!

New Noises

Liam has all these new sounds and noises that he does. He is also learning how to do rasberries, which just makes me giggle!

(I'm trying to egg him on to do more in the background)

Mama's Little Showoff

He loves when the camera is on him...what can I say?

Liam and Layla

All of a sudden Liam has discovered Layla. He thinks she is funny all the time!

Jungle Jumperoo

Although he is still a little small, Liam is loving his Jungle Jumperoo!

Liam's Red Car

Liam cannot honk the horn with his arms yet, so he has begun to use his head! Tom and I think this is the cutest and funniest thing ever!

Liam is a Happy Boy

I am so lucky to have such a happy boy!

Liam's First Word?

I have heard him "talk" a few times before this...see what you think?

I'm Not THAT Funny!

Liam is sitting in a special seat by the company BebePod. So I just kept saying that over and over again and he just cracked up!

Tummy Time

Doesn't he make the cutest faces??

December Videos of Liam

Liam really started showing his personality in December. He got a fun new toy - The Sea Spin and started dancing like a Little Leprechaun
