4 months

At 4 months Liam weighed 18 pounds, 2 oz. and was 26.25 inches tall. Huge, but he's actually "on" the chart now for weight! We get so many comments about how big he is and we certainly think he is too, but I looked back at Miles' 4 month stats and he was just as big.....18 pounds, 4 oz. and 27 inches. Miles is pretty much at an average height and weight now, so Liam might not turn out to be as big as everyone thinks.
He has been rolling front to back for about a month now and is so close to going back to front. He's grabbing toys and is starting to slide the beads on his hop-n-pop back and forth. He loves being on his tummy now and acts like he's trying to scoot forward. He smiles all the time and laughs when you kiss his neck or belly. He loves the song "Rum Sum Sum" and will instantly smile if he hears it on the computer or if we sing it. He really prefers Miles to sing it over anyone! He's averaging about 9 hours of sleep before needing to eat and then sleeps for 2 or 3 more hours! His favorite toys are blue puppy, Fred the monkey, Bard (the Baby Einstein dragon), and Elmo. He is becoming quite attached to me and really likes when I wear him in the sling. He's pretty much in 6-9 month clothes and is wearing size 3 diapers. Oh, and he finally takes a pacifier. I know a lot of people wouldn't be excited about that, but it's helps him fall asleep and comes in handy during middle-of-the-night wake-ups.
Of course we just adore him. It's really sweet to see his eyes light up when he sees Miles. I
think they grow more fond of each other everyday.

something new

Finally! I know I'm not doing so great keeping up with this blogging thing. If anything, I'll try to keep up with Liam's monthly milestones and Miles updates. I'm going to try to post a couple of videos that I took with our new digital camera. Hopefully that will make up for my delinquency in posting. I'll try to do some updating soon.
