8 teeth, 8 months

I need to amend my post from two days ago. Upon inspection last night we discovered that Liam now has 8 teeth! No wonder he tried shoving anything and everything in his mouth yesterday. Overall though he has handled teething like a champ. Let's just hope for easy molars!

what they're up to now....

I'm on a roll...two posts in one day!! It's embarrassing how bad I am at this blogging thing. Seeing as it's been 2 months since my last update, I figured I either needed to post or just give it up. So thanks if you're still checking in on us:)

Miles loves playing in his room while listening to music. He is quite the puzzle lover now....he's graduated from 12 piece puzzles to doing 24 and 36 pieces by himself and a new 48 piece with just a little help. I think Crystal and I are going to have to arrange a puzzle swap in the near future! I'll admit his idea of fun is a little different from what you may expect. This is what I found this morning......
If you look closely you can see that he placed each of his fruits and vegetables on the corresponding letters on his rug. And yes, his matching game cards could be arranged more perfectly. I have no idea who he gets this from!

Liam is still the world's easiest and happiest baby! At 8 months he is not crawling, but rolls all around the room to get whatever he wants. Hence the fact that Miles has to do his puzzles in his room! He is just recently starting to love books, especially Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Goodnight Moon. He loves puffs and cheerios and just about every kind of baby food he's tried. He is sleeping about 9-10 hours straight at night which I won't complain about! He still adores Miles, which is a good thing because I imagine that will change someday:)

Check out those teeth! He now has 6.

Is this not the sweetest picture?

sesame street live!

So I doubt there any readers still out there, but I'll post anyway:) This weekend we took the boys to Sesame Street Live at the War Memorial Auditorium in Greensboro. We all enjoyed it! Miles sat in one of our laps the whole time just because he couldn't see over the seats in front. It was a 90 minute show with one intermission and he stayed still and quiet the entire time. Liam is a big Elmo fan so he enjoyed it too, but probably not as much as looking over my shoulder at the people behind us. We weren't lucky to make it the entire show with out incident however. Liam gagged on a toy and threw up all over Justin about 10 minutes into the performance. It was extremely loud at times, way too loud for kids in my opinion, but miraculously he fell asleep for half of the show. We managed to leave with only one souvenir, a cd of the performance which we've already listened to about 10 times too many. Miles just had to get over the idea of having a $10 Elmo balloon! All-in-all it was a great experience and definitely worth the price of admission!

Yes, Justin was trying to cover his ears with the blanket!
