8 months

Our little Liam Pants is such a sweet, happy boy! People are always commenting to me how smiley and friendly he is. And that he has red hair; I'm not convinced that he actually does - it just sometimes looks red in the sun because he is transitioning to blonde. But we all agree he is adorable and a total flirt :)


He is an army crawler, and he is fast! I used to tell him "come on" when I went to the next room and was able to get something done before he got there. But now I turn around and he's right behind me!

Last month I was feeding him lunch and dropped a piece of sandwich on his tray. He just picked it right up and put it in his mouth, no problem! I was like "Hey, when did you learn to do that!?" I think I need to stop babying him and realize he's growing fast :(
Liam loves food! The only things we haven't given him so far are honey and milk, and there's nothing he doesn't like. He still has just two teeth, but is great at chewing things up.


He loves books and drums. And, of course, drumming on his books! He laughs every time I let him hold my phone, and he'll happily play forever with remote controls, calculators, and old phones.

Most of the time, he is so easy to get to sleep now! We just give him his binky, lay him down, and he goes right to sleep. Of course he will occasionally fight it, but I'm so grateful for good sleepers!

We've always spelled Jenna's name to the tune of the Jello Jingle (Ya know, J-E-L-L-O It's alive!) so I told Paul to think of a 4-letter jingle so we could sing Liam's as well. The only one he could think of was YMCA, so I've been singing LIAM to that tune a lot lately!

An excellent shopping buddy!

He loves to be upside-down!


LOVE watching these two play together!

Jenna's friend had a mermaid / pirate themed party. Can you see his earring?!

Liam is so precious! I just want to just kiss his cheeks!
