Happy Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving, I got dressed up in an outfit the same color as my new favorite food. Okay, pears are still my favorite food to eat. But peas are my favorite food to play with.

We went to Grammy and PopPop's house. I was a big hit! Everybody loved playing with me. In fact, I played so much with my family that I skipped a couple naps. Oops!

Despite being super tired, I was a very good baby. I played in my exersaucer while everybody ate. I can't wait to sit at the table next year. There was some yummy looking food up there.

More Peas Please!

Peas are great! They are messy and fun. After nearly two weeks of eating rice cereal and pears, I finally figured out how to make a true mess out my food. I was inspired by the green color. I wanted to make everything green.

Eating is so much fun. I partially like to smear food onto my bib. Once the food is piled on high, I grab my bib and start to eat the food off it.

But as you can see, I also understand the concept of open up wide for the spoon.

Five Month Check-in

Liam has had an explosion of activity these past few weeks. He rolls all over the place and manages to grab hold of everything in sight. He seems to be growing in front of our eyes. Unfortunately, we don't know his exact stats.

Likes:
Pears and Rice Cereal
Playing in his exersaucer

Dislikes:
Naps on the weekends -- doesn't want to miss out on any Mommy/Daddy time
Rainy, cold weather
Colds (caught his first cold two days before his 5 month birthday)
Booger-cleaning bulbs

Let me do it:)

By my second feeding, I was ready to try to do it myself. Since everything else I can find goes right into my mouth, it was easy to get the spoon in there.

Sometimes Mommy would help direct the spoon. To be honest, I wasn't very good at keeping the rice cereal on the spoon before it got to my mouth.

The biggest problem with solid foods is that it has caused Mommy to talk a lot about my poo. Seriously, I have never seen anyone so obsessed. She's always checking to see if I dropped a load. So, I showed her what a real load could look like! It was SO disgusting. Not only did I gross Mommy out, I got an extra bath out of it!

Yummy Solid Foods

Here I am on 11/15 getting ready for my first "bite" of solid food. My two front teeth are just ready to come in. Until they do I guess I'll just have to gum my solid food.

Here comes the first bit of rice cereal. At first I didn't know what to make of it. But quickly I found it yummy and started to dive-bomb toward the spoon.


And yes, that is a creme brulee dish. That is one of Daddy's favorite desserts. Now that I have had a solid food dinner, I can't wait to try desserts!

Obama Wins!!!

This week was filled with historic events. First and foremost, Obama won the presidency. Secondly, I mastered the rollover from tummy to back. And thirdly, I was able to produce my weight in drool.

Although I was born under the reign of an idiot, I am excited to know that my youth will be spent with an enlightened president. Hooray for Obama!
