5 months!

Liam is five months old today. I thought he might celebrate by sleeping through the night... that was just wishful thinking! We don't have another doctor appointment so I don't know his official stats. But unofficially, he is huge! It looks so funny when Reagan tries to hold him because he seems almost as big as her. He will definitely surpass her in size soon. Much like my little brother did to me.

Some random Liam factoids at 5 months old:

- Liam loves his feet. When he lays on his back, he always has his feet up by his face. He usually takes his socks off all by himself. But if he doesn't get them off, thats ok, he just chews on the socks too. Seriously, the boy is obsessed. He will be so excited when the weather warms up and he doesn't have to wear socks. He has never experienced sock-free living since he arrived right before the cold weather came.

- Liam loves things with buttons. In particular, the remote control. He lunges out of your arms to grab it. We let him examine in for a short while, but as you can imagine, he wants to taste it.

- Liam is super ticklish! He cracks up laughing and squirms away in delight. So of course, he gets tickled on a regular basis.

- Liam is hungry ALL. THE. TIME. He eats cereal (rice or oatmeal) twice a day. He still nurses every 2 hours. Thankfully, he doesn't wake up around the clock, but during the day he definitely doesn't go more than 2-2 1/2 hours without eating. There is no way we are waiting until 6 months to start fruits and veggies. He is so interested in what we are eating. He is always grabbing stuff from our plates and loves if you will share a drink with him (we only share water).

-If you give Liam a bath, you will get wet! He is a kicker and a splasher.

- We have entered the "where did my mommy go" phase. If I put him down and leave the room, there will be tears. When I come back in, the tears are gone. Definitely a momma's boy.

-Liam hates pacis, sitting in his carseat too long, sudden loud noises, being hungry, being tired, stopping at stop lights/signs while driving, and sleeping in his crib. He is getting used to the idea of a drinking a bottle, finally, thank goodness.

He is a special little guy. I am proud to be his mommy and we love him more every day.
