Our Big Boy- Well Average Size



Liam didn't know what to think about the snow- he wanted to grab it but didn't like that it was so cold.

Liam on his way home from the doctor. I was extra worried about him getting shots today since he is so much more aware and stronger, but he actually hardly cried at all, when he got his blood drawn. Turns out he took his band-aid off without me knowing and got blood everywhere.



One of Liam's favorite new things to do is "run" from us. meaning crawl away from us super fast on our bed, so it's difficult to get him to stay still for a picture these days.


Mom no more snuggling- let me play! :)

He is such a big helper with the laundry.

Favorite thing right now is to get all of his books out of his basket and read them.
Such a relief to hear at Liam's 9 month check up today that his weight is finally 50th percentile. That is pretty much what I have been waiting to hear since he was four pounds. We were not surprised he has gained so much as he has been eating so much! Acting like he is starving at every meal. Most babies grow extremely fast from 1-2 months and then again from 6-12 months.

His stats were:
20 pounds 2 ounces (50th percentile)
30 inches (80th percentile)
The doctor saw how Liam was moving around and told me he would be walking soon! Whew I better get ready for that, crawling is already wearing me out.
