Liam at 5 months...
So this series of pictures really depicts you well my Little Liam.
I do not think I have ever met a happier, good natured baby! You even have your brother beat. Even when you got sick for the first time this past week you would still give us these pathetically cute little smiles and didn't complain much. 
You finally got your hands on it and decided to see what it tasted like. You have had this horrible cough and congestion for a week and a half. It was a battle to get you to take liquid of any kind from me or the bottle for almost a week. You just about made me crazy. However, your appetite returned Sunday and for that I am thankful! Your cough is still hanging around, but hopefully not for long. You love to watch your sister and brother. I sometimes have to take you to another room to feed you because you get so distracted by them or pretty much noises of any kind. You don't really roll and are content in your exersaucer or on your play mat. That is actually fine by me. I find myself not wanting you to reach milestones too fast...just in case you truly end up being the baby of the family.
I honestly am not sure how much you have grown this month. We will have to do a little informal weight check.
You do however go from 8pm to after 7 am between feedings. Now are you always asleep during that time? NO! Sometimes you will randomly have little parties in bed by yourself. Sometimes you just wake up early. However, breakfast is not served until after 7 am. So I really wish you would take a clue and sleep that long too! You always keep it a guessing game. You would think I would learn to go to bed earlier and sleep in on the front side instead of hoping for the impossible of all 3 kids sleeping later.
You gobble your oatmeal down and love it. I meant to start you with some veggies, but I am going to try and make baby food this time around. So I know that if I start buying it, I will never try to make it. So hopefully one day soon...we'll both give veggies a whirl!
You are such a sweet, sweet boy! We all love you so much! 5 months down and so many more to come!
I am making it my goal for you, Liam, to not be a pacifier snob like Nolan but also not paci obsessed like HK was. So I let you have one but I do not give it to you when you go to sleep. I keep one in the bed for desperate moments. You are also growing attached to your little giraffe lovey. It drives me crazy when I check on you and you have that giraffe over your face. That's where you like it. I take it off...5 minutes later it's back on. Nana says to put it at your feet, but then how will you develop that bond with it at your feet?

I pulled it off only to find the picture above! You had found the paci and put it in your mouth yourself! You sneaky little rascal. Just realize...if you want it you have to be able to get it...I don't play the plug the baby back up with the paci all night or all through nap!
I couldn't resist the picture!
I couldn't resist the picture!
As I get ready to go check on you now...I bet anything I will find giraffe on your face and will put it a little farther away for the night (cause I can't check on you that often while I am sleeping).
