Liam is 6 months old!

Here's our handsome little man at 6 months!  He's growing very well and is learning so many new things!
Here are his 6 month measurements:
Head = 17 3/4 inches (85th percentile)
Weight = 19 pounds 6 ounces (82nd percentile)
Length = somewhere between 25 1/2 inches (20th percentile) and 28 1/2 inches (97th percentile).  The doctor and nurse really had a hard time getting an accurate measurement with this :)

We have really been looking forward to the 6 month mark for a couple of reasons
1. Liam spits up a TON and we've heard that this usually improves significantly at 6 months
2. Liam had a dairy sensitivity, so I've had to cut all dairy out of my diet until now.  Most babies are over this sensitivity at 6 months, so this week I started drinking milk, eating cheese and yogurt, and indulging in chocolate and he has been great!  I'm SO happy because I've really been missing my milk!


Growing!


 It is really amazing how quickly our kids are growing!

 These are our good friends' kids Jack (who is 9 months older than Zoë) and Luke (who is 1 day older than Liam)

 Liam is such a smiley little guy!  Notice the drool on the front of his shirt.  He has gotten 2 teeth in the last week!

Another new skill that Liam has developed - sitting!

Warmer temperatures!


 We've been able to get outside a little more lately and are looking forward to more playtime at the park soon!  Here are some pics of the kiddos enjoying the fresh air!


Birthday fun!

 Two of Zoë's best friends celebrated their birthdays recently (Jack turned 3 and Jolie turned 2).  They both had their parties at these great indoor play areas and Zoë had a blast!  She's a very courageous little girl and amazes us each day with the new tricks she learns!

 First time trying out the rings!
