Kevin, Shannah, Liam, Lorelei & Delaney

It has been so chaotic around here with the move taking place next week--I almost forgot to post Liam's stats. He went to the doc on Monday (and said goodbye, which was so sad--Liam and I LOVE our doctor and nurses!). Definitely going to miss them. Liam's stats were as follows: Weight 17lbs, 14 oz (15th percentile, finally went from 10th percentile to 15th--great job!) Height: 27'' (10th percentile) Head: 46 cm (75th percentile) Doc said this is a pretty average head but it looks big on him because he's so petite, lol... pretty sure she just said Liam has a big head. HA! Liam, I think you look PERFECT! Last week Kevin took 3 days of leave. We were supposed to be working on move stuff BUT one day we decided we had done enough work and deserved some family time (and it was the only sunny day we had last week). So we set out for a hike. Unfortunately the rain from the previous day ruined those plans so we ended up taking a walk around the area, found a park whe...

from Liam! Mommy's lil' Charmer.... Should read, Mommy's lil' Trouble Maker And a couple from the other night/day: Oh yes, he climbed into the dishwasher! First organic flax-seed pancakes w/ cream cheese (yum!). He looks like his cousin Braxten in this one!

  Liam you are 9 months old today! You are so much fun and pack a ton of personality into your 17lb body. We are so amazed by you. Daddy and I were talking about how fun it is to wake each morning and hang out with you, as you're always doing something new these days. You're an absolute delight to be around and such a wonderful gift to wake up to every morning. You are (very approximately) 17lbs and 27 inches tall (I think we may have flubbed this measurement up, you are really hard to get a hold of to measure lately)... but you have a well baby appt. in 2 weeks, so we should know your official stats soon. You wear size 3 diapers and are fitting into most 9 month clothes. Here are the skills babycenter.com says you may have mastered or will master during your ninth month: Stands while holding onto something--absolutely. You LOVE standing, you'll use furniture, your walking dino, play table, activity center, tv, boxes... basically anything that will hold you steady ...
