Taking Over the World -- 9 Months Old!!

So, he turned nine months old this week. Can you believe it? Liam now has four teeth, can cruise the furniture, and is able to crawl while dragging a toy along. He is also one fast little bugger! I'm having trouble keeping up with the little guy. It's even harder to get a picture of him b/c the moment he sees the camera he scrambles over and starts climbing up my leg reaching for it!

Interesting note: Liam is still in size four diapers! If you recall from earlier postings I switched him to size four at four months old. So he's been in the same diaper size for 5 months now. We go to the doc for his well baby visit next Tuesday & we'll see how much he's grown. I don't think he's grown a whole lot since 6 months, but I'll put the stats up next week.

Liam would like to show you all some of his favorite toys:

Daddy's Measuring Tape


So, Paul & I can't figure out how he first got ahold of the measuring tape. I thought Paul gave it to him to play with. Then Paul asked me how I figured out he liked playing with the measuring tape, and I realized that Liam must have found it on his own. LOL. Now we can't find it anywhere in the apartment. (He must have stashed it somewhenre for safe keeping. :D )

Mommy's Hairbrush

So this was pretty cute untill he spat up on it. Icky! His first spitup in a couple of months too!
(His hair looks really red here, but it's actually more blond like the other pics. The lighting was a little weird I guess.)

His Ladder... I mean High Chair



Mommy would like to show you her favorite toy:

Liam's New Bed
(Some of my cousins were getting rid of their son's old crib and gave it to us, so now Liam has his own crib! With a brand new mattress and everything.)


I just want to kiss those little toes sticking out of the cover. Oh so cute!!

So so CUTE, Katie! He is SUCH a doll baby! Does he keep you busy at work? I've heard from other mommies that when the little squirts start crawling/walking, they do not gain weight as fast. Maybe I should start crawling around our house . . . I'm going to develop a new exercise program!

One thing I want to know is . . . How do you keep your house looking so neat for photos . . . mine's a DISASTER, and I can't quite get caught up.

Yay for a new crib! We still have Gabriel in our room, though we recently switched him from his bassinet to his pack-n-play. It was a little sad for me because I realized how quickly he's growing. He was definitely cramped in that bassinet and needed a bigger place so he can roll around and move a little.

Two answers to Sarah's question:
1. Take pics right after cleaning.
2. Crop messes out of pictures in photoshop. Awww I remember shifting Liam out of his bassinet to the pack-n-play! I goes so fast!!
