Seven months!

I can't believe it's been seven months already!

Now Liam is sitting up more often. He still does face plants or falls backwards, but today he sat up for a long time! He's still "swimming" and not crawling, but he gets around really well by rolling!

He eats lots of different things now too. He has rice cereal, oat cereal, avocado, sweet potato, apple sauce, spaghetti squash, and pear! This week we are going to add in peas and maybe banana! Soon we'll try meat too.

Luckily for everyone here, he's been sleeping really well. And by really well I mean he's up every 4-5 hours! It's a dream come true! We're in a pretty good schedule during the day too, as long as we don't go out and miss a nap! Liam loves to look at everything and won't sleep in the car or in the stroller unless I cover the carseat with a blanket so he can't see out!

He's just growing and growing!

Less than 50 days until daddy's back and we can make a home again!

Happy 7 months Liam!

Quiet book: Pages #5 & 6

Done!

I've been working hard to finish up these pages!

One is a zebra with fuzzy stripes and yarn mane and tail.

The other is my favourite. The giraffe with button spots!

Liam tries to grab these pages as I'm working on them. I think he'll like them!

Quiet book: page #4

I started this page the other day. It really didn't take much and was fun to make. I modeled it off a page from a quiet book made by my aunt for my oldest brother when he was a baby. The finger puppets I had bought from ikea a couple years ago and just sewed them on with yarn so they won't get lost.

I should be done 2 more pages in the next little bit. My zebra needs a mane and eyes and my giraffe needs spots and eyes!

Quiet book: page #3

I've been mostly finished this page for a couple weeks now, but was bored of it. I finally added the tail last night so here it is! Now I'm kind of working on 5 pages all at once. I've cut out the felt and sewn the big pieces on. I have to do the hand stitching and all the little extras then I'll be done! That doesn't mean I'm close to having the book completed though!

Actually making things off Pinterest!

I think I have a couple hundred *neat* things pinned on Pinterest and have not really made anything! I did use some ideas for Liam's quiet book, but I looked for those ideas specifically on Pinterest. I have folders of food that I haven't tried yet so I thought I would make some! I was on snack for the Mom's life group I'm in today so I thought I'd test it out there! I couldn't decide on one thing so I made Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Loaf and Raspberry Cornmeal Crumble Bars.

We had the Raspberry Cornmeal Crumble Bars for dessert last night while they were still warm and they were oooohh so yummy! I changed the recipe a bit: I omitted the almonds cause I'm allergic and just added more cornmeal. They were pretty gooey. I needed a fork and plate to eat them. This may have been because I used frozen raspberries and didn't let them thaw completely. It was so good either way, and I would definetly make them again!

The Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Loaf was good and I would probably make it again, but I would change things. It was really moist, to the point of soggy, and I was wondering if it was cooked through (which it was). I also used frozen blueberries for this but I thought they were fully thawed so they shouldn't have added too much liquid. There's a cup of yogurt and half a cup of oil in this recipe, so maybe I could cut the oil and use thicker yogurt to have a firmer/dryer loaf. Even though I'm not a bit fan of blueberries I really liked the flavours of this loaf. I do love lemon though!

Liam and I went on a small vacation to visit daddy this weekend! Here's a couple pictures of our trip!

Liam was so good on the plane. He slept for 3 out of the 4 flights!

We had a good time and can't wait until we can start our new adventures together!!

(9 more weeks!!!)
