Liam



I wanted to do a six month update on Liam but I'm now just getting around to it...Oops(our month of February was super busy). Here's his stats at six months
Weight-15.3
Height-25 3/4
He was in the 10th percentile of both.  He's a little dude just like his older brother :)



At seven months
-still has no teeth
-is sitting up all by himself
-loves watching his older brother at all times. Every time he sees Q he smiles and giggles.
-loves to take showers
-He has some horrible eczema on his back and upper thighs. We started putting a prescription cream on it and that seems to be helping quite a bit. Hopefully it continues to get better.
-He is not a good sleeper. He has his good nights every now and again but for the most part he is up every 2-3 hours. Q  was not a good sleeper until he was 2 years old so apparently I'm doing something terribly wrong.
-He is becoming super active and tries to grab everything in sight.
-He is such a good natured baby and always smiling.
-he loves getting the back of his neck/head tickled.
-he lights up when he sees mom or dad.



He loves this horse

I started feeding Liam cereal at about 5 1/2 months and he LOVES it!! I'm so glad he's not a picky eater. Fruits or veggies...he loves it all. He giggles every time I start to mix it up. The boy loves to eat!

I never want to forget these chubby legs. Love the rolls!!

Cabin Getaway

Here's a re-cap of our weekend at the cabin.

Q got to hang out with some of his favorite people....like Aunt Madi.

And Uncle Logan and a few of his buddies. The kids think these boys are the coolest.

We played outside A LOT!! Bryler,Quinton and Conley on the sled

Liam(6 1/2 months)and Lawson. Poor little Lawson got super sick on Sunday so the Bennetts went home a day early to take him to the doctor. Sick babies are the worst!

These boys went on some intense tube rides. I wish I could have gotten Logan and his friends on video when Branden scared them one night outside. Hilarious!!

Love these two!!

Valentine's Day and Branden's Birthday

We started Valentine's Day off with some heart shaped pancakes.

Q made Valentine's Day cards for his Dad and Grandmas & Grandpas.  He thought they turned out so cool and insisted on showing Liam every detail over and over. (pic. below)

We also made heart shaped sugar cookies to go with his cute little cards. Q LOVES helping  me in the kitchen. 

He was a big helper collecting the scrapes around the hearts.

I love how the simplest things can make these little boys so happy.

The day after Valentines we celebrated Bran's 28th Birthday. We went out to dinner with his Mom and Greg and then headed home for some ice cream cake. I'm guessing the night ended how most of our nights end now a days...watching some Thunder basketball!! Happy Birthday Bran!  We love you!

Arizona

At the beginning of February we were able to take a trip to Arizona for the week and stay with Grandma and Papa Hall. We always have so much fun down there. We took the kids this year which is a first for us. They did so good the whole trip even though I was a little nervous about the plane ride.  But they did great! Quinton thought the plane ride was so much fun.  He got the window seat and couldn't have been more pleased. 

Quinton LOVED Grandma and Grandpa's pool.  He wanted to swim every morning and night. After the first day he even swam all by himself (we were by the pool).

This was Grandpa Hall trying to catch him with the pool cleaner.  He thought it was pretty funny.

"That's not a good idea." -Quinton, every time Branden would try something new in the pool with him.

One of our last days there we went to the zoo.  We were there while they were feeding the monkeys. 

Quinton and his cousin Brighton even got to feed the giraffes.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

Roasting marshmallows the last night we were there.  No one ate the ones Quinton made...

The weather was just a hair better than Idaho.  We got to go on walks every morning and play outside all day.

We had SOOO much fun.  A few other highlights of the trip were Quinton playing golf with dad and grandpa, shopping with Shay and Grandma, and eating out at some delicious restaurants. Thanks to Grandma and Papa Hall for a great time.  Quinton still tells us to take him back to Arizona just about every day.
