Growing Boys

We weighed David while at my parents house and he's 16 pounds now!!! Wowers! He is growing like crazy and it's showing. He wants to eat ALL THE TIME. I mean, he's always had a huge appetite....but it's gotten crazy lately. I'm thinking we're going to start him on rice cereal here soon and see if that helps. It's a little early, but he's really acting like he's ready for solids.
And, he found his feet about 2 weeks ago. He loves them. Whenever he's on his back, he's grabbing at them and trying to chew on them. It's hilarious. Makes diaper changes tough, though because he's either grabbing at his feet or trying to turn over onto his belly. Neither are helpful when diaper changing.



And as for Liam, it looks like he's finally gotten past the 35 pounds plateau, as he was 36 pounds on the scale at my parents.
I'm trying to structure his days a little more, with some "school" and stuff like that, and he seems to be responding to it pretty well. Calming down a little, I think. Life for him got a little crazy over the summer with getting a new brother and then me being on bedrest and everything else.
Did I mention in a previous post that Liam is completely potty trained now?!? It happened almost overnight, and I am so proud of him!

Love the pic of Liam. Was it taken at the zoo? So captures his personality.

Halelujah!!!! He goes potty in the big boy potty pot??? Yay, Liam! He's like his big uncle now. ;) Pretty soon you'll catch him going in there with a book and disappearing for a half hour. *giggle*

ha ha ha. We already "lose" Liam in there sometimes. He'll say he has to go potty and 5 or so minutes later, we go check on him and he's just sitting there, already done his business, just relaxing or something.
