The Morris Family: 22 months, 4 months - and a bit of randomness...

What can I say? I always try to do a pic of these two together when they both turn a month - but this month I do believe they weren't in the picture taking mood... This is the best I could do... Oh well, at least they aren't screaming!!

These two have really grown to love each other. Okay, Liam has really grown to love Lincoln, and Lincoln tolerates Liam. I'm sure this method of thinking will continue - don't worry, I'm as prepared as I can possibly get... But how cute is this picture?

This is Liam's month #4. At this time he is wearing 6-9 (mostly 9) month clothing. He weighs 17 pounds and is 25.5 inches long. Comparison to Lincoln at 4 months: 2 inches shorter, 1 pound lighter. He is wearing a size 3 diaper, and a size 2 shoe (I found that out yesterday - it was the first time I've put shoes on the kid!!). He is NOT rolling over yet, but he RARELY gets to hang out in the floor alone. Let's just say Lincoln REALLY loves to "play" with him when he's in the floor. He did *almost* roll completely over belly to back the other day, but stopped on his side. He is sleeping on his belly as he doesn't enjoy being on his back (thus the reason he hates his carseat). He can now sit up for a few minutes at a time when assisted by the boppy seat (picture to follow). We are also working on some foods! Yay!! Poor thing, everytime you eat he opens his mouth like a little baby bird everytime you take a bite... We've been eating some rice cereal, which he likes, pears - again a like, and we even tried squash... Maybe that one will grow on him. I also gave him some little broken up pieces of puffs the other day which made for some GREAT entertainment! The pictures of the terrible horrible face are on mom's camera, but I will have to post some, as they are HILARIOUS!

Anyways, he takes 4 8oz bottles a day. Goes to bed at 830 and gets up at 730. He takes a little catnap around 10, a LONG nap at 1, and a catnap at 5. He's a really good sleeper! There are no signs of teeth yet, where Lincoln already had two by this time! He is such a sweet baby and just smiles all of the time. You can just sneak a look at him and he'll smile like crazy. He has the cutest little belly laugh - loves to pretend to "fly" - and LOVES to stand holding your hands. And in case you were wondering, doesn't look so much like Lincoln did anymore! He definitely has his own look (which I think favors my brothers baby pictures - okay, favors would probably be a mild word). I know I'm awfully lucky to have another happy, good sleeping baby!!

Now Lincoln, dear friends, is 22 months old now - and has a HUGE personality! Will quite literally repeat ANYTHING you say - and has started talking in 2-3 word "sentences". He also likes to sing (especially "row row row row row row row row.....boat" while doing the movements). He has learned some rather interesting new lingo, such as "sup" (for example, here is what daddy gets greeted with when he gets home from work: "DADDY!! Sup?"). We recently learned "homie" (thanks Bec!) - and he is crazy about anything with a ball - golf, basketball, baseball, whatever. Likes to yell "In da Hole!" We are also CRAZY over trains right now. We are actually taking him to "A Day out with Thomas" next week in Cincinatti. Can't wait to see his reaction! He is at such a fun age right now!!

I dont think anything has changed much size-wise since last post. But worth mentioning is potty-training... Not going SO great, but we have managed to pee in the potty a couple times - and even poop once. We've had another outdoor poop since the last post (i swear he really ain't naked outside that much!

Oh, and lately we've really been hung up on "Ho-Ho" - when you ask him what ho-ho is going to bring him, you usually get choochoos, tractors, toons (cartoons) and oats. That's right folks, ho-ho is bringing that kid oats. He loves them THAT much!
