Its Officially Summer..and way too hot!

We've had an exciting two weeks- after Liam's baptism, he began hitting a few milestones pretty quickly. He now likes to roll from back to stomach and on his own, this was a big one for us! And when he is in the sitting position, he can hold himself up with his hands on the ground. Its a great milestone and the therapist was really excited for us. We are practicing everyday and he continues to get stronger with his coordination. Liam does get very frustrated though when he cannot move, he tries to crawl, climb, move...we have gotten to the point of not being able to turn our back.

Liam is also now eating-his favorite so far is sweet potatoes! And occasionally he will hold his bottle and feed himself which is a great help for me when trying to multi task. Of course, all this eating has helped him gain some weight, he is now 16 lbs, 1 oz. In the 70% percentile on the DS chart..its hard to remember the 5 lb baby we were so scared to hold!

We haven't sold the house yet but are hopeful its coming soon- if you know of anyone looking to move around northern Virginia outside of DC, let us know! Living apart has been pretty hard for us, more lonely for me. We are alternating weekends and driving up and down 95 is getting old, especially as I start seeing the turtles on top of SUVs and families together heading to the beach.

In some great news, one of Liam's CHOP friends, Makenna had her open heart surgery last week and is doing great. She went home last night- another success at CHOP! We hope to reunite the little ones this summer at the Jersey shore and let their romance blossom :o)

Baptism!!

We had Liam's baptism yesterday- it was a fun service and an even more fun party afterwards with our family! Here are some pictures!
