wickedcherubHad Liam's 8 month appointment today. He's hitting all his developmental milestones, so that's good. His growth curves are plateauing greatly though - he's only put on 300g in the past 6 weeks and only 1.5cm. I mean, that puts him at an average 8.6kg and 69cm long, but he used to be so big for his age!
I was really hoping he'd take after Adam for height. Adam's what.. 187cm tall? I'm 158cm on a good day.
Liam's *really* close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and he pushes off with his knees/feet. But doesn't move his arms. So he doesn't go anywhere and he's *so* frustrated, the poor boy. After a few minutes of it he cries :( I don't know if I'm supposed to be helping him, or even if I can! Sometimes he looks like he's crouch starting the 100m sprint and just when he launches he doesn't move his arms and... nothing.
Some of the other kids in Mother's Group are commando crawling but I don't think Liam is going to do that judging by the fact he is almost always on his knees if he's belly down. We went to Storytime today but Liam wasn't interested even though we sang all his favourite songs, he just wanted to be on the floor not-crawling.
I have a Day in the Life entry from like a month ago that I still haven't posted, I really should do that.
Check this facebook status I got on my feed the other day regarding Rupert Murdoch: "Such an old man who has done much good for western media over his lifetime and this is the reward he gets." This is one of my best friend's husband, a very bright successful man. We never ever agree on ANYTHING. He's constantly hating on socialist sorts of things and I'm constantly 'YOU CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE' and he's all 'PEOPLE SHOULD JUST SHUT UP AND WORK HARDER'. And then I drop it because it's not worth it, really.
Here is a photo of Liam going 'Uh oh. She's caught me. Quick, pretend I'm not about to put this yucky dirty chain in my mouth!'
