Happy (half a) Birthday Liam!!

If I had my way, we would spend Liam's 6 month birthday with party hats and a cake with half a candle on it... but sadly no one seems to think it's as big a deal as I do. None-the-less I couldn't let the day go by without a little fanfare, so here's what we did to celebrate:

Bought him a 6 mo.+ toy (he did not like the taste of keys)...

Fed him his first juice out of a 6+ cup (it's going to take some practice)...

Took 6 mo. pictures (the first professional ones we've taken, oh sooo cute)...And except for this (the typical, I am in a highchair and my food is not ready, tantrum)...

Liam was an absolute angel today. He smiled for every picture, laughed for every joke, sat quietly when we had to wait, and best of all - slept when he needed a nap. AND, when he tried green beans, for the first time today, he didn't even make a yuck-face, I think he may have liked them! [Liam had another shot yesterday, which was sad of course but we did get to have him weighed and found out that he is over 18 lbs. now.]

OH - also, Todd was rear-ended Monday morning on the way to work (in the Subaru, thankfully not the Saturn). His neck was hurting pretty bad the last couple of days, but today he seems to be feeling quite a bit better, so that is a blessing. The frustrating thing is that the police did not get us the other party's insurance info at the scene and has not entered his police report yet - so we are stuck without our car and waiting for the claim process to begin before we can even think about getting it fixed and getting it back. Ugh - so inconvenient.
