Liam rolled over (so essentially right at four and a half months)! I'm certain he has no idea how it happened or how to do it again, but it was fun to watch him. He looked totally confused for a split second and then just started hanging out on his belly instead like it was no big deal. Needless to say, it hasn't happened since.
While we were in Roosevelt we went to a reservoir up Starvation Canyon and Landon went fishing for the first time! He has been asking to go ever since my trip to St. George with the boys. Uncle Phil has a fishing boat and was gone fishing the first day we arrived (to a little boy that is just too cool). That combined with the characters in Dinosaur Train fishing made him really want to go. So he and Jeff went and picked out a Lightning McQueen fishing pole and we were all set.
He LOVED it! He was happy to sit there and practice casting for the longest time. His friend Kaylee has a Barbie fishing pole ... it was quite the adorable site to see the two of them together. I'm thinking arranged marriage should come back and we can get these two fishing for the rest of their lives together!
The funniest part of the experience had to be when Jeff tied the little rubber tire on the end (that comes with it for them to practice with), then he cast it out on the shore just to show Landon. Landon spotted that tire and was thrilled (they caught something!), then as Jeff reeled it in Landon chased it like a cat saying "I gonna get you!" ... until it was reeled all the way in and he exclaimed "I got you!" as if that wasn't inevitable. So funny :)! Uncle Phil - you have a new fishing buddy next time we come visit!
Then when we got home we decided to feed Liam solids. He kept acting like he was starving all the time (which, if you've seen pictures, that is clearly not the case). We started with cereal ... and he did pretty darn good. How is he big enough to sit in the high chair? Sigh.
He actually got irritated it was taking so long to get something in his mouth. Yep. He's definitely our baby :)

The next morning I also gave him a sippy cup (with formula in it). It has both a textured bottle top and sippy top. He did ok with both. He knows exactly where it is supposed to go, but he's still working on the coordination to get it there. He's very pleased when he's successful, but hasn't gotten down the tipping it part. Then we tried some sweet potatoes ... and those were a hit too! I'm thinking he just likes to eat. The solids have worked wonders though and he's slept in since starting them!
We recently bought the Thanksgiving Point membership and love it so far. We went to Farm Country with friends this morning and Landon took his first pony ride! What a cute place!

My two cuties are growing up too fast ... but they sure are fun!
