Liam is Eight Months! (And got his first hair cut!)

Liam is eight months old this week! We can't imagine even a second without this sweet guy!! He is the sweetest, most loving baby. 

Look at that face!!

A few things about him right now: He gives the most enthusiastic kisses - they just melt my heart! He can make the "kissy" noise and loves when you make it back. But if you actually ask him for a kiss? He will grab right on to your face/hair and give you a big ol' wet one! It can't help but make your day!

He loves to be held and involved in everything all the time ... and if he isn't he will let you know! The way he "complains" is so funny, he makes a "griping" noise like he is talking continually until someone pays attention to his request. But all it takes to get the biggest smile from him is to look right at him and grin ... and you are instantly rewarded with the biggest smile back! LOVE!

As much as he wants to be a big kid like Landon (and is always reaching for things) he still isn't trying to crawl - he's just happy to sit and be adorable. Landon can get the biggest belly laughs from him! He really, really loves his big brother.

He LOVES to eat (obviously) and wants to try new things all the time. He really loves baby food (sweet potatoes and apples are his fave), his baby "puffs," ice cream (I know, I know ...) and watermelon. But he is definitely willing to try just about anything!! 

And my favorite thing? This kid is a mamma's boy! A lot of the time all he wants and needs is me. I'll take it in a heartbeat! I love it!! However, I keep trying to get him to say "mama." His response to me today in the car when we were driving? Him practicing his "da" noise over and over! 

This week we were getting hair cuts (family pictures are just around the corner!). I kept not wanting to get Liam's cut. It needed it, but he's so little still! But we decided to at the last minute. He did great - and loved all the attention. He has a thing for red heads, so he loved that Jeff's cousin, who was cutting it, has beautiful red hair. The one thing I wouldn't let get cut, though, was his little bitty hair curls. They are just behind his ears and too cute for words.

Mid-cut. He thought the whole thing was pretty fun!

All finished ... and so handsome!

That curl! You wouldn't have cut it either.

 He's getting too big too fast!! We sure love him!
