Liam's Six Month Well Visit

Liam turned six months old on Friday.  I snapped this shot at his well visit this week.  For some reason, it reminds me of Austin Powers... "Oh, Behave!"
This is his favorite position, with his knees pulled into his chest.  He already has better abdominal muscles than his mommy.
He is 26 1/4 inches, 19 pounds and growing by the second.  We tried sweet potatoes and sweet peas for the first time this week and even with solids, he is still eating every three hours during the day.  Thankfully, he is sleeping from about 8:30 pm until 7:00 am.  Although he still hasn't rolled over completely yet, he is beginning to balance well enough to sit almost independently.
His huge appetite is matched only by his huge personality.  While sitting on my lap at the pediatrician's office, he made eye-contact with each person-- broadly smiling and soliciting their undivided attention.  
In addition to eating and flirting, his other main interest lies in his big brother, Will, who can make him laugh like no other.  Will, the consummate entertainer, never disappoints-- and like his baby brother,  also happens to thrive on undivided attention.
