Amazing!

That's the word that comes to mind when I really sit back and think about my 5 month old (okay, basically 6 month old) and all the progress he's made! This little guy is so different than the little baby we brought home from the hospital.

He sits up (unsupported--there are some crashes, but it's rare and takes a long time.  He could careless--he just goes about rolling or trying to crawl).

He plays independently (books are his new fave... he loves turning the pages)

Photobucket
He's so happy (which really warms my heart)

Photobucket
He makes funny faces and has the best personality


He is so active (not too long ago we were putting pillows under his feet and bouncing the jumper for him). I have a feeling when this little guy gets going, mama's gonna be BUSY!

Speaking of going... he is trying to crawl.  Right now he has moving in a circle mastered (I really need to get video of that)... but here are some photos for now

Notice he starts in the shade

and ends up in the sun!


Photobucket
He wrestles!

Photobucket
He even fights back.

Photobucket
His smiles light up my day

Photobucket
He loves trying new things (this is his first round with squash yesterday)

Photobucket
It was a hit

Photobucket
He sits in a big boy car seat now

Photobucket
He receives mail

Photobucket
It was a pretty special letter

Photobucket
It was from Santa

Photobucket
Santa knows all about me and says I am very special (mommy and daddy could not agree more)


Photobucket
He is, has and always will be my heart and soul.

Last night, Daddy took video (on his cell phone) of Liam getting up from laying to a sitting position (it's the first time we've ever seen him do that).  Will try to get that on the camera, so we can share... look for that soon! For now, we're just in awe watching Liam grow and change.  Very, very bittersweet.

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?!
