I Shed a Little Tear Today...

I shed a little tear this weekend while feeding Liam. He was INSISTING on feeding himself his cereal puffs, which made me feel so proud and so heartbroken all at the same time. Where did my little baby go? When did this little guy who was so dependent on me for everything start finding his own independence? *tear* Congratulations on yet another accomplishment lil' man... I am so proud of you *smile*

Liam spent the weekend showing daddy just how active he truly is. I cannot tell you how many times Kevin paused this weekend to say "I cannot believe how fast he is" or "I cannot believe all the things he gets into" or "I feel like I cannot take my eyes off of him for even a second." Did Daddy actually think I was making this up? Maybe now he truly understands why I am so exhausted by the end of our 10-12 (and sometimes 14) hour days?!

Liam is NOT sleeping well. His gums are so swollen, but still no teeth. We're hoping one (or two) will pop through soon and give him some much needed relief (and possibly some rest for mama & dada?!). I think we'll have a walker here in the next few weeks. Liam is really making progress pulling up, cruising along the furniture and he even manages to hold his balance for a few seconds after letting go of something. And he's trying to climb the furniture (oh my!).

Guess he was in need of a snack?!

I cannot believe I've started planning Liam's 1st Birthday. Where has the time gone? Everyone tells you to enjoy it, as it goes by so fast. I thought I was enjoying it, but now I find myself wanting that time back. I don't think I'd do anything differently (maybe stress less about sleep training) but, I'd still like to go back in time, slow it all down and replay it one more time. Not that I don't love the fun we're having now, but sometimes I miss that lil' guy that would actually sit still long enough to cuddle me.

As always, lots of fun at the Fagundes household! Stay tuned...

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?!
