9 Month Stats

It has been so chaotic around here with the move taking place next week--I almost forgot to post Liam's stats. He went to the doc on Monday (and said goodbye, which was so sad--Liam and I LOVE our doctor and nurses!). Definitely going to miss them.

Liam's stats were as follows:

Weight 17lbs, 14 oz (15th percentile, finally went from 10th percentile to 15th--great job!)
Height: 27'' (10th percentile)
Head: 46 cm (75th percentile) Doc said this is a pretty average head but it looks big on him because he's so petite, lol... pretty sure she just said Liam has a big head. HA! Liam, I think you look PERFECT!

Last week Kevin took 3 days of leave. We were supposed to be working on move stuff BUT one day we decided we had done enough work and deserved some family time (and it was the only sunny day we had last week). So we set out for a hike. Unfortunately the rain from the previous day ruined those plans so we ended up taking a walk around the area, found a park where Liam ate his lunch picnic style and enjoyed playing. The swings are always a favorite, but Liam got to ride on the tire swing with Daddy for the first time. Boy did he enjoy that!

Please excuse his attire--we left during his morning nap (which he takes in his pj's). It was chilly when we arrived so we left him in his jammies and added a jacket.

Again excuse the fashion crime (stripes, plaid and more stripes, YIKES!). We were expecting a muddy hike, not a beautiful backdrop at the park!

Yummy leaves!

What do you mean NO?!

A few weeks ago (St. Patrick's Day I am guessing by what Liam is wearing) our DVR box broke. I guess Liam figured this out... here he is with his screwdriver trying to fix it. We were laughing that he must have understood our frustration with the situation. Funny thing is, after he went to bed it came back up. Thanks Mr. Fix-It!

Here is Liam yesterday on our walk. Our usual is to walk over to the park, get him out of the car to swing, then he gets back in and we walk the long way home. Yesterday he wanted nothing to do with getting out of the car to swing. He grunted and held on tight to the steering wheel. I figured he was taking his car driving seriously (he LOVES this thing) so we kept on walking. I walked him for 35 minutes (my feet were aching--mama needs to wear walking shoes from now on, not flip flops). When we got home, he had the same reaction so I ended up pushing his car around the garage and up and down our very steep driveway until he finally decided enough was enough (it was nap time, thankfully or we might still be out there. HA!).

And another funny this morning. Look at all his toys:

And we play with?

Photobucket
Well, diapers of course!

Photobucket
Silly boy!

Here are some randoms of Liam over the past couple weeks. He has been SO good about letting mama finish packing and cleaning... he plays so independently (and loves unpacking what mama packs--should be super helpful when we get to the new house!).

Photobucket
Eating one of his faves... toast w/ jelly!

Grandma & Grandpa bought him this little garden play house. He LOVES it so much (and mama does too, it's a nice safe place to contain him in for a while!).

I can never get enough photos of this kid. He's just so adorable and fun!

He honestly can stand on his own, but it's a trust issue at this point!


He loves to vacuum and watch people sweep. This could be a really nice bonus for mama in a few years! (Excuse my conversation in the background, I was talking on the phone).

I have been feeling super guilty about the lack of time we've been able to spend together due to the work load of the move, but Liam has been a champ. He has been sleeping through the night for about a month now and taking 1hr 15 min. naps (twice a day) for several weeks. I certainly hope the move doesn't through him for too much of a loop. I can hardly wait until it's over and we can get back to our mama/Liam fun days.

Our internet will be going down this weekend, so you won't hear from us for a while. I think next week we'll be too busy to blog anyways, but check back in on us the following week--I'm sure we'll have some new, fun stories to share! Till then...

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?! Bedding        Mobile, plays Rock-A-Bye Baby Close up of bedding/mobile   Sheet (Kevin was worried it's not "manly" enough, I had to convince him it is giraffe print and NOT leopard, which it is, if you loo...

We conceived our little miracle this time last year ( your estimated conception date was between Tuesday, September 29, 2009 and Tuesday, October 6, 2009--source babymed ).
