He Steps into Easter!

The day: Friday, April 22nd. The scene: we just arrived at Grandma and Grandpa Snowden's for our Easter weekend. Grandpa was assisting Liam with walking to mama and said it felt like he was centered and that he was not assisting Liam much, so he let go and Liam took 3 UNASSISTED STEPS (might have been more, but he hit the couch that mama was laying on and I lunged at him in amazement/excitement!). Threw me, Grandpa and Auntie Kimber for a loop; one minute we're sitting there chatting, the next Liam does something completely unpredictable and unexpected. We all squealed and stared at him in absolute shock! We were so happy we got to see it (Daddy was running an errand for Mama at the store--poor guy missed it!).

On Wednesday, April 27th, I managed to get video of Liam doing this stunt over and over again. He continued to do it after Dada got home that night. We're definitely on our way to "walking" (Kevin thinks it's more of a run). He actually slowed the pace down while he was trying to get to Dada, which resulted in 5 steps--the new record! (we think the fast pace he moves at is actually a hindrance for him!). Anyways, enough talking about it... here's the action (turn your volume way down--mama was a little too excited!).



Doesn't look like it's going to be long and we'll have a walker on our hands. Such a bittersweet milestone--I miss my baby, but want him to continue progressing; I am exhausted enough with the crawling and fast pace this boy already moves at, but want him to enjoy the world on an entirely different level; and I think 10.5 months is way too early to be taking on such an endeavor, but don't want to hold my son back.

I meant to post about Easter, but that will have to wait for another day (busy, busy around here!).

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?!
