22 Months

On April 13, 2012 (HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA/MOM) Liam turned 22 months old!


This was the only photo our sweet (& strong willed) toddler wanted to take! So, that was the end of our 22 month photo session ;)

Liam has really blossomed in language development. He talks up a STORM! From "truck" to "choo-choo" to "bye-bye" (the sweetest little goodbye you've ever heard) and even starting to put words together ("dada chooz" (shoes) or "got you!"). He has the tiniest, sweetest little voice and it's so nice to be able to communicate with him. He makes his wishes pretty clear (hands me a remote and says "doogers" for diggers, which means Bob the Builder) or "app lll" when he wants an apple. His "bank you" for thank you and "peeaass" for please is pretty adorable too! Oh this stage is sooo fun!

Besides the many words he says, he's also pretending to read. Every night we read a book called "goodnight little kitten." Very simple text, basically just mama and dada telling their baby kitten to go to bed. Randomly Liam will pick up the book, mumble a bunch of words I don't understand followed with a "mama" or a "dada" depending on which character it is. Such a smart little boy!

He follows a series of directions very well. He'll pick up toys at night and put them where directed (usually, unless distracted or hyper), will pick up and then throw away trash when asked, grab a toy and bring it to you, etc. Very helpful and makes mama and dada very proud! He can also put his shoes on himself (sometimes the wrong feet, but it's progress). Now he's starting to take an interest in dressing himself too. And he's learned to open doors (yikes!) so we're Liam-proofing those! VERY independent this boy!

He LOVES throwing, catching and kicking a ball, LOVES trucks, tractors and trains (he's even starting to like race cars). He's charming, he's well liked and so intelligent. His daddy and I feel so blessed to have this young man in our lives!

Stats:
Weight-26 lbs
Height- 33 inches (approx., difficult to get an accurate measurement on this active boy!)
Diapers- size 4 (he tells me "no" when asked if he wants to go on the potty; although he will sit on it for a second, so that's progress!)
Clothes- still wearing 18 mo pants (skinny waist since birth) & wears 18mo-24/2t shirts & pajamas


To close, here's our big boy riding his "new to him" quad!

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?!

Oh Baby, Oh Baby We Conceived...

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 ). I have always thought my due date was off by 2 days, but either way we conceived around this time last year! My how things change in a year... what an incredibly blessed year it has been! I remember taking the pregnancy test a few weeks before Halloween. Crazy to believe this Halloween I'll be dressing up my 4 month old sweet lil' pumpkin! The very excited parents-to-be Halloween 2009.   Halloween 2010: Our family of 4, is now 5 (hoping to get our updated Halloween photo this year!). Thank you Liam for completing me Here's to another beautiful year with our precious Liam David.
