Day 10 (1/10/11)

In our house, we do a combo of crib and co-sleeping. At bedtime, Li goes to sleep in his crib and when he wakes up 3, 4, 5hrs later, we pull him into bed with us, nurse and pass out. When he wakes up and is ready to play but its too early, we give him his seahorse to play with. Man does this boy love his seahorse! You press its stomach and it glows softly (the stomach) and plays lullabies. Most mornings Liam falls back asleep no problem. He likes to play with it for a few minutes, chewing on it, snuggling it, and then the magic works and he passes out!

Just a boy and his seahorse!

Day 9 (1/9/11)

Every Sunday, Liam goes to hangs out with his Grandma (M's mom) while M and I are at work. Things are always interesting at Grandma's, there are always people around, like Pampa and various aunts, uncles and cousins, so Liam always has someone to play with!

On our way to Grandma's!

Day 8 (1/8/11)

Yesterday was going to be a quiet day around here, but then we decided to be sociable. Our day started off waking up to half an inch of snow on ground. I wanted to take our daily picture out in the snow, but by the time I would have been ready it was already melted :( Instead, we spent our morning being lazy, watching movies and playing with Liam.

According M, Fuzz Face and YaYa (my mother), Li has found and sucked on his toes several times. I just had to take their word for it because I'd never seen it. Until today!

Liam and M were snuggling on the couch and I looked over and he had his foot in his mouth! It was so exciting (to me anyway)!

M's aunt was throwing a small get together that afternoon, so we figured we'd stop by and visit (this starts the sociable part of the day). It was a lot of fun, but we ended up leaving earlier then I would have liked. Our reason for leaving was to go and have dinner with Pampa, aka Liam's birthday buddy (Liam was born on Pampa's [M's grandfather] 81st birthday). Dinner was really nice, it was Pampa, Grandma, M's cousin Kacee who is visiting from the desert, Liam, M and myself. After dinner, we continued our sociable day.

Our last stop was at the house of one of M and my's favorite people. Linda and Barry. I don't know what it is about them, but I always feel so much better after visiting with them. They just have an amazing energy that they share with everyone! Aside from stopping by just to stay hi, we were there for their daughter Rhia to meet Liam. Rhia was one of my bridesmaids in our wedding, and she had yet to meet Liam. Until last night. And of course she's on her way back to school now and wont see him again until the summer, but at least she got to see him as a 'little' baby!

Day 7 (1/7/11)

Today was a much better day for my little man! Grandpa Fuzz Face (my father) helps us out and watches Liam on mornings when M and I both work. Liam is Fuzz Face's "first mate" and is completely crazy for my father. I mean, this child just lights up when he see him, its so sweet!

Once M and I were both home from work, we took a nice long 2 hr walk around the "neighborhood." I use that term loosely, as we currently live in an apartment complex that backs up to a shopping center, with another shopping center literally across the street.




Liam decided to play in the clothes on the bed before we left for our walk. Silly baby!

Our walk was really nice, although COLD considering it was 31 degrees. We stayed warm though, Liam was snuggled nicely against M in our Babyhawk!



My handsome boys!





One more thing: today Li is 21 weeks old! Where did the time go?!?!

Day 6 (1/6/11)

Apparently today was a hard day for my little man while I was at work. M said he barely ate, was sad and cried a lot and spent a good portion of the time looking around (for me, he assumes). Once I got home, Liam nursed for a little bit, then was happy and ready to play! I guess my little guy really did missed me!

One of the few things that kept Li from crying during the morning was being in his exersaucer. Since it is rapidly becoming one of his favorite toys in our place, I figured I'd better document how much he enjoys it. Thus today's pictures!

Having a ball!

"Oh hai Mom!"

Day 5 (1/5/11)

Today was a family day. M and I were both off work, so we spent a portion of the day just lazing about, a portion cleaning out our loft (an everlasting work in progress), a portion going for a nice long walk and a portion visiting with M's family. And of course playing with Liam all day long! We introduced him to his exersaucer today and he absolutely loved it! Pictures from today are from M and Liam playing before going on our walk this afternoon. This kid just loves his father, as you can obviously tell!

Day 4 (1/4/11)

Even though we got some shots at the doctors last night, aside from being super sleepy, Liam has been in a really good mood the majority of the day! Go Li!

Those of you who know me, know I'm a bit on the "natural/organic if possible" side of life, or at least I aim to be. Part of my goals in 2011 is to do my best to try buy local, organic and healthy food and upcycle unwanted things, among other things. One of them is to switch Liam over to the cloth-side. Cloth diapering that is. CDing today is waaayyy different then it was back in the day. Our stash is very small right now, we only have 3 GroVia shells and 9 inserts, although I will be expanding it as finances allow!

Todays pictures show off one of his CDs!
