Week 10 and a Date...

Week 10 taught us the beauty of a schedule.  I was given BabyWise by a good friend and although i don't agree with everything it says, it provided tips on getting a baby on a schedule to make your life easier.  I now am no longer anxious when we go out because i know what times he eats and can plan my day around those times.  We even made it to church tonight and although he didnt make it the entire service, he went longer than he has since he was a newborn. We have conquered sleeping through the night and i am proud to say once he goes down, he doesnt get back up until 8am. Still, the going to sleep is a problem that baffles me.  He takes all his naps in the crib and doesnt fight but when it is time for bed...forget it.  He screams and cries. So what does that mean for me? I cry with him because he breaks my heart.  My mission for next week is to get that situation figured out and any suggestions for a peaceful routine are welcome.
This week, Jesse and I were able to go out on Valentine's Day while Liam stayed home with our good friend LaShawn. It was the first time we were out since he joined our family and it was much needed although now i know why everyone said i need to start leaving him more often to prepare for when i go back to work.  We were gone 4 hours and i couldnt wait to come home and hold him.  12 hours is going to seem like an eternity!! sigh...i am not ready.
He is still discovering his hands and is trying to perfect the skill of fitting his entire fist in his mouth and is still trying to figure out what those 2 things on the end of his legs are.  He has outgrown the mesh sling in his bathtub and now sits up in it with assistance and splashes around with his legs.  When he does it he gets a big smile on his face.  Grandma and Grandpa Hinson along with Uncle Jeremiah came to visit this weekend which Liam enjoyed.  He was able to show off his new skills since they last saw him.
Until next week...
