So thats what they look like...

It's Spring time and i couldnt be more excited. As much as i love the cooler weather for my hair, i was getting bored of my winter wardrobe. Liam was too and the first time i put shorts on him he stared and stared at his white legs. Now i am just praying that once those legs get some sun they will nice and tan like daddy and he wasnt cursed with my ghostly skin. We are loving our spring outfits and the chance to be barefoot! I realized the other day that that child has had something covering his feet since the day he was born. He is finally free! Liam also laughed for me this week and it is the best laugh i have ever heard. i even didnt mind hearing it at 4am one morning when he was having his own little party in his crib.  i went in to see what he was up to and as soon as i peaked over the rail, a big smile came across his face. How can you be mad at that?!
This weekend was "Man weekend" because i was at work. Liam watched his first Gator basketball game and even wore his Gator attire to cheer on his team. Daddy and him visited me for lunch on Saturday and then took an adventure downtown. He definately gets out and about and loves it. He is so easy going and just goes wherever with little to no fuss.  He has even mastered eating a bottle during church! i am amazed.
Now you can see why baby fever is creeping up although i try and tell myself there is no way i would be blessed with 2 easy babies. The next one is going to be a hellion i am sure. Guess we will have to wait and see....and hopefully have an answer as early as next year. WHAT?!?!?! CRAZY?!?!?

Where did the 3 months go?

I WANT THEM BACK!!! He is growing like a weed and i hate it....although i must say it is nice to have a conversation and get some kind of response back.  In my mind he is understanding everything i am saying where i am sure he is just laughing and cooing so that i get excited and get out of his personal space. Whatever makes me feel good right?
This past week, Liam has started staying awake more during the day and is starting to need more interaction which i am loving. We have found some fun toys that he is starting to grasp at and now when we do tummy time, there isnt any screaming involved.  He loves getting on his belly and pushing himself up to look at whats going on and has gotten really great at, as evidenced below.

Remember how i wrote in my last post that the crying at bed time is gone? Well...its back and again, I want to pull my hair out. I am trying to wait it out, blame it on the time change, because if it continues, i may just never put him to bed. It breaks my heart. He is fed, burped, changed, and pacifier is in place yet we still scream and cry for at least 20 minutes before its over. sigh.
Aunt Yvonne came to visit and meet Mr. Liam. He pulled out his best. The bottom lip before a meltdown, smiling, cooing...he showed it all.  He will have many more stunts in a few months when we visit South Florida which hopefully includes eating pureed food.
Until next week.....

Reunited and it feels so good.....

Going back to work was a lot easier then i expected and i survived. It was great to see friends and have adult conversations instead of talking to a baby and dogs all day. Jesse and i also learned how blessed we are to have family and friends that took time out of their busy days to help us out with babysitting...Liam is one lucky baby. He spent his week with many new faces and looked like he was having the time of his life everytime i got a phone update. What did people do before smart phones? Now, i am off for 6 days which excites me! Hopefully he doesnt think i am boring after all the fun he had this week.

Week 12 is almost over and he is growing like a weed. He is starting to recognize his name and seems to know who Jesse and I are instead of looking at us like we are crazy when we get in his face to ooh and ahh.  The night time screaming is officially over and all and all we are in our routine and doing wonderful! He is starting to grasp at toys that we dangle in front of him and rumor on the street is he has laughed out loud but i have yet to hear it. He is such an easy baby and i just know the next one is going to be pay back. As much as that scares me, i still can't fight the baby fever that has settled in.  Some may think i am crazy but both Jesse and i are close to our siblings in age and the more we talk about it the more it makes sense to us. So stay tuned, this ride may get a little crazy soon but we wouldnt have it any other way....maybe i just need to be reminded of sleepless night, emotional days, and terrors of breastfeeding...hmm...yeah...
