10 months Baby boo! You are 10 months. Some funny things you do recently: -fake laugh- usually in response to me laughing. Which leads to me laughing more, and more fake laughing from you. It is pretty hilarious and most likely the highlight of my day. -you love being surprised- like peek a boo or me jumping out suddenly. -you like to be thrown in the air -flap your arms- either your are really excited or completely fed up. -pull yourself up on everything, but don’t know how to lower yourself yet. So you start to just yell when you want me to put you down You love to: -look outside the window to look over what we call “Liam’s kingdom”, to oversee all the little people and their silly little cars. You just stand up with your hands and forehead pressed to the glass, staring for probably 10-20 minutes. -play with anything we want to use. Usually the computer. You are so helpful with the typing the keys:). The other day I was writing my Valentine’s letter to Alex- and ...

June 9, 2014 Dear Liam, You are two months old this week! You are such an angel. Oh my gosh, you slept 7 HOURS last night!!! I couldn’t believe it, I think I woke up in shock. I was trying to remember when you woke up last night, and I couldn’t figure it out. I figured Alex got up with you, but he said he didn’t! I really couldn’t believe it. Then you woke up for a couple hours and went back to bed. Now you’re laying next to me while I’m typing this, and are starting to move a little. Lance and Ruth just left last night. They were here for a week and we had a blast. First, we had some trouble finding them in the airport and couldn’t call to see where they were. Alex and I split up to find them, and by the time I caught back with Alex, Ruth was holding you. Lance got to you first though! Ruth said, “I was very nice. I gently and quietly took Liam out of Lance’s arms.” Haha. We had a chill week- it was precisely what the doctor ordered. A typical day would be waking up late, I’d...

Oct 19, 2014 Dear Liam, This week was an eye opener for me. I kind of hate writing this experience down, because I’m still so horrified and embarrassed by it, but I feel like I should. A real journal is about the good and not-so-good moments, right? This past week has been a rough one in terms of sleeping. On average, it would take about an hour to get you to fall asleep, and then you’d wake up 30 minutes later. We couldn’t figure out what we were missing, and it was starting to get really frustrating. Last Tuesday, you finally fell asleep around 12:30 after nearly 2 hours. We tried everything many times- feeding, burping, swaddling, medicine, binkie, etc.. Alex and I fell asleep, and at 1:15 you were screaming again. I must have fallen into a deep sleep very quickly, because I felt so incredibly out of it. It was like I was watching myself, and completely acting without thinking. Basically, I lost control. It wasn’t really bad, but further than appropriate. I was yelling, ...
