Happy Birthday Daddy

Today is Clay birthday, so Liam and I made him a card this morning after he left for work. For his Birthday Dinner we went to Salsa's, which is one of our favorites. We went last night so that the FIT guys could take him out tonight. What a surprise; they are going to the Broken Barrel.

New Noise

Liam has a new noise. It kinda sounds like you're letting helium out of a balloon. It has been driving Jager crazy all morning, I think he thinks Liam is hurt or upset.

Halloween Party

Last night was our 2nd annual Halloween Party. This years winner for Best Costume and the $25 gift card to Carrabba's was Seth Gilmore as the Godfather. For those that don't know, Seth is also Liam's actual Godfather. The winner and only contestant for Best Kids Costume was Liam as a lobster. Finally, Best Carved Pumpkin winner went to me of course. Thanks for coming guys, we had a great time. Can't wait until next year.

Good Morning

Liam is always so cute in the morning when I go in and wake him up. So today I thought I would film it for Clay.

Daddy Come Home

Just a Little Closer

West Palm Beach

Liam and I drove down to West Palm today to see Angie who was visiting from Mass. We took Liam to the beach for part of the day. I was so worried about making sure Liam had enough sunscreen that I forgot to reapply my own. Needless to say I'm a little bit burnt.

Sippy Cup

Today we tried the sippy cup for the first time. Liam thought it was more of a toy then anything else. I don't think he got anything out of it. But he liked playing with it.

Rock'n and a Roll'n

Today Liam and I went over to Kayla's house. While we were there Liam finally figured out how to roll from his stomach back onto his belly. He's done it a couple of times but he had no idea of what just happened and would get scared. This time he did it on purpose and he just kept on rolling over and over until he would run out of blanket.

Dentist

I took Liam to my dentist appt this morning. I needed x-rays and a check-up, since I haven't been since before Clay and I got married (3yrs). Needless to say, I was nervous, but I had no cavities. Tomorrow I go back for my cleaning. I decided that it was better to break up the appts with me flying solo with Liam (he does better with shorter trips) and this way it wouldn't effect his nap. The ladies at the office were such a big help with him today. I don't think they get many babies in there.

Photos for Daddy

I told Clay I would post a new photo of Liam for every day he is gone in Iowa. So here's todays pic. Believe me, he lived up to his shirt today, don't let that smile fool you.

Long Distance Call

Jimmy called me today. Well actually he called yesterday and I didn't answer it since I didn't recognized the number, so he called back today. For those that don't know, Jimmy is the oldest of my younger brothers. He is currently stationed in Iraq for the next 18mths. He's doing good, but he sounds really homesick. My 1st letter hasn't gotten there yet, but he said that there have been some really bad dust storms. I guess some church in GA sent him a care package and it had girl scout cookies in it. He was really excited about that. You all know how Jimmy is about food. I'm glad I finally got to talk to him.

5mths

I can not believe that Liam is 5mths today. He now sleeps....... wait for it...... 13hrs at night. We start our day at 8:30am and he's in bed by 7:30pm. Liam is definitely not a morning person. He is super crabby when he first gets up. He prefers to sleep on his stomach which is something new that he has started this week. He is still taking three naps. Usually the 1st is 55min, followed by 2 1/2hrs, and 45min.

As for food, Liam now eats two large meals a day in addition to 5 feedings. He gets rice cereal in the morning after his first nap and at night he get rice cereal with a veggie followed by his bath. So far his favorite is peas. He will eat an entire jar. He doesn't even leave any on his face, he licks it all off. He also has become really whiney, mostly beecause he can't crawl yet he gets bored very easily and wants to be pick up and moved around. He's the happiest in the Johnie Jumper, so I save it until the afternoons when he's the crabbiest. He still hates being on on his stomach, unless Jager is close by. Then he tries really hard to "pet" Jager. Liam loves giving Jager a cookie, and let's face it Jager loves it too.
