Happy Halloween!

15 weeks today, and as feisty as ever. Liam is going through an "it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to" phase. Every night for the past week as been screaming bloody murder right before bed. I think he's either overtired, or overstimulated during the day. Hopefully we'll get this figured out soon. Last night was better- we put him to bed earlier, and he woke up twice. If he only would sleep through the night...

This past weekend, Gigi and Papaw came up from Katy to visit. Liam had a grand time getting held 24/7 and getting to play with his grandparents. He was quite festive in several Halloween outfits and enjoyed outings to Southlake Town Center and the Hall Pumpkin Farm down the road.







Liam cut another tooth, making the total right now 4. FOUR!! I can't believe it. He's starting to sit up when I have him on my legs reclining, and is SO close to rolling over from his back to his belly. He's looking like he might roll from his belly to his back soon too. I can't wait for that to happen! One thing he really likes is his bouncy saucer- lots of movement, lots of things to play with, and one happy baby :)

14 weeks today!

He's 14 weeks. And for the first time today, Liam decided he would lift his head during tummy time and keep it up for about 10 minutes! His normal routine during this time would be to lift his head for about 10 seconds and then put it down and start sucking on his fist. Way to go Liam! Maybe he finally understood the point :)

Now if he could only roll over...

To start off...

Our buddy Liam. He's almost 14 weeks old (will be tomorrow), and I can't believe how fast time has flown. I never imagined after 40 weeks and 2 days of waiting for this bundle of joy just how much I would love this little boy. I wanted to start this blog to remember the good times, bad times, milestones, and memories of Liam's life... because who knows how much I will remember when his siblings come along?

So, some things that are happening right now:

Liam's 24 inches long, around 15 pounds (whoa, my arms are getting a workout!). He's teething with buds coming in on the upper left, and lower right parts of his mouth. He loves sucking on his fist and fingers, and if the blanket he's holding gets in the way, so be it! Slobbery blanket it is!

Teething toys are not his favorite because he ends up hurting himself when he gets a little over zealous and chomps down too hard. For now, his and our fingers have soothed him.

Liam hates tummy time. Hates it. He'll tolerate about 10 minutes, and then, BAM. Wailing like I am trying to kill him with the art of tummy squishing and neck muscle workouts. I hope he learns that it's not murder, he's going to be doing this a lot in the next few months, and he better figure out how to roll himself over!

He slept for 11 hours straight 2 days ago which gave mommy and daddy a much needed rest. Hopefully he'll be sleeping through the night continuously soon!

He's so sweet, smiles and coos and laughs when mommy and daddy entertain him. Our buddy is so lovable, and I think he's starting to really love us too :)
