Liam and I headed up to Washington this week to help out with Baby Izabella and let everyone spend a bit more time with Liam. We spent Saturday with the Jensen's just hanging out, went to Tony's with the Garguile's for Grace's birthday on Sunday,went to a Shower for Bella on Monday and Tuesday spent time helping Cindy run a few errands. We've been busy and Liam is worn out come bedtime.

42 weeks
I have taken no additional pictures of Liam since the play date...Yes I realize that makes me a bad mommy. Just know that the next few weeks will be picture heavy since Liam and I will be seeing family.
A few highlights:
This week Liam has really be making progress with opening and closing his hand/waving, repeating one word phrases including Daddy and HOT (we're trying to teach him not to touch the stove). He still only says momma when he cries :(
When Dominic gets home from work he'll usually pull Liam into our room and play with him on the big bed. Liam just loves throwing himself on the big euro pillows and giggling away at all the funny things daddy is doing or saying. Most nights he'll even wrestle with daddy...I'm pretty sure Dominic lets him win.
He's been getting more brave about letting go and has been standing on his own for a few seconds here and there. He's certainly not walking but I don't think we're far from it.
I've started planning Liam's first birthday party, the theme is going to be Dr Seuss and I have a billion ideas up my sleeve.
Again, I realize I'm a terrible mother and I promise to make it up to you soon :)
in the mean time Dominic took a few videos of Liam in his bouncer and I thought they might help you with a little Liam fix
and in this one he's bounced out...he does have a diaper on and was put to bed in his crib just after the this video.

March 2010 babies get together!
We had a little play date with Liam, Liliana, and Elsie so they could play and the mommas could catch up...ok who am I kidding it was so we could catch up and talk coupons ;) Here's a few pictures so you can see just how adorable they are
Zachary giving Liam a taste of his own medicine!

40 and 41 weeks
Just an update for you on the stats from his last appointment:
Height: 28.5 inches
Weight: 21 pounds 5 ounces
Head Circumference: 45cm
Mama has been busy so for the first time ever I'm going to combine weeks 40-41. With the holidays it seems like a good idea anyway
Firsts:
Christmas!!!! Liam didn't really open many of his presents although I wrapped them with the smallest amount of tape possible just in case he wanted to tear them apart. I even did a few bags so all he had to do was pull out the tissue and he wouldn't do that either. Leave it to our child to refuse to destroy something he is SUPPOSE to destroy. Oh well. He got a ton of stuff and I would say the holiday was a major success.
New Years!!! (We love exclamation points around here lately) He slept through the countdown but was up several times through the night as has been the norm for the past 9 months. The fireworks woke him a little after midnight so I suppose that counts as his celebration. No big parties or celebrations for us, New Years eve was spent cleaning up from Christmas and getting the house organized so we could enter 2011 with a clean slate.
Arts and crafts for mama, just wait till you see the adorable ornaments Brooke did with him
What he's up to:
Liam has been standing on his own for a few seconds here and there. He does it most often on the bed which seems funny since it's the most unstable place but that's what he seems to like.
Since his top 4 teeth have been in he's been doing this clicking thing with his teeth that just makes Dominic cringe. I've heard that kids will often grind their teeth for a while after they come in so hopefully this is just a stage. Plus, even though the 6 teeth are well through the surface and I don't see anymore on the way he seems to be chewing on anything in site. His crib has these built in plastic wrap pieces on the sides or else we would have a lifetime momento of his bite impressions.
He's also been moving obstacles. We were using the end table to baracade him from the off limits things in the living room, like dog food and computer plugs, but he's figure out how to push them out of the way. If he can't move them he just climbs through them. Our running after the baby days have just begun.
You might notice I've dropped the foods he's eating and that's because he's eating just about everything with the exception of eggs and honey since those are absolute no no's until after 1yr.
Diaper changes have become a wrestling match
Santa was here!!!!!!
Santa left this piece for me, mom!
What??
Mikey is going to be a favorite too. He's anatomically correct which just cracks me up and Liam hasn't even figured it out yet. I think it'll come in handy when potty training.
OH MY GOSH! This sock monkey hat was something I put on his Amazon wishlist and Nana and Papa got it for him....I LOVE it
Thanks Means's I'm sure this is going to be a hit for YEARS to come. That little star lights up and everything
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! I might not have been born in a barn but now I can play like I was :)
Christmas dinner
Escaping the makeshift gate
Thanks Nana and Papa! We can't wait for it to warm up so I can go on a wagon ride
Be still my mama heart! He made this with Brooke and Braden
We love getting real Christmas cards, and we get alot! We give alot too, I sent out about 100 this year.
Now lets start a little piece called 10 minutes with Liam. Dominic took pictures of him for 8 minutes. I'm going to post about 2/minute so you can get an idea of how crazy he is, he's always moving around and doing new things. This kid certainly does a TON and explores like crazy, see for yourself:
Yeah, the dog food isn't safe anymore. Poor Eclair is lucky if she gets fed once a day. I just took her in for vaccines so she can go to the kennel when we're gone in January and her prior weight was 11.4 and yesterday it was only 10.8. The good news is, this is a much healthier weight for her so as long as she doesn't continue to lose we're doing her a favor.
