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.
