Post from 3 weeks ago

Before I had Liam, I had all of these ideas of things I would and would not do. Knowing some of them would change once he was here. And that is so true! I thought I would never give him a pacifier, never give him formula, never give him Tylenol, not have a problem with letting him cry for a few minutes in his crib before he went to sleep (once he was old enough) and not work outside the home until he was in school.

Well he has had a pacifier, formula a few times and Tylenol twice now, and it is sooo sad hearing him cry for a few minutes before he totally settles down and goes to sleep.

And Friday I worked for 6 hours. I did miss Liam but I really, really enjoyed being with other adults and helping clients. And I am sure I will enjoy getting a paycheck! Liam stayed with my mom and they had a great day. We decided I would work 2 days a month! Woah, I know it's a lot, lol. If at any point I don't want to, I won't and at any point I want to go to 4 a month I will. But for now this is perfect. The money will go to extra expenses like seminary, vacations, Christmas gifts, etc.

We still whole- heartily believe my first priority is taking care and serving our family and our home. But for now I can still give my best to my family and work a few hours a month.

More excitingly Liam laughed for the first time! It seriously gave us more joy than I could have imagined, you would have thought we won a million dollars, Will and I were so excited.

Liam is just precious, we love playing with him, bathing him, feeding him, just loving on him.

Liam and I are headed to Charleston, SC on Sunday, his first flight and I am a bit nervous to do it by myself. I have already started praying he is super quiet on the flight. My sister and her husband got me a ticket to fly down to watch my nephew Chase for the week, their nanny is out of town. Seriously, I can't wait to spend a whole week with Liam and Chase!!! But even better than that I get to spend two weeks! We are having our family vacation the next week, so Will and my Mom, Bobster and Tyler are meeting us down the Next Saturday.

UPDATE- Liam did amazing on the flight, slept right through both flights. So thankful, I am the kind of person that would have had a complete meltdown if he had been fussy :)

Catch Up On Life

Liam is four months old now and his favorite things to do are: roll over, push up, try to talk to daddy, work on getting his teeth in, and eat avocado and squash.

He has been fussy and waking up during the night, I'm assuming from the teething.
We went to dinner and bowling with my Dad and Lindsey for Will's birthday. Let's just say I might have to teach Liam to bowl instead of Will. But that is the only activity/sport, that I will be teaching :)

We have started doing cloth diapering some with Liam and it has been going really well, I still use disposable, I am more supplementing cloth to save money. My friend Holly made Liam that adorable bib he is wearing.

We celebrated Will's 29th Birthday with Spaghetti and Meatballs, Salad and Carrot Cake.
This is Liam after his four month check up, he had to get two shots. But he is a growing boy: 12 pounds and 25 inches long. I think he looks mad at me in this picture! Ha!

I neglected to update my weight last week. I'm still 149. I am beginning to wonder if most of the weight will stay on until I finish nursing Liam.
