I spoke too soon!

Well last night I mentioned how Liam was still toothless. Well that changed today! Both of Liam's bottom two teeth started poking through today! I felt his gums this morning and looked- nothing. Then this afternoon he was jumping in his jumperoo and I could see his gums- and something looked different. Go figure, I touch it with my finger and I could feel TWO teeth poking through! How fun! Guess that explains the runny nose, excessive drooling, and crankiness of the past two weeks :)

September so far

Well there's really not a whole lot of new stuff going on. Things are still going well with Liam. This last week was a little rough on all of us. Liam had the sniffles (still does a little) and was quite needy and fussy for a few days. Then all of the sudden last Thursday I got sick and am just now better. I even missed work all weekend. I don't think I've ever missed work for being sick, let alone for three days in a row. I guess it was some sort of nasty cold. Shawn got it a little too, but thankfully not as bad as myself. Liam just enjoyed lounging around with me watching the start of the NFL season and the US Open!

Liam is still learning a lot. He now is able to communicate with us a little better. When he wants to be picked up or snuggled with he reaches out towards the person he wants attention from. This is so sweet and melts your heart! If you don't get him soon enough he'll just throw himself onto your lap if you're sitting next to him! The evening is now his favorite time of day to play. He loves to give kisses. He also loves getting kisses and usually ends up laughing histerically. It's really quite fun! He's still toothless and is not crawling. These are two big milestones we're anxiously awaiting. He is not on all fours yet, but he does pull his knees up under him (especially this week). We did discover though, that he can stand by himself while holding onto the coffee table. He's not pulling himself up yet, but he can stand after we put him up. 

 

We're looking forward to next week when John and Pam (Shawn's parent's) come to spend 9 days with us! They haven't seen Liam since June so they will have an absolute ball! He has changed so much and can interact so well now.
