10 Months

Not going to lie I'm at a point where everything I do I think "I can't believe I have a son this old?"  I know he isn't old but he is just growing to fast that I'm in shock at how quick he is catching onto things.  It makes me scared to think we want our kids close together and we have to start talking about when we want another!  (WHAT?!)  Anyways....Liam is my world.  Even on the worst days this guy lifts my mood instantly.  When he is awake and ready to get out in the morning he lets out a quick and happy "ah.....ah.....ah....ah" and since he still hasn't said "mama" I'm starting to think my name is either yaya or ah.  If he wants to be picked up he will cling to my shirt and give me a look like "i'm not letting go, might as well pick me up".  He has 3 teeth on top and 4 on the bottom.  He is the quickest crawler and of course from the most recent post you will see that he just took his first steps.  He loves teasing Josh and I and loves when we say "I'm gonna get you" and he laugh/screams while wildly crawling away.  He is very into balls right now.....baseballs and basketballs and bouncy balls.  And throws them across the room then chases after them.  He has also taken an interest in the wall (Sorry Annie, Cody, Craig, and Lane).  He loves banging his head, hand, or whatever toy is in his hand against it.  If there is music playing he is shaking his hand and arms like crazy (Josh says he got Uncle Chambers rythm).  Oh and since the last time I blogged I went insane and bought an over sized teddy bear that basically completes the life of Liam, Josh, and Hendrix.  All of them have napped on it.  On to the pics....in no order at all...

We sent a picture to Josh that said "can we keep him?"

Documenting

I have been meaning to blog lately.  I am putting together a shutterfly book of Liam's first year and it is so helpful to scroll back through the blog and look at quirky things I documented that I had forgotten.  Tonight I had to get on to make sure that I document....LIAM'S FIRST STEPS!  Liam has been standing on his own and acts like he is about to step then chickens out and crawls since he knows it's faster.  We have been encouraging him so much and tonight when Josh got home from work I thought we should give it a try since I've been under the weather and haven't really tried for a few days.  Josh sat on the ground and I sat a few feet away from him making Liam stand up in front of me, it took a few set ups but finally he stepped towards his dad and kept going til he was in his arms!  Josh then turned him around for Liam to come to me and of course he gets down and crawls...I set him up again and he went to Josh.  Luckily on the second try he stepped right to mama into my arms.  Honestly I didn't think it was going to mean so much to me, but to have my babe walk into my arms and be so delighted that we were cheering and clapping was life changing.  Of course none of this was filmed because that was the last thing on my mind.  I will make sure to get some footage of it next time.  Unfortunately Liam came down with the cold I have had the last few days and started getting groggy tonight so it might be a few more days til I see him walk again but I can't wait!!  Josh and I are thrilled and I'm sure soon we will be wishing he wasn't so independent.
