At least this time I have an excuse. School is back in session and every year I forget how tired I get at the beginning...

You are still an excellent eater most of the time. You do go through phases of not loving certain foods that seemed to be your favorite just days before, but most days you eat very well. You still love <b>fruit of all kinds, macaroni, cheese, eggs, and hummus</b>. You are still drinking <b>whole milk</b> and are only drinking that with your meals. You have <b>water</b> in between meals and are no longer drinking anything before bed.<br />

As the summer was winding down and Mama was getting ready to go back to work, we tried to keep you on a consistent schedule most days. You are awake <b>between 6:00 and 6:30 </b>and you explore around the house for a bit while Mommy and Daddy get ready for work. On the days you go to school, you eat <b>breakfast</b> around 6:45. On the days you are home with Nana, you usually don't have anything until closer to 7:30 (you usually sleep a little later on those days as well). At school, you have <b>another "breakfast" </b>around 9:00 and eat lunch at 11:30. You take a <b>nap at school </b>(on a good day) from 12:30-2:30. When you are home with Nana or on the weekends, you still sometimes need a morning nap. If you take a morning nap, you will do <b>another nap around 3:00</b>. We do dinner around <b>5:45</b> and you are asleep by <b>7:30 </b>on most nights.</div>

You are so into <b>big trucks, buses, and anything that moves</b> lately. During our walks, you love to point out <b>mail trucks, diggers, and dump trucks</b>. You are all boy! You still love <b>going outside to play</b> and we are soaking up every last minute of nice weather. You love <b>looking at books</b> and will bring them over to us to read with you. You still love <b>Max's water and food dishes</b> and have managed to dump several bowls of water all over the place in recent days. You still love <b>walks in your stroller </b>and <b>going to the library to play with all the toys there</b>. You like to play with all <b>the kitchen tools </b>and will <b>make noise with anything you can</b> (including banging bowls and spoons on the glass slider doors!). You also love to <b>roll around, jump and play</b> on Mommy and Daddy's bed.</div>

Despite your moments of true toddler-style split personality, you really are a great little boy. You get so <b>animated </b>when you are excited and flash that <b>amazing smile </b>to anyone who is looking. However, you are exerting your <b>independence </b>and making it known that you are here and want to make decisions. We are working on setting limits, giving you consequences, and helping you to understand right and wrong as much as is possible at your age. </div>

This month, you learned how to <b>"knock" </b>on a door when you want to go in and Daddy taught you how to <b>do a fist bump</b>. Nana taught you how to do <b>Ring Around the Rosey</b> and you think it's hysterical to fall down at the end. You have also been using a <b>spoon and fork</b> with more accuracy (although it's still quite a mess with the spoon!). You learned to <b>climb</b> on things this month and get so excited when you climb on top of the slide or your rocking chair and then "jump" into our arms.</div>

This month, you went to the <b>zoo</b> for the first time with Mommy and Daddy. You really enjoyed watching the elephants and giraffes. You had a <b>playdate </b>with all three of your girlfriends and were very sweet to the babies. The biggest thing this month was that you started <b>school </b>two days a week. You also <b>played at the beach with some friends</b> and actually enjoyed it!<br />

How is <b>school</b> going?<br />
You started school during the last week in August. We did a trial run before Mommy actually went back to school and you did one short day and one longer day that week. Now that Mommy is back in school full time, you are going on Thursday and Friday from 7:45-3:45. So far, you have been doing well and seem to enjoy going there (Mommy on the other hand cries about it regularly). You <b>love to play outside</b> and have even gone to the playground on a little "field trip." You have painted and played in sensory bins. Your eating and napping have been going well while you are at school on most days. Just this week (which is technically part of your 17 month post), you have started to get more <b>clingy and cry when I leave you there in the morning</b>. It completely breaks my heart to see you sad and upset, but you have recovered and done well for the rest of the day (I obviously called to check in on you!).<br />

This month, we will do some <b>fall</b> activities (apple picking, playing with leaves) and spend a weekend in <b>Connecticut </b>to celebrate some special birthdays. We will also celebrate <b>Daddy's birthday</b> toward the end of the month. You will also get your <b>first haircut</b>...Mommy isn't thrilled about this, but the hair is in your eyes and driving you crazy! We are also going to soak up the nice weather with lots of outside time.<br />

We visited Dr. G. earlier this week and you weighed in at <b>31 pounds, 1 ounce</b>. You are <b>32 inches tall</b>. You are above average in both height and weight, but your giant head size has started to level off! Dr. G. was happy with everything that's been going on with you and said you seem like a great kid (Mommy and Daddy agreed!). Mommy talked to him a little about your <b>speech</b> (or lack thereof) and he didn't seem concerned at this point. We are going to wait it out for a bit and see how things go in the next few months. </div>

Eating continues to be one of your favorite things to do (see your stats above!). You haven't tried anything new this month, but still enjoy all your staples - <b>fruit, macaroni, chicken, yogurt, and cheese</b>. You are using a <b>spoon and fork</b> with a little more independence, although it does make meals even messier! You are still drinking <b>whole milk</b>, but everything is now in a straw cup...no more bottles in this house! You haven't been too interested in much milk before bed, so we are thinking it won't be long before you are going to bed without any. </div>

Things have changed a little with your <b>sleep </b>this month, mostly to try to get you ready for daycare (more on that later). You are awake most mornings by <b>6:30</b>, although when Daddy was on vacation you were sleeping until at least 7:00. Once your diaper is changed, you get your <b>cup of milk</b> and roam the house while Daddy gets ready for work and Mommy gets organized for the day. We usually do <b>breakfast around 7:30</b>. If we are out and about in the morning (errands, swim class, etc.), you don't take a morning nap. Lunch is a little earlier on those days because you are ready to go down for a <b>nap by 12:30ish</b>. On a good day, you sleep for about two hours. If you do take a morning nap, you nap later in the afternoon and those naps tend to be an hour to an hour and a half each. <b>Dinner is around 5:30</b> and you are still asleep by <b>7:30 most nights</b>.</div>

You still love <b>walks in your stroller and wagon</b> and Mommy even got brave enough to take Max with us on our wagon walks (it's a hot mess but you both enjoy it!). You like to <b>snuggle with your giant stuffed bear</b> and will tackle it on the floor. You love <b>looking at pictures and videos of yourself</b> and have been "playing" with your <b>reflection in the mirror</b>. You also love <b>anything with a straw</b> and Mommy and Daddy can't leave their drinks around unless they want them to get swiped! You are a huge fan of <b>lawn mowers and big construction vehicles.</b></div>

Living with a toddler is kinda like living with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One minute, life is fabulous and wonderful and the next, there is a full blown meltdown for no apparent reason. You are certainly in the throes of toddler-dom, my friend. You have taken to minor tantrums and will definitely cry and kick if you are upset. You are also a <b>hitter</b> and <b>attempt to bite</b>. A lot of this has to do with inability to verbally communicate what you want. You try to tell us something with pointing or noises, we don't understand, you get frustrated and then do a split onto the floor while you scream. You are usually able to be <b>redirected </b>pretty easily ("Liam, let's go find Max." "Liam let's go play with the bowls and spoons.") and are still a sweet and happy kid for the most part.</div>

This month, you learned to <b>blow kisses </b>(well half blow kisses - you put your hand up to your mouth). You also can now do the signs for <b>open and timer </b>(we made this one up to show when you wanted the oven timer on). You have half of <b>the sign for thank you </b>as well. You are learning about "<b>nice boy hands</b>" - for you this means gently scratching someone. Let Mommy explain this one...several weeks ago when you were hitting Max, we showed you how to scratch his back and "do nice" to him. Now, anytime we tell you to use "nice boy hands" to us, you "scratch" us like you would do to Max! It's better than hitting! You have also learned to <b>stick your finger up your nose</b> and you think it's pretty funny when you do it. You <b>put your hands up in the air when someone asks you a question</b> you don't know the answer to as if you are saying "I don't know."</div>

You still don't have any words and as mentioned above, the doctor isn't concerned yet. Mommy and Daddy aren't either, but it helps to hear it from the doctor too. Your receptive vocabulary is awesome and you understand so much of what we say. We are encouraging you to say something anytime you want something, instead of only pointing and making noises. So, when Mommy tells you to say "phone" and you come out with an eight syllable "word", at least you are realizing you need to say something! </div>

What is Mommy and Daddy's <b>Parents of the Year moment </b>this month?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This one is all Mommy. You were playing in Mommy and Daddy's bedroom with Mommy one afternoon. With Mommy standing right there, you tripped over your own feet and <b>your mouth hit the side rail of the bed</b>. You instantly started screaming and all Mommy saw was <b>blood</b>. You had managed to hit just under your lip against the bed and there was a pretty big cut. It didn't take you too long to settle down, but the bleeding would not stop. We were very close to taking you to the hospital to see if you needed stitches. The bleeding finally stopped after what felt like hours and you were completely fine by that evening. Mommy is still recovering!</div>

This month has been a busy one for firsts. You went <b>swimming in the pond</b> for the first time with Daddy. You also <b>started swim classes at the YMCA</b>. You were not pleased for the first 10 minutes or so of the first class (the water was a little chilly), but now you absolutely love it. You splash and kick and don't want to leave when class is over. You went <b>blueberry picking</b> at the farm. You took your <b>first ride on an airplane</b> to North Carolina. You did very well, although being confined on Mommy's lap got old real fast. You went to your first <b>wedding </b>while we were down there, but you were home in bed before the real fun started. You also <b>helped Daddy mow the lawn</b> and <b>rode on a turtle's back</b>.</div>

<br />
Side note - Liam's 15 month post is coming. We go for his check-up on Monday, so I am waiting for official stats before I publish the monthly update.<br />
<br />
Okay, back to the acronym.<br />
<br />
OAD = One And Done<br />
<br />
NBC = Not By Choice<br />
<br />
So, in essence, it means only having one child but not because that's how you want it to be.<br />
<br />
In case you didn't pick up the news yet, frobaby did not implant. It did not think my uterus was a fun place to hang out for nine (ten) months and I am therefore completely and totally not pregnant.<br />
<br />
My beta was yesterday morning (huge bruise from the blood draw obviously) and the nurse called in the afternoon with the news. It was not a shocker to be honest. <br />
<br />
I had been spotting since late last week and had that "my period is coming any second now" feeling (despite the fact that the huge needles were supposed to stop that from happening). I didn't feel the "twinges" I had with Liam and something in me really just knew I wasn't pregnant. Didn't make hearing the "unfortunately, you are not pregnant" news any easier, just expected.<br />
<br />
Hubs and I agreed before this FET that if it didn't work, we weren't going to do another fresh cycle. We are getting to the point where we are paying off some large debts that we have incurred over the years and while our insurance covers a whole lot of the costs with IVF, we still have a large co-pay. Plus, the emotional and physical tolls associated with another fresh cycle are huge and I'm just not sure I can handle it. On top of that, there's no guarantee it would work. We were ridiculously lucky to get pregnant on our first IVF cycle and I don't know if it would happen on the first try again.<br />
<br />
So, we are a one child family. I would be completely full of shit if I said I wasn't disappointed about that. I want Liam to have a (non furry) sibling. I want him to grow up with another kid around. I want him to have someone after we are gone (I know that's morbid but it's one of my thoughts).<br />
<br />
I am still dealing with the emotional repercussions of this. I never get to be pregnant again. I never get to watch a baby dance inside me on an ultrasound machine again. I never get to feel those amazing kicks and jabs again. I never get to feel like freaking Super Woman for giving birth to a baby with no meds again. I never get to experience the newborn smell again. I never get to use all those teeny tiny clothes again. <br />
<br />
I love Liam with every ounce of my being and as I sit here typing with the video monitor next to me watching him toss and turn in his crib because another damn tooth is coming in and tears streaming down my cheeks, I know in my heart that he (and Hubs and Max) are enough. I know that we are a happy family with an exorbitant amount of blessings. I know that God made me that little boy's mother to teach me about unconditional love and how infinite that love can be.<br />
<br />
But right now, I also know that I am sad and this completely sucks.<br />

<br />
I got my period very shortly after the last post and started Estrace that day. It did cause some headaches, but not as bad as <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-one-with-side-effects.html" target="_blank">the tap dancing leprechauns</a>. I took it twice a day for 12 days.<br />
<br />
While I was on that, my PIO meds and super stabby needles arrived. There are two bags of needles here, one with the syringe and one with just needles. I draw up the med from the vial using a thicker needle and inject with a thinner one (both 1 1/2 inches long though!).<br />
<br />

<br />
On the 18th, I increased the Estrace to three times a day.<br />
<br />
On the morning of the 19th, I went in for my baseline ultrasound to check on my fabulous uterus and see how things were looking in there. The nurse was kinda cranky that day but she did say that everything looked great and my stripe was perfect. She told me I'd get a call from one of the nurses later that day with my instructions.<br />
<br />
When the nurse called, she told me I was going to start PIO that night and continue taking the Estrace. I had to call the lab on Wednesday and they would let me know how frobaby was doing and schedule my transfer for Thursday the 24th if all looked good.<br />
<br />
I will do a separate post about the PIO, but it really hasn't been that bad. Hubs has been amazing and even though he gets super nervous beforehand, he has been doing my shots each night like a champ.<br />
<br />
When I called the lab on Wednesday afternoon, the embryologist told me everything looked good and that I was to come in on Thursday at 9:30 for my transfer.<br />
<br />
So, yesterday morning, Hubs took Liam to swim class (so sad I missed seeing them in the pool together) and I sat in massive amounts of traffic to get to the center. If you remember from <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-one-with-thing-1-and-thing-2.html" target="_blank">Thing 1 and Thing 2's transfer</a>, I need a full bladder for this procedure. So that was awesome sitting in traffic having to pee.<br />
<br />
Things went well during the actual transfer. The embryologist showed me a picture of frobaby and said it looked great. One of the other doctors in the practice that I hadn't met yet did the actual procedure and he was extremely calm and peaceful during the whole thing. Frobaby got loaded up in the catheter and even though I wasn't able to see a great picture on the ultrasound screen this time (the machine was being wonky), the doctor said he put frobaby in a great spot up in there.<br />
<br />
I came home and rested for a bit (really for about 3 minutes before L needed something) and now we just wait. I have a beta blood test scheduled for a couple of weeks from now when I get back from vacation and hopefully it will be good news. We know there is such a small chance of this leading to a viable pregnancy, but it is completely out of our hands now.<br />
<br />
I leave you with one more picture that has my hospital bracelet and the top of frobaby's former home. We saved everything from the procedures that got us L and will do the same with this little one.<br />

<br />
As most "normal" (read: not reproductively challenged) people will eventually do, Hubs and I began the discussion of a second baby over the past few months. It seems we have amnesia about the sleepless nights and the <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-one-with-breastfeeding-saga.html" target="_blank">breastfeeding fiasco</a> and the explosive poops of newborn baby-ness. Nevertheless, we started to talk about <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-one-with-frobaby.html" target="_blank">frobaby</a>. <br />
<br />
If you have been reading for a while, you may remember that we had one embryo viable for freezing at the end of our fresh IVF cycle in August 2012. This frobaby has been chillin' (literally) at our clinic waiting for us to make a decision about him/her.<br />
<br />
Little background on my vag, ute, and ovaries lately before I get to what the plan is...<br />
<br />
I went for my yearly gynecologist appointment in April and talked to Dr. B. about my weird periods. In the last six months or so, my periods have had a mind of their own. There's spotting, there's bleeding like a freakin' open wound, and there's waaaay too many days of it every month. My gyno took a biopsy of the cells in my ute to check for the scary stuff (cancer, etc.) and the only thing he found was some inflammation which could have been a possible infection. So, he put me on an antibiotic and said we would most likely need to do a saline sonohysterogram to further investigate my lady bits. <br />
<br />
Fast forward 10 days...<br />
<br />
I called and requested the SIS because I wouldn't really know if the antibiotic worked until my next period and I didn't want to wait that long. I went in for my SIS in late May and Dr. B. told me my uterus looked "textbook perfect." In fact, he mentioned wishing he had med students in the office so he could show them my "perfect" ute. I'm adding that to my resume by the way - "awesome freaking uterus." So no real answer for the screwy periods, but he mentioned the possibility of small polyps that he couldn't see and said I could have a D&C to scrape out my uterus (sounds pleasant huh). I mentioned that Hubs and I had been talking about a possible second kiddo and he said to talk to Dr. Bow Tie about the situation and go from there.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a month later...<br />
<br />
I go in for my consult with Dr. Bow Tie about a FET (frozen embryo transfer). I mention the recent SIS to him (he wanted to do one before the transfer anyway to check things out) and he says if all looks good once he gets the images from Dr. B., I can start the process with my next cycle. Hubs and I would both need routine blood work first to check for STDs and the such, but there really wasn't much prep before we started moving on things. Holy goodness, I guess this is really happening!<br />
<br />
I met with my nurse and she went over the whole process and med protocol with me. It is ridiculously "easy" compared to a fresh cycle with way less meds and much less monitoring and probing.<br />
<br />
Once my period started, I would begin taking Estrace twice a day. This is an estrogen pill that, in combination with my other med, helps to thicken the lining of my ute in preparation for transfer. I take this for 12 days and then increase to three times a day on day 13. On day 14, I go in for an ultrasound to check my lining. If things look good (meaning it's lush and gorgeous looking), I start my second med.<br />
<br />
And then she dropped the sucky bomb...<br />
<br />
My second med was progesterone in oil (PIO) instead of a vag pill. They have found more success with frozen cycles by using the PIO. Well that is good news. The bad news is that this med is an intramuscular shot with a huge needle. Remember when I <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-one-with-first-stabbing.html" target="_blank">stressed out about subcutaneous shots</a>? Awww that girl was cute with her worry. This is gonna suck way more. I will inject this med once a day (actually Hubs will most likely do it because it's in my ass and I won't be able to reach) and do it through the first 10ish weeks of pregnancy if this transfer is successful.<br />
<br />
The transfer will be scheduled for 5 days after the ultrasound if my lining is cooperative. Then we do the dreaded two week wait again, get my blood drawn for a beta pregnancy test, and pray like hell it worked.<br />
<br />
When I left the office that day, the nurse instructed me to call the insurance and pharmacy companies and make sure everything looked okay on that end, talk to the financial lady at the center so she could go over what our co-pay would be, and then call when my period started.<br />
<br />
Soooo, the short story is...we are crazy enough to be trying for a second little one (who technically would be L's fraternal twin) and once again praying and hoping like crazy the whole process goes smoothly and gives us another baby.<br />

We are hoping to cut out the morning bottle in the next month or so and just give you milk in a cup in the morning with your breakfast.

Your sleeping and eating habits have remained pretty consistent this month, although Mommy and Daddy have messed with them a little because of some weekend happenings (you took it all in stride though!). Most mornings, you are ready to start your day by around <b>6:30</b> and enjoy a bottle of whole milk in your room. We do <b>breakfast by 7:30ish </b>and you are ready for a morning nap between <b>9:30 and 10:00</b>. You usually nap for an hour to an hour and a half in the morning. <b>Lunch is around noontime</b> and you are down for an <b>afternoon nap by 2:30ish</b>. This one is also usually an hour to an hour and a half. We have dinner between 5:30 and 6:00 and you are still <b>asleep by 7:30 most nights</b>.</div>

You are happy anytime you can be <b>outside</b>...you stand at the sliders and sign "please" while pointing outside multiple times a day. You have so much fun playing with your <b>water table</b> and dumping all the water onto yourself. This month, you have shown a much greater interest in <b>books </b>(more on that below) and will bring them over to us and sign "please" for us to read them to you. You like to <b>push buttons </b>(phones, remotes, etc.) and have discovered you can <b>climb on things</b>. You love the app <b><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/peekaboo-barn/id300590611?mt=8" target="_blank">Peekaboo Barn</a> </b>and get so excited when the music comes on at the beginning. <b>Walks in your stroller</b> are a daily occurrence and it's a way to keep you amused and contained!</div>

This month, you learned to <b>stand from sitting</b> and it's pretty cute to watch you stick your bum up in the air when you are trying to stand up. You are able to follow more and more <b>commands </b>each day - "Liam, give that to Mommy. Liam, let's go to your room for a rest. Liam, take Max's toy out of your mouth!" You can <b>identify body parts on both yourself and others</b>. You are now <b>smelling </b>everything, including food before it goes in your mouth. You hold <b>phones up to your ears</b> and are getting better at <b>throwing balls and things out of your playpen or laundry basket in the tub</b>.<b> </b>You also recognize people in pictures and associate the names to the pictures. You are <b>signing "all done" </b>and we are working on several others.</div>

Still no actual words yet, but there are a lot of beginning sounds. Mommy thinks you say<b> "whoa"</b> with meaning behind it pretty consistently, but I'm not sure we can count that as your first word! You recognize<b> school busses</b> and will say /b/ whenever you see one. You also say the /r/ sound when you see a truck. </div>

So remember how last month Mommy was convinced that you held the record for the most teeth coming in at once? No sooner had that post been put up, then we discovered <b>3 more teeth coming in</b>! You now have <b>15 teeth </b>and number 16 isn't far behind. So all we have left are your 2 year molars!</div>

We don't go back to see Dr. G. until August but I'm guessing you are around <b>27 pounds</b>. You don't seem to have gotten too much taller based on how your pants are fitting, but you are looking so much more like a toddler every day. You have a whole head full of <b>blond hair</b> and Daddy keeps talking about getting you a hair cut (not happening!).</div>

You continue to be an eating machine and will shovel just about anything we give you into your mouth. This month, Mommy gave you a few more "unhealthy" choices for foods while we were eating at some restaurants. You had <b>chowder and clam cakes, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, kielbasa, and hot dogs</b>. You also tried your first taste of <b>donut cake</b> at your birthday party. <b>Fruit </b>continues to be your favorite thing to eat, but you do still love hummus, macaroni, meatballs, and peanut butter. After your one-year wellness visit with Dr. G. we go the go ahead to try <b>whole milk </b>and we haven't looked back since. You now get <b>one 6-ounce bottle of whole milk</b> in the morning when you first wake up and <b>one 6-ounce bottle of whole milk </b>before bed. You have sippy or straw cups of milk with your meals and water in between.</div>

Ever since you started walking (and trying to run most days!), your sleeping habits during the day have really changed. You are typically awake between <b>6:00 and 6:30</b> <b>most mornings</b> and you have your bottle with Mommy in your room. Your breakfast is usually around 7:45-8:00, depending on what time you get up. On most days, you are ready for a <b>nap between 9:30 and 10:00</b>. This nap is now at least an hour in length (and you slept for 3 hours the other day!), but can sometimes be closer to two hours depending on how tired you are. You have lunch around <b>noontime </b>and take another nap by <b>2:30ish</b> on most days. If you take a longer nap in the morning, you have been known to skip an afternoon nap...makes the early evenings before bed time suuuper fun! We have dinner between 5:30 and 6:00 and you are still <b>asleep by 7:30 most nights</b>.</div>

You are wearing <b>18 month and 18-24 month clothes</b>, although a few 12-18 month clothes do still fit. You are still in <b>size 4 Pampers Cruisers </b>during the day.

You love to <b>move everywhere</b> and have taken to running around the house whenever you can. You absolutely LOVE <b>being outside</b> and got some great new toys for playing outside for your birthday. You are <b>obsessed with the timer on the kitchen stove</b> and will sit and stare at it while it counts down from a minute. You are taking more of an interest in <b>books</b> lately and will bring them to us to read to you. You still love to <b>drive Max crazy </b>and try to "play" ball with him regularly. Everything <b>still goes in your mouth</b> and you still love <b>the top to Nana's cup, the spatulas and spoons, and the dog's toys</b>. You enjoy making noise of any sort - <b>screeching, screaming, or banging </b>being at the top of your list. You like to <b>dance to the music channel on TV </b>and always love to <b>roll around on Mommy and Daddy's bed</b>. You love the water and think dumping <b>Max's water bowl out</b> is a game.</div>

There honestly isn't too much that you don't like, except when <b>told no</b> when there is something that you really want (case in point - the picture below). You can get awfully wiggly and crabby <b>on the changing table</b>, making diaper changes a bit of a challenge lately. You do not like <b>time out</b> and are starting to learn the concept of consequences.</div>

You have learned a lot of new things this month in the language department (although you are not saying actual words). You can <b>wave hi and bye</b> and <b>will share an object when we ask you to</b>. You can now <b>sign "please" </b>and will do it constantly to show us that you want something. You are able to <b>squat down</b> to pick something up. You will <b>hold our hand and bring us to what you want </b>(like jumping on the bed).</div>

You have started to say <b>mama </b>more, but we still aren't quite sure you understand the meaning behind it. You are trying to get words out and will attempt to repeat a sound after we say it, but I wouldn't say there are any actual words yet. You can still <b>follow simple commands </b>and understand a lot of what we say - especially if we mention <b>going outside or in the stroller</b>!</div>

I think you may hold the record for the most teeth coming in at one time. While we knew that<b> </b>two molars were coming in at the beginning of the month, we were shocked to find out that <b>all four molars were coming in at once</b>! You handled it like a champ and now have <b>12 teeth</b>!<br />

<br>
The theme for the party was <i>The Very Hungry Caterpillar</i>, based on the book by Eric Carle. I have always loved this children's book and I thought the bright colors would be so fun for his party. Plus, I could sneak in my love of polka dots without making it too girly!<br>
<br>
I worked with awesome shops on Etsy and was able to have some great items customized for the party.<br>
<br>
The invitation was from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LCDesigns615" target="_blank">LCDesigns615</a> and Lisa was very accommodating with my changes and requests. She is doing a thank you card for us too.<br>

I found a shop that had a whole VHC themed decor package that included signs and labels and favor tags. This was super helpful because, while I knew I was crafty enough to put decor items together, I really didn't have the time or the ability to design all the items.</div>

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KiyomiDesigns" target="_blank">Kiyomi Designs</a> was another awesome shop and there were both generic and personalized items that came with the package. I didn't use them all, but here are a few pictures of the items we did use.</div>

I also had a birthday poster made that we used for Liam's one-year pictures a few weeks ago. We hung it up at his party, even though some of the info had changed (like his 8 teeth have now become 12 and his cruising around the furniture has turned into running around the house!).</div>

I was tempted to do the foods from the VHC but with 50+ people coming to the house, it was going to be rather challenging to serve plums, salami and cherry pie (to name a few) that the caterpillar eats as opposed to good ol' fashioned hamburgers and hot dogs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, we did a cook out with the typical salads and sides and everyone enjoyed eating and mingling.</div>

If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that donut cakes are a pretty serious tradition around here. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AlliesDonuts" target="_blank">Allie's Donuts</a> makes the most amazing cakes in the world and we have them for every celebration in this family. Therefore, it was only fitting that they would do a caterpillar cake for Liam's birthday. We also had a caterpillar made from cupcakes and a smash cake caterpillar head for Liam made by my very talented colleague at school.</div>

Liam did have cake on the weekend of his birthday when we did his one-year pictures and cake smash, so he had tasted cake before. He didn't dig right in, but with a zillion people snapping pictures and talking to him, I think he was a little stunned. For the most part, we fed the cake to him, but he did dig around in it a bit.</div>

<br />
Another post tomorrow about his party once I finally download all the pictures!<br />
<br />
I had a doctor's appointment that morning, so I was home from school and got to spend the day with the little man.<br />
<br />
That morning, I made funfetti pancakes for Liam. It was a really easy recipe that I adapted from several different places. A box of funfetti cake mix, couple eggs, some oil, and a little water until I reached the right consistency. I also added more rainbow sprinkles because duh, who doesn't want more sprinkles on your birthday?<br />
<br />

We had matching tops from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SaSeaDecor" target="_blank">SaSeaDecor</a>. The owner paired with Jessica of <a href="http://littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Little Baby Garvin</a> to create shirts and sweatshirts using one of Jessica's chalkboard designs. They were perfect for Mr. Man's Cinco de Mayo birthday. They say "fiesta like there's no manana" and I have been living in the sweatshirt for the last month!<br />

We went for your one-year well visit on May 6th and all is well! You weigh<b> 26 pounds, 7 ounces</b>, which puts you in the 90th percentile for weight. You are <b>30 1/2 inches</b> tall, which puts you in the 75th percentile for height. Dr. G. and Mommy talked all about your latest developments and how you were eating, sleeping, and all your newfound skills. He was throughly impressed with your walking skills (more on that later in this post) and gave us the green light to <b>start whole milk</b>. We talked about a <b>schedule</b> for eating and milk drinking and he went over the shots you were going to get. Unfortunately, you ended up with <b>three shots </b>(MMR, chicken pox, and bacterial meningitis) and <b>one routine finger stick to check your lead levels</b>. You were not a happy camper with all those needles, but you did calm down after some loving from Mommy and Nana.</div>

You continue to impress everyone with your eating skills. You had a short period this month where you weren't eating as much, but it turned out to be another tooth coming in (more on that later!). This month, you tried <b>watermelon, blackberries, grapes, pizza, shrimp scampi, and egg salad</b>. You eat <b>three meals</b> a day and definitely let us know if a meal is late! You still love <b>any and all kinds of fruit</b>. Earlier this month, you started to "refuse" some of your late morning and afternoon bottles. You would drink some of them, but were consistently not finishing them. So, we decided to give you fewer ounces of formula during the day. At this point, you drink <b>one 8-ounce bottle </b>first thing in the morning when you wake up and then <b>two 4-ounce bottles</b> throughout the rest of the day. You still have <b>one 4-ounce bottle </b>before bed and are drinking <b>Similac Advance </b>in all your bottles.<br />

Your schedule has stayed pretty consistent this month. You are awake between <b>6:00 and 6:30</b> <b>most mornings</b> and you have your first bottle of the day with Mommy in your room. Once Mommy and Daddy leave for work, you have <b>breakfast with Nana</b> in the kitchen. You are usually <b>ready for your first nap by around 9ish</b>. This nap ranges from 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on how long you decide to stay in your crib! You have <b>another little bottle around 11ish</b> and eat lunch a little after noontime. You are getting ready for <b>another nap by 1:30-2:00 on most days</b>. This naps tends to be longer, although there are days you survive on 60 minutes of total nap time! You are still <b>asleep most nights by 7:15</b>.</div>

You can still wear a few <b>12 month onesies</b>, but are in <b>18 month clothes</b> for the most part (the pants are still a little long though). You are still in <b>size 4 Pampers Cruisers </b>during the day and <b>size 5 Pampers Extra Dry </b>at night. You have had some leaking issues lately, especially on the nights when you are more restless, so Mommy started putting an extra absorbency pad inside your diaper at night to help. So far, so good.</div>

Does making Mommy, Daddy, and Nana tired count?! You definitely like to <b>move all over the place</b> and are having quite a fun time having everyone follow you around. You love <b>flirting </b>with all the women and girls you meet. You <b>laugh hysterically </b>when someone "chases" you and you still love to <b>roll around on Mommy and Daddy's bed</b>. You love to <b>explore the cabinets, open doors, kiss yourself in the mirror, and dance to music</b>. You still love <b>the Weather Scan </b>channel and it will always calm you down. <br />

You are officially a <b>walker</b> little boy! When we were in Maine for Easter, you did a lot of walking while holding someone's hand and by the time we came home, you were off! You are <b>walking all over the place</b> and the new bumps and bruises all over your head are a clear indication that you are still a little unsteady at times. You can <b>sign "more" and "all done"</b>. We are working on please and thank you. You can <b>climb up and down the few stairs </b>we have in the house but we have yet to try a full set of stairs. You can <b>put shapes inside the holes</b> of your toys, although they don't always match up to the correct shape. You can <b>clap</b> your hands and love to do it when the music is on.</div>

Mommy was right about more teeth little man! Last week, during your bath, I put my finger in your mouth to check and you bit right down with <b>your first molar</b>. It is on the top left and your top right one is just at the surface. So that makes <b>nine, almost ten, teeth</b>! *After we went to the doctor today, Dr. G. informed us that your <b>bottom right molar</b> is also right at the surface, so we are almost at 11 teeth!</div>

Mommy and Daddy can't take credit for this happening on their watch but we still felt pretty awful about it (Nana felt horrible about it!). A couple of weeks ago, before you started walking on your own, you were still holding onto the wall and doors to cruise around the house. You missed the door when you were walking and <b>tumbled forward onto your face</b>. Your <b>mouth and lip instantly started bleeding</b> and we discovered the next day that you had actually <b>chipped your front right tooth just a little</b>. You were a little swollen for a bit, but you loved eating all that ice!<br />

This stroller from my most favorite company isn't even out yet, but this mama is already drooling over it. I truly love our stroller (Britax B-Ready) but would love this for quick errands when I don't need as much storage space. A mom can dream right?</div>

We haven't seen Dr. G. since your 9 month appointment in February, but I am guessing you are somewhere around 27 pounds at this point. You have definitely gotten taller since then as well. Things that were out of reach just a few weeks ago are suddenly being touched with those chubby little fingers. You have a <b>full head of blond hair</b> that gets a little <b>curly</b> when it gets wet. Those <b>blue eyes</b> appear to be sticking around (yet another trait you get from your Daddy). </div>

You have done much better this month with sleeping continuously through the night and Mommy and Daddy have really let you figure out how to self-soothe lately. You are getting better at finding your <b>Taggies blanket</b> or <b>binkie</b> during the night and that helps you fall back to sleep. Sometimes, you <b>sit up in your crib </b>but you usually fall back over within a few seconds and are sleeping again soon.</div>

Your sleeping and eating schedule hasn't changed much this month. You typically wake up <b>between 6:30 and 7:00</b> and have your first bottle of the day after a diaper change. You spend some time <b>crawling and climbing </b>while Mommy and Daddy finish getting ready for work. Your breakfast is usually <b>around 8:30</b> and you are taking your<b> first nap by</b> <b>9:30ish</b>. We can't seem to get this nap to last more than 30-40 minutes in your crib. You have your<b> second bottle between 10:30 and 11:00</b>. Lunch is still around <b>12:15 </b>and you play for a while before your next nap. This nap is usually longer and Nana is lucky if she gets an hour, often with half of the nap occurring in her arms. Your <b>third bottle is between 3:00 and 3:30, depending on what time you wake up</b>. We have <b>dinner around 5:30 </b>and you are in your crib by <b>7:15 every night</b>, usually falling right asleep.</div>

No changes to your bedtime routine around here...we are not messing with success! Your <b>bath</b> happens around <b>6:45</b> and you love playing with your toys and splashing around. You change into <b>jammies and have your little bottle</b> after your bath. We <b>read a story </b>and <b>sing a song</b> before you go in your crib.</div>

You are outgrowing just about everything we have around here (like Mommy needs an excuse to go shopping!). Your <b>12 month clothes </b>are barely fitting (especially the pajamas), but you do still fit in some <b>12-18 month clothes</b>. You are still wearing <b>size 4 Pampers Cruisers</b> during the day and we have switched to <b>size 5 Pampers Extra Dry </b>at night.</div>

You are still loving to be in <b>motion </b>at all times. You move so quickly that it is hard to keep up! You will <b>dance and bounce on your legs</b> whenever music comes on. You love to look at (and eat!) <b>books</b>. Some of your favorites are <i>Guess How Much I Love You?</i>, <i>Goodnight Moon</i>, and <i>Little Blue Truck</i>. You love <b>pushing</b> <b>buttons </b>and thoroughly enjoy <b>grabbing everyone's phones </b>at every chance you get. You like <b>playing with the pillows on the couch </b>and <b>rolling around on Mommy and Daddy's bed</b>. You still love <b>your buddy, Max</b> and never miss an opportunity to crawl all over him. You have a great time <b>people watching</b>, whether we are in a restaurant or out walking in your stroller. You love your <b>binkie</b>, especially when you are feeling tired or cranky.</div>

Oh we had some big moments this month, little buddy! A couple weeks ago, you started <b>letting go</b> of what you were holding onto to <b>stand by yourself for short periods of time</b>. Mommy, Daddy, and Nana knew taking steps wasn't far behind. Sure enough, within a couple of days, you started <b>taking steps between the coffee table and the couch</b>. We are up to 3 or 4 steps at a time, but it is mostly between two objects as opposed to out in the "open." You can <b>clap your own hands together</b> and are giving <b>kisses and hugs</b> all the time. You also managed to learn how to <b>open doors</b>.</div>

We saw Dr. G. two weeks ago and you weighed in at <b>25 pounds, 1 ounce</b>, which puts you in the 95 percentile for weight. You are <b>28 inches</b> tall. Your head circumference is still off the charts, but we knew that was coming! Dr. G. was so very happy with everything you are doing and and you got great scores on your developmental profile. We talked about <b>what you eat, your newfound crawling and cruising skills, and your schedule</b>. You didn't even have to get any shots, but you did get some eyedrops for your first case of <b>pink eye</b>, which showed up the morning of your doctor's appointment.</div>

On the day you turned 9 months old, Mommy decided to try to cut you down to <b>three 8-ounce bottles of Similac Advance</b> a day. Your sleeping schedule made it hard to get all four bottles and your meals in every day. You did so well with this change and we haven't looked back since. You now eat <b>three meals a day </b>in addition to your bottles. This month, you tried <b>mango, chicken sausage, pesto, grilled cheese, yogurt (on a spoon as opposed to frozen), pastina, oranges, French toast, mashed potatoes and spinach, French fries, and peanut butter</b>. You absolutely love <b>strawberries</b> and would eat them at every meal if Mommy would let you! Some foods you always loved - avocado and banana - are not so high on your list anymore. You always have <b>water </b>with every meal and you love to drink out of straws. You are now having a <b>4-ounce bottle </b>before bed every night.</div>

You continue to do well in your crib, although <b>teething </b>and <b>growth spurts</b> have reared their ugly heads this month. You love to stand and cruise around in your crib, but usually only when you really aren't tired. Mommy and Daddy added a <b>gummy teething guard</b> on the sides of your crib to stop the teeth marks, as chewing your crib is a favorite activity! You have been <b>waking up</b> once a night for the past few weeks, but typically settle back down with a little soothing from Mommy.</div>

You wake up most mornings between <b>6:00 and 6:30</b> but we do get a 7:00 morning every once and a while (never on the weekends though!). Mommy gives your your <b>first bottle </b>and then you hang in the kitchen while everyone gets ready for work. You have <b>breakfast</b> with Nana around 8:30 and then go down for your <b>first nap</b> by around 9:30. That is typically a 30-40 minute nap. You have your <b>second bottle </b>around 11:00 and usually eat lunch around 12:30 after Mommy calls from school to check in. Sometimes you take a second nap between your bottle and lunch. You <b>sleep again after lunch</b>, sometimes staying in your crib for longer, but usually spending half the nap in the crib and the other half in Nana's arms. You have your <b>third bottle</b> around 3:30 and sometimes take a quick nap around 4:45 after Mommy gets home. We have <b>dinner </b>at 5:30 and your little bottle right before bed. You are <b>fast asleep in your crib </b>between 7:15 and 7:30 on most nights.</div>

As we should have known from when you were an inside baby kicking Mommy's belly all the time, you love to <b>be in motion</b>. You have been a wild man this month and are moving around like crazy! You love to <b>explore</b> everything you can and <b>Max's food dish</b> has become your newest obsession. You absolutely love <b>The Weather Channel </b>and watching the <b>weather forecasts </b>on the news. You will stop what you are doing to watch the meteorologists and seem to be so focused on what they are saying. You still love to <b>cover your face with blankets and clothes</b> and will kick and laugh whenever you do it. </div>

What can't you do, little man?! You are now <b>climbing stairs</b> and we are in full baby-proofing mode around here. You <b>pull up on anything</b> you can get your little hands around and are <b>cruising around the coffee table, playpen, crib, gate, and couch</b>. You can move between the couch and the coffee table by holding on with one hand. You now play <b>peek-a-boo, give high five, flush the toilet, and reach out and point with your hand for something you want</b>. </div>

<br />
I'm sick.<br />
<br />
It seriously happens almost every year during at least one vacation (we are two for two this year already). <br />
<br />
I go nonstop and run myself ragged and the minute I slow down for 2.6 seconds, it all catches up to me and dumps sickness everywhere.<br />
<br />
I started feeling crummy at the end of last week and I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. <br />
<br />
Sore throat, fever, exhaustion, and a beautiful cough that could wake the dead.<br />
<br />
By Sunday, I was almost in tears every time I swallowed my own spit.<br />
<br />
When I woke up yesterday morning, I could barely open my left eye because it was filled with goopy gross crustiness. My nose was a leaky faucet and I was coughing up some pretty disgusting stuff (hope you're not eating while you read this).<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I ended up at the walk-in clinic (thanks, regular doctor, for being closed and making me pay a $50 copay). Two and a half hours, two strep tests, one flu test, and one script for amoxicillin later and I am starting to feel a little better today.<br />
<br />
Turns out it's not strep or the flu. Probably just some awesome viral thing that I caught from one of the 25 germ-infested munchkins who have no control over where they send their spit and snot in my classroom. I'm still finishing the antibiotic just in case.<br />
<br />
But I haven't even gotten to the best part...<br />
<br />
Obviously it couldn't just be me who got sick.<br />
<br />
This morning, Liam woke up with the goopiest of goopy eyes. Poor kid could barely see.<br />
<br />
Luckily, we had his 9 month well-visit today so Dr. G was able to give us a prescription for some eye drops (which Liam obviously loves so very much...sarcasm font needed here). The little guy is in great spirits considering the grossness and thankfully he didn't need any shots today. But I do feel terrible for him.<br />
<br />

<br />
So, that's how our vacation started. <br />
<br />
Crossing my fingers that the rest of it is goop free.<br />

We don't go in to see Dr. G for two more weeks, but Mommy is thinking you are at <b>least 25 pounds</b>. You seem to have gotten a lot taller too, so we are looking forward to seeing how much you have grown. The <b>blond hair</b> and <b>blue eyes</b> are here to stay. Everyone is always commenting on how <b>much hair you have</b>. You are the envy of all the girls!</div>

You are still drinking <b>four 8-ounce bottles of Similac Advance</b> formula a day. When we go to see Dr. G in two weeks, Mommy is going to see what he says about cutting down to three bottles a day. You are eating <b>two meals a day</b> and usually have a <b>third meal</b> in the late afternoon. Sometimes we skip that one depending on your nap schedule. You are really loving all the different foods we have tried. This month, you have tried <b>cantaloupe, cauliflower, eggs, tomatoes, toast, egg noodles, meatloaf, chicken, hummus, quinoa, macaroni and sauce, and meatballs</b>. Mommy has found a lot of different ways to incorporate different foods into your diet. You have had broccoli and cauliflower cheese bites, sweet potato quinoa patties, apple and cheddar balls, and will soon try pineapple and mango muffins. You are still loving <b>banana and blueberries</b> and definitely prefer fruits to veggies. You still have your <b>2-ounce snack bottle</b> before bed and you love drinking <b>water</b>.</div>

<b>Crib sleeping</b> continues to be going very well. You go down with very little issue and sleep through the night without problem. You typically need <b>a pacifier replacement or two</b> throughout the night, but we consider that a big success. You are <b>rolling and moving</b> around in your crib like crazy when you are awake, but usually settle yourself down without a problem. You sleep with a <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/critter-gift-set/?pkey=bbaby-shower-gifts&" target="_blank"><b>Henry the Hippo lovey</b></a><b>, a <a href="http://www.kidsii.com/taggies/" target="_blank">Taggies</a> blanket, and Cecil (the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Ocean-Wonders-Soothe-Seahorse/dp/B000W3XEQM" target="_blank">Fisher Price Soothe and Glow Seahorse</a>)</b>, which Mommy knows breaks all the "no sleeping with things" rules but they help to soothe you back to sleep when you wake up.<br />
<br />
You wake up most mornings around <b>6:00 am</b>, but did sleep the other morning until almost 7:00! You have your <b>first bottle </b>in your room with Mommy and then you hang out in the <b>kitchen</b> with Nana while Mommy and Daddy get ready for work. Mommy <b>gives you some breakfast </b>while she packs lunches and gets organized for the day. You are usually ready for your first nap <b>between 8:30 and 9:00</b>. You are still our cat napper and typically only do about 30 minutes. Your<b> second bottle</b> is around <b>10:00</b> and you usually have some <b>lunch with Nana</b> around 11:30. Mommy calls from school around <b>noontime </b>and you are typically getting ready for a nap around that time. Sometimes Nana is able to <b>get you to take a longer nap</b> in the crib, but often you take half the nap in the crib and half in Nana's arms. And sometimes, you take two shorter naps in the afternoon. Your <b>third bottle</b> is sometime between <b>2:00 and 2:30</b> and you often go down for a nap again between <b>3:30 and 4:00</b>. You have your last bottle around <b>6:00</b> and you are asleep in your <b>crib by 7:15 </b>most nights.</div>

For naps, we <b>read a story, sing a song, rock a little</b>, and then put you down in the crib.</div>

You are loving to <b>explore your environment </b>now that you are capable of moving more (details on that in a few). You love to <b>climb </b>and <b>roll around on the floor</b>. You would play with <b>Max's toys</b> all day long if Mommy and Daddy let you, but they are always <b>going in your mouth</b>. You still love <b>remotes, screens, and anything that lights up</b>. You like to <b>rolled around in your highchair </b>and still love to play on Mommy and Daddy's bed. Anytime Max is around, you want to be close to him and you like to <b>pet him and grab his fur</b>. Luckily, Max is pretty tolerant!</div>

Oh boy, it has been quite a month for your motor development! You are now <b>crawling around</b> like crazy and you just love that you can move around so easily. You had been doing a modified army crawl for a bit, but lifted that belly about a week and a half ago and nothing can stop you now! You are able to <b>push yourself to a sitting position from being on your belly</b>, which makes it super interesting in your crib. In fact, just last night, you rolled from your back to your stomach, sat yourself up and started to <b>pull up on the side of the crib</b>. Speaking to pulling up, you are doing that all.the.time on everything you can. You have <b>pulled yourself up</b> on your music table, the coffee table, the gate around the wood stove, and you are almost all the way up on your feet in your crib. You are <b>feeding yourself</b> and you will sometimes <b>use a spoon with help</b>. Your <b>pincer grasp</b> is really starting to develop and you can pick up smaller items easily. You don't have any specific words yet, but understand the signs for <b>water, eat, and all done</b>. You can also <b>clap someone else's hands together</b> and sometimes do <b>high five</b>.</div>

You still have <b>four teeth</b>, but your two top middle teeth are right at the surface of your gums waiting to pop through. When you have teeth about to pop, you tend to <b>get a runny nose and one watery eye</b>. That is one way we always know that there are teeth about to come in.</div>

We had quite a bit of fun taking your pictures this month. You were quite the wiggle worm and kept lunging for the camera! And all of your pictures include some lovely head marks and bumps from your newfound movement and freedom.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So this was going to be my first post in a month, but there's going to be two published posts today because my Mommy brain never told my fingers to press publish on Liam's 8 month update post. So you get two for the price of one today. You are one lucky reader!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
We are all alive over here in Rhode Island.</div>

Despite the runny noses (Hubs, Nana, and Liam) and the icepick migraines (yours truly) and the snow and freezing temps (the whole damn country!) and the teacher evaluation binder (thank you genius politicians), we are managing...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So here I sit on Sunday night, watching a <i>Sex and the City</i> marathon in our bedroom because Hubs is watching that football game I don't care about in the living room, finally able to finish the post I started more than 48 hours ago.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The post was basically just to say that we are alive and (mostly) well. Liam is rocking it out with the crawling and I'll post a lot more about him later this week when I do his 9 month post. I need to get on the babyproofing ASAP as he is moving around like crazy.</div>

School continues to suck the life out of me, although I am desperately trying to remember that it is just a job and that I need to leave some of the nonsense of it in the four walls of the school building instead of bringing it home with me.</div>

My latest stress revolves around childcare for the fall. My mom agreed to watch Liam for the first year, but she is physically unable to do more than that as Liam becomes more mobile. Every time I start to search for daycares in the area, I get a pit in my stomach. I cannot even begin to imagine leaving him with someone else. And then I stop searching. But it has to be a legitimate priority for February vacation since I'm sure there are waiting lists for the places I'll be looking at.</div>

I am mildy obsessed with the new nautical line that Old Navy is carrying. I went in there last week to return something and came home with a bag full of stuff (and most of it was for me and not L, which is unheard of lately!). The new Paddington line at babyGap is also to die for and I definitely ordered a few things for L the other day (with coupons and rewards...why yes I am justifying spending the money to myself).</div>

Alright, I'm off to finish up a few things to start the week. Heard we are supposed to get another storm mid-week around here. Really hoping there isn't another snow day. I'm going to be in school until July.</div>

We went back for a very quick trip to the doctor in mid-December to get the second half of your flu shot. I asked the nurse to weigh you and you came in at <b>22 pounds, 6 ounces</b>.

You continue to do well with your <b>four 8-ounce bottles of Similac Advance</b> formula a day. You get your little <b>2-ounce </b>snack bottle before bed. We haven't cut back on any of your bottles because, while you are definitely eating a lot more real food than you were a month ago, you are not ingesting nearly enough to consider discontinuing any bottles. That being said, you have become much more interested in food this month. Mommy found out that you tend to eat better <b>after your morning nap</b> than first thing in the morning and that switch has definitely helped you to eat more. You have added <b>cheese, pears, apples, chicken, a little macaroni, steak, banana pancakes, blueberries, pineapple, limes (you made quite a face with these), and crackers</b> to your repertoire of food. We are having so much fun watching you explore tastes and textures and learn to enjoy food. Mommy made some broccoli cheese "nuggets" for you to try this week too since broccoli by itself wasn't your favorite! You love <b>drinking water from your Camelbak water bottle</b>.<br />

Big changes happened this month in the sleep department! The weekend before Christmas, we<b> moved you into your crib</b>. This was probably way more stressful for Mommy than it was for you! Mommy and Daddy had agreed to do a modified <b>cry it out</b> method when you went into the crib to help you learn to self-soothe. The first night you were in the crib, you fell asleep with no issue at all. You woke up about 11:30 and cried for a bit with Mommy going in at increasing intervals to reassure you (Mommy cried too listening to you be so sad!). It took about a half hour or so and you were able to <b>put yourself back to sleep</b>. Since then, we have had one or two other CIO incidents but you have done amazingly well in the crib. You do wake up during the night and <b>need a pacifier replacement</b> at times, but you usually go right back to sleep. Naps are hit or miss in the crib and Mommy didn't push this during the <b>stomach bug fiasco </b>during Christmas vacation.<br />
<br />
You are usually awake between 5:30 and 6:00 in the morning. Mommy gives you a bottle in your room and then gets ready for work. You still take a <b>short nap</b> about an hour and a half to two hours after you wake up. We usually eat some breakfast after your nap and then do lots of <b>playing on the floor </b>with your new toys. You have your <b>second bottle</b> between 9:30 and 10:00 and then usually play for a little bit before your <b>next nap</b>. This nap tends to be a little longer on most days. More playing, reading books, cleaning, and doing chores before your next bottle around 2:30. You take<b> another nap</b> and sometimes have another <b>little snack </b>when Mommy gets home from school. You have your <b>last bottle </b>around 5:45 and are typically asleep in your crib by 7:15.</div>

Your <b>bedtime routine</b> hasn't changed much other than where you sleep. We do a bath and then put on your pjs. Mommy gives you <b>your little bottle, reads you a song, reads a book, and rocks you for a few minutes</b>. Then, you get put down in your <b>crib</b> for the night. </div>

You are seriously happy almost all the time little man! You are really enjoying <b>your new toys that light up and make sounds</b>.

You are not a big fan of having your <b>diaper changed </b>lately and need something to keep you amused during the process (the tube of A&D ointment typically does the trick!). You are pretty stubborn and get kinda cranky <b>when you don't get what you want (like the remote control!)</b>. </div>

You are <b>feeding yourself</b> more and more each day and are drinking from a straw cup like a pro. You continue to <b>sit unassisted</b>, but are now <b>lunging forward from a sitting position</b>. You will be sitting on your bottom and start to rock back and forth using your legs and feet. You get <b>onto your knees</b> and then <b>immediately fall forward onto your belly</b>. You haven't figured out how to lift your belly off the ground yet, so we don't think crawling is on the horizon anytime soon. You <b>use your legs and feet to push yourself </b>around on the floor, especially if there is a toy you really want that is just out of reach. You are doing a lot of <b>"talking" </b>lately and love to <b>screech and scream</b>. You also learned how to <b>smush your face against the side of the playpen</b>, which Mommy finds absolutely hysterical! You hold onto the outside of our hands and push them together to make them clap. You also <b>lift your arms up </b>when someone goes to pick you up.<br />

How many <b>teeth</b> do you have?<br />
You have four teeth in total now. For a while, you only had the two bottom teeth in the middle. Shortly after you turned 7 months old, Mommy noticed the bump of a tooth on the top. At first, it looked like it was going to be a middle tooth (those are usually the next to come), but we quickly realized it was an <b>incisor</b> to the right of your middle teeth. The top left incisor came next. So, you now kinda look like a little <b>vampire</b> with those top two teeth!</div>

This photo shoot was a hot mess little boy! You did not want to stay sitting in that chair and kept throwing yourself forward. Mommy had to catch you a few times!<br />

I mentioned a little about this in his <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-one-with-six-month-update.html" target="_blank">6 month</a> and <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-one-with-seven-month-update.html" target="_blank">7 month</a> updates. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are doing a modified baby-led weaning (BLW) method of feeding. When Americans think of weaning, they associate the word with giving up breastfeeding. With BLW, the weaning is used in the British sense of the word - to add complementary foods. Considering the <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-one-with-breastfeeding-saga.html" target="_blank">breastfeeding fiasco</a> that was my life back in the spring, it's a good thing we are talking like Brits over here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The essence of BLW is that there are no mushy baby food purees. Babies eat real food in its "natural" form from the beginning. Another key component is that babies feed themselves. There are no jars of mashed foods, no airplane spoons, and no stressing over just one more bite. Babies eat what you eat and it's a social activity meant to be enjoyed as a family. There are several books about BLW, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Led-Weaning-Essential-Introducing-Confident/dp/161519021X" target="_blank">this</a> being the most popular one. I will be honest and tell you I didn't read it. I did a lot of research online and did take the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/161519049X/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=161519021X&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0MS4H2JETMJ1MK79MJVC" target="_blank">cookbook</a> out of the library. I need to buy the cookbook for my Nook at some point soon for some more recipe ideas.<br />
<br />
One of the things that I know some people get super nervous about when it comes to BLW is the whole choking thing. We have certainly had some very intense gagging incidents since Liam started eating foods (and I won't lie, there was some throw up involved once or twice), but gagging and choking are two totally different things. A baby's gag reflex is located much farther forward on his/her tongue than an adult which helps the baby to move food forward away from the throat and avoid choking. We watch him like a hawk while he eats and all has gone very well so far.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is seriously the lazy mom's solution to solid foods. I don't have to make (or buy) special baby food for L. I don't have to spend my whole meal time trying to feed him. I don't have to pack special foods for him when we go places (although I always make sure that I know what kind of food we will be having if we are out and tend to bring something I made along with us just so I know exactly what he is eating).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For us, this has kinda been a go with the flow experience. Most days, we offer Liam at least one solid food during one meal. Sometimes, we offer him more than one choice at mealtime. Occasionally, he eats solids at more than one mealtime a day. We also always give him his Camelbak with water during or after he eats. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started with sweet potato fries (just sliced into sticks and roasted in the oven until fork tender but not too soft) on a weekend afternoon. Foods in "stick" form are best for little hands as they can only pick up things with the whole fist and haven't yet developed the pincer grasp.</div>

We found that bibs tended to be more of a distraction at first, so Liam ate in just his diaper in the beginning. We do use the <a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/green-sprouts-trade-by-i-play-reg-5-Pack-Waterproof-Eva-Bib-in-Rocket/1041004555?categoryId=32053" target="_blank">green sprouts bibs</a> now and they are super easy to clean up. For this first feeding, I put down newspapers on the floor (I had no idea if it would end up super messy), but having a dog really eliminated the need for this in future feedings. Liam and Max have become best friends since Liam started dropping his food over the side of the highchair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of highchairs, it is essential to have one that can be easily cleaned up. We have the <a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/Boon-Flair-Pneumatic-Pedestal-High-Chair-in-Orange/1018153394?Keyword=boon+flair" target="_blank">Boon Flair</a> highchair and it has been awesome so far. It's extremely easy to clean and the orange pad is removable. There are very few cracks and crevices for food to get stuck in and the tray liner is small enough to fit in the dishwasher.</div>

At the beginning of all of this, Liam was only mildly interested in food. He would try things but would often get distracted and want to play instead of eat. While the whole point of BLW is to not get stressed out about food, I had moments of "OMG will my kid ever eat food?!" In the last two weeks or so, he has definitely become more engaged in eating. I have found since I have been on vacation that he eats better after his morning nap, as opposed to right after his first bottle. So I'm thinking that my mom will have to take over his first meal of the day because I'll be at school by then.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At this point, Liam has tried a wide variety of foods with different tastes and textures. I have been slightly lax on giving him a lot of veggies because we don't eat enough of them (it's a new priority in the coming year) or if we do it's in salad form (which clearly won't work for him yet). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
chicken (baked)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
yogurt (frozen in <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=17599596&cp=&parentPage=search" target="_blank">fresh food feeder</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
bananas (whole with skin left on as a "handle")</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
avocados (sliced in large pieces with skin on for ease of grasping)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
red peppers (steamed)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He is loving yogurt, apples, pears, and bananas at the moment. Butternut squash and broccoli weren't a big hit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have found that preparing foods on Sunday that can easily be taken out during the week helps to make sure we have things prepped for him ahead of time and makes life less hectic when I'm working. </div>

Unfortunately, Liam was sick for Christmas and didn't get to enjoy our beef tenderloin and asparagus. I am planning on doing a nice dinner on New Year's Day so hopefully he will get to indulge in whatever it is I make that day.</div>

BLW has been a lot of fun for us and I am looking forward to continuing to introduce Liam to new foods and creating healthy eating habits from the beginning.</div>

Holy Lord, it's been forever since I've blogged. Gotta blame that baby Jesus and His birthday...it's been flippin' nonstop over here since the beginning of December.</div>
<br />
I'm pulling out the bullet points for this post. More to come on most of the subjects but here's a rundown...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Little Mr. Man is growing like a weed. Up to 22 pounds, 6 ounces at his flu shot appointment earlier this month. 9 month clothes are becoming a thing of the past and he is in constant motion.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li>48 hours before the aforementioned baby Jesus' birthday, the stomach bug descended upon this house. The jury is still out as to whether this was a case of food poisoning or whether it was a virus going around, but at least a dozen of the people we were with the Saturday before Christmas at a party ended up very sick by late Sunday afternoon. At this point, we think it may have somehow been passed to everyone through a sick employee at the restaurant who ruined everyone's food with his/her throw-up germs. As a result of us being sick, many of the people who we were with on Christmas Eve then ended up sick. It was one ugly germ-spreading holiday.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Remember the <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-one-with-bodily-fluids.html" target="_blank">puke and pee incident</a> from last spring? Well apparently that is not just something that happens to me when pregnant. It's my new thing I guess because it happened again when I got sick last week.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>We thought Liam avoided the grossness until the overabundance of explosive diapers began on Christmas Eve. Thankfully, we are down to only one or two a day now. A drastic improvement from the dozen or so on Christmas Day.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>As a result of Christmas Puke-Fest 2013, our Christmas Day was pretty quiet. Liam got a ton of presents, Hubs' parents visited for a while, and I somehow managed to get dinner on the table for Hubs and I in between changing diapers and doing a ridiculous amount of laundry.</li>
</ul>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i>This was outfit #3 of the day.</i></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The crib transition began over a week ago. It has been relatively painless thus far. We had two real incidents of crying it out (CIO) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferber_method" target="_blank">Ferber-style</a>. I have kinda modified Ferber's methods to fit our needs (and the amount of time I can listen to my baby cry), but things have been going well for us.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Baby-led weaning has been a lot of fun so far. Liam has definitely become more interested in food and has tried a few more things. Right now, he loves apples, pears, yogurt, and blueberries (although he hasn't had much food this week because of the stomach fiasco).</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Liam met Santa two weeks ago at our big family Christmas party. My dad flew up from Florida for the weekend and dressed up as Santa as a surprise. It was great to have L's first experience with Santa be with his Gramps.</li>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>This vacation has been very quiet and not all that productive. The sickness was a big part of the unproductive-ness, but it is certainly way harder to get anything done with an almost 8-month old rolling around and needing amusement (I know this is only going to get worse once he really starts moving!).</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I did the 24 books of Christmas with Liam this year. Each night, I read him a new Christmas book before bed. This is definitely a tradition I will continue with him. In the future, I plan to wrap each book up for him to open before bed. This year, they were just displayed on his bookshelves.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I scaled it way down this year with the cookies. Remember last year when I <a href="http://ourprojectmakeababy.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-one-with-all-cookies.html" target="_blank">baked 28 dozen cookies</a> at 20+ weeks pregnant and kinda hated my life a little? Well, this year I only did like 16 dozen and it was still quite the challenge. I had plans to make more, but then the vomit came and I decided that was a sign to quit while I was ahead.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>We also started a new Christmas pajama tradition this year. We each got new Christmas jammies (have you seen the <a href="http://youtu.be/2kjoUjOHjPI" target="_blank">Christmas Jammies</a> video?) and the plan was to wear them to bed on Christmas Eve and have our big Christmas morning breakfast wearing them. No surprise things didn't go according to plan. Hubs' jammies didn't arrive on time (thanks FedEx) and no one wanted a big breakfast after being sick. So we celebrated with our jammies and breakfast last night and this morning.</li>

We haven't been back to see Dr. G since your six-month appointment, but Mommy is guessing you are pretty close to<b> 21 pounds</b> by now (about the size of our Thanksgiving turkey last week!). You are getting longer too. We went to the hospital two weeks ago to follow up about your<b> head size</b>. During your six-month appointment, after several measurements, your head size was off the charts. Mommy and Daddy took you for an ultrasound and we are happy to report that your<b> head is absolutely perfect.</b> It's just big. Which is no big shocker after looking at Daddy. Mommy and Daddy saved your hospital bracelet for your baby book and we are hoping that we don't have to do any more trips to the hospital anytime soon.</div>

You are our great little eater and are still doing <b>four 8-ounce bottles of Similac Advance</b> <b>formula</b> a day and you have your <b>2-ounce bottle </b>before bed every night. We started you on <b>solid foods</b> about 3 weeks ago and things have been going well so far. Mommy is going to do a whole post about <b>BLW</b> soon, but basically we offer you food while we are eating and you will sometimes feed yourself. Other times you aren't really interested and that's just fine. BLW really takes the pressure off getting you to have a certain amount of food. If you eat, awesome. If you don't, no big deal since you are getting all of your nutrients from formula. So far, you have tried <b>sweet potatoes, avocado, butternut squash, banana, eggs, broccoli, red pepper, carrots, yogurt, and cucumber</b>. You even tried <b>turkey</b> on Thanksgiving. Banana, avocado, and yogurt are definitely your favorites. Butternut squash and broccoli were not a hit! Mommy gave you a little taste of her homemade tomato sauce last night and you really seemed to like that. Pasta may be on the menu soon!</div>

Your sleep habits have been pretty good this month, although the change out of the swaddle and into your own room has been a little bit of a challenge for you. Mommy and Daddy moved you into <b>your own room</b> a few weeks ago and overall, things have been going well. You are definitely <b>up more</b> during the night and tend to wake up earlier in the morning, but there haven't been any major problems. You are usually up sometime between 5:15 and 5:45 and Mommy knows you are fully awake because you start <b>trying to eat your feet</b>. Mommy heats up your bottle and feeds you in your room. <b>Nana</b> usually comes in to say good morning and then we change your diaper. <b>Breakfast</b> has been the meal that we eat together as a family because of Daddy's crazy work hours. You have something to eat in your highchair while Mommy and Daddy have breakfast too. When Mommy and Daddy leave for work, you are usually <b>almost ready for your first short nap</b> of the day. You and Nana <b>play on the floor, read books, sing songs, fold laundry, cook, or vacuum</b> in the morning between your bottles. You eat every <b>4 hours or so</b> and usually nap between your 10:00 and 2:00 bottles. That still tends to be your <b>longer nap</b> of the day. You nap again sometime after your 2:00 bottle and sometimes need a <b>short nap</b> when Mommy gets home. You have another bottle around 6:00 and are<b> asleep by 7:15</b> most nights.</div>

You still have a pretty strict <b>bedtime</b> routine.

Mommy has said it before, but you are such a <b>happy baby</b>. This month, you are loving <b>tags of all kinds</b>. You like to suck on them, rub them on your face, and play with them. You still love to <b>play with your burp cloth or clothes</b> and put them over your face. You love to <b>sit up</b> and look around and you are always <b>grabbing </b>for anything and everything. You love your new <b>mesh feeder</b> with yogurt and you laugh and giggle when <b>Max licks your hands</b>. <b>Moving </b>is one of your favorite activities. You <b>roll, kick, and use your arms</b> to move all over the place. You enjoy watching people <b>eat</b> and love when people <b>talk to you</b>. You still really enjoy your <b>bath </b>and now that you have toys, it is even more fun! You also love your <b>frozen grape teething toy</b>.</div>

You still prefer to be with other people and get a little <b>crabby if left in the room by yourself</b>, even if you have toys or are in your playpen. You don't like to be <b>laying down</b> for long and will often <b>pull yourself up to sit</b>, even when someone is trying to feed you. Speaking of eating, you get mighty <b>annoyed if we take your bottle away to burp you</b> when you are really hungry. You still don't love being on <b>your tummy </b>for too long.</div>

You amaze us with your skills every day little guy! You are now <b>sitting up </b>with no assistance. You often wiggle around and end up on your back or stomach but you very rarely fall over backwards anymore. We did get a new rug though so your falls are a little more cushioned when they do happen! Nana taught you to <b>give kisses</b> and it is just the cutest thing in the world when you lean over to us with an open mouth. You are <b>drinking from a straw cup</b> and you love your <b>Camelbak</b> cup. You roll <b>both ways </b>and can <b>turn in a circle </b>when you are on your stomach. You are <b>feeding yourself</b> and <b>grab anything within reach</b>.</div>

This month, you ate your first<b> solid foods</b>, had your first<b> cups of water</b>, and celebrated your first <b>Thanksgiving</b>. You also went with Mommy and Daddy to cut down your first <b>Christmas tree</b>. You also took your first trip back to the <b>hospital</b> since you were born, had your first <b>ultrasound </b>outside Mommy's belly, and <b>had your first boo-boo </b>(see below!).</div>

While this <i>technically</i> isn't Mommy's fault, she still felt pretty awful. On the day we went to have your head ultrasound done, Mommy and Daddy took you out for breakfast after the test. While we were there, you were chewing away on a toy so Mommy and Daddy could eat. When Mommy looked over to you, she saw <b>blood in your mouth</b>! Turns out, you <b>bit your tongue</b> while you were chewing on your toy. You didn't seem too bothered by it, but Mommy hated seeing that blood in your mouth. Luckily, it healed pretty quickly!</div>

Things have changed a little bit with the way Cara Box is organized. The exchanges are now seasonal instead of monthly and we have more time to get to know our partners. The swap started in September and boxes were mailed out at the end of October.<br />

Cara Box was started by Kaitlyn at <a href="http://www.wifessionals.com/" target="_blank">Wifessionals</a> in an effort to get to know other bloggers and receive super fun mail! Each exchange has a theme and you can read more about how Cara Box works <a href="http://www.wifessionals.com/p/cara-box-exchange_4.html" target="_blank">here</a>. This box's theme was all about autumn. The smells, the sights, the sounds, and everything in between.</div>

I was paired up with Kari at <a href="http://www.pinkcowmootique.com/" target="_blank">The Pink Cow Mootique</a> and Jessica from <a href="http://nutshellfarms.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nutshell Farms</a>. Kari is a teacher and has twin girls who are so adorable. Jessica is a SAHM who amazed me with all of her awesome homemade food and canning skills. It was so fun getting to know both ladies and I enjoyed picking out items for Jessica's Cara Box. Head over to her blog to see what I sent her in the Cara Box.</div>

In the box from Kari there were such great fall themed things. There was a something for everyone in this box. She sent me a yummy apple smelling candle, hot chocolate and a chocolate bar (which is surprisingly still in my fridge!), very pretty pink nail polishes, a chevron scarf (which I wore last week and got so many compliments on), an adorable shirt and bib for L, and some treats for Max. She was so thoughtful when putting my box together.</div>

He did pretty well with one arm out and eventually got used to having both arms out of the swaddle. The change to no swaddle and just pajamas was no big deal and he has been sleeping like that for a week and a half or so. Up until Friday night, he was in the Rock n' Play in our room. <br />
<br />
That all changed Friday night when my baby made the move to his own room.<br />
<br />
::cue Mommy tears and <strike>slight</strike> anxiety attack::<br />
<br />
Having Liam in our room has been awesome. He's a good sleeper, goes back to sleep pretty easily with a pacifier replacement if it's too early to be awake, and it's been quite convenient to have him right there when he needs something.<br />
<br />
I prepared myself for a really tough weekend of sleep for everyone.<br />
<br />
On Friday night, what I got was a longer time than usual to fall asleep, a couple of middle of the night pacifier replacements and rocking sessions in the Rock 'n Play, and an earlier than usual wake up on Saturday morning. On Saturday night, the falling asleep time was only slightly longer than usual; there was only one wake up that needed Mommy; and L slept until his normal time.<br />
<br />
As I sit here typing this, I have a baby sleeping in his own room contently after going to sleep with no help from me. He did wake up crying about an hour ago, but his eyes never opened and it seemed like more of a "bad dream" situation than a true waking up.<br />

I haven't slept as well as L has, considering I have been waking up a lot and peeking over at the screen to check on him. But, this weekend has gone much better than expected. </div>

I miss having him in our room, but I know he is only across the hallway (and may have gotten up several times the first night to go make sure he was still there, even after seeing him on the monitor).</div>
