Your First Word

My Liam,

I can hardly believe I'm about to type this but this weekend you said your first word.  Yesterday started out like all other Saturdays, your Dad got up with you about 6:45am when you rose and allowed me to sleep a little longer.  I enjoyed another hour of sleep and joined you two on the living room floor for some play time.  The three of us were just being silly and genuinely enjoying some down time, you were just babbling away as usual then out of no where you went "da-da-da-da errrr Dada."  Your Dad and I just stared at one another with huge smiles on our faces!  We encouraged you a little saying "Da-da" and you would repeat after us "da-da-da-da ah wa ya-ya da-da".  Your Dad was so happy a few tears even fell.  I didn't run for the camera or camcorder because I just wanted to soak up this moment.  It was a special first that your Dad and I got to experience together, what a special blessing! 

I think your amazing,
Your Momma

More on Babbling

Sweet Liam,

I want to record another special moment I had with you this weekend, just tonight in fact.  Your dad had gone down stairs to play video games so you and I were just playing and listening to some worship music, I'd be having a hard week and was gently singing the words as we played.  You had been a little quiet (you usually get this way late into the evening before bed) so we were just playing when you started to babble along with me.  It was just a sweet moment that touched my heart, here was my tiny baby singing and enjoying some worship with me.  I got caught up in the moment and started to cry, you didn't like that so much so the moment was fleeting but I still cherish it.

The Way You Babble

Sweet Liam,

Your Momma has been going through a rough patch, today I had your G'ma bring you to my work so I could take you to get your flu booster shot.  This was not what I wanted to do at the end of my Friday.  It was such a joy when G'ma brought you in and you were so excited to see me, I loaded you up and off we went to the doctors office. You were your normal chatty self, we were able to get in and out of the doctor's office in record speed and you didn't even cry!  On the way home I started to get stuck in my own head and lots in my worries, you must have sensed this because you started to babble like crazy as loud as you could!  You not only melted my heart but washed away all the things I'd been worrying about.  I don't know what I would do without you during this whole thing, thank God for you my little buddy!

Your Momma
