My Liam,
Today when I picked you up from Nanna she said "We have something to show you!" She pointed to your mouth, before I knew it my fingertip was in there praying I would actually feel what I suspected.....YEP! Your very first tooth as popped through! (It's on the lower bottom off to your left). I could not contain my joy!! You are always happy but you seemed to enjoy my celebration extra!
We went home and prepared dinner while waiting for Dadda. I gave you frozen blueberries while I worked on bacon and eggs for us. Dadda was home before we knew it and we showed him right away. He was just as excited! "Toofies!"
I can't believe how fast these last eight months have gone!
Love you so much
Momma

Mum-mum-mum
Yes it's true! You started say Mom-mom-mom! You've been mumbling it here and there for awhile, usually when you had a toy in your mouth...but this weekend you put the words together for real! You know when I'm far away (aka the other room) and want to get my attention "mom-mom-mom" my heart melts! You were so proud of yourself when you did it too! It was like you really knew "finally I can get her attention when I want it!"
You also a professional sitter now, no assistance needed for you, no sir! I spread a few puffs around you and you will bend completely over and scoop those bad boys right up! Yummy!
I can hardly believe all the new things you are learning and accomplishing each day! The days, especially weekends, speed by me. I do my best to soak in each moment with you, like when you fall asleep in my arms or on my chest...
I love being your mom,

Summer Daydream
My Sweet Liam,
I'm daydreaming of summer with you! I can not wait for you to experience your first Montana summer! Oh the bliss of evening walks, playing at the water parks, hot dog cookouts, going to the lake, camping, hiking....I could go on and on! You are going to love it, I can already tell you are an outside kind of person. We have spent countless hours at the window watching the leaves change colors and the snow fall. I promise we are going to jam pack this summer full of memories, so much so that we will welcome the rest winter will bring! Are you ready buddy? I am!
I love you,
Momma

Snuggles and Lack Thereof
Liam-Liam!
You are growing up so quickly! On Valentine's Day you will be eight months....three-fourths of a year old! My how time has flown! While your still not mobile yet (and no I do not mind at all) you have become very independent! Gone is my snugly little peanut baby I held so close once upon a time. Now you want to sit up, completely unassisted thank-you-very much, and play until the cows come home! You love to look around at things, you and I spend countless hours walking around our small home, or on weekends the mall. You so enjoy being out, I can't wait until summer when we can go on family walks and play in the yard! No doubt by then you will be mobile, it's hard to believe!
I must confess I do get you to snuggle me once in a while, often when you are eating your last (or first) bottle of the day you will recline in my arms and just sit and look at me. We hold interesting conversations during these times (you think the word "poop" is hilarious!) or sometimes we say nothing at all, we just look at one another...it's such a special time to me. Oh the snuggles are glorious! The other night you weren't sleeping well, which is so unlike you, I decided to go in and rock you in hopes you would find rest again. You just pressed close to me in the darkness and reached your little hand up to touch my face. Your sweet little eyes were wide open, you didn't care that it was 1:00 am, you just needed your Momma and I was happy to be there for you. We rocked silently for about twenty minutes before you were deep in slumber again, I gently placed you back in your crib and returned to sleep myself.
I hope one day you cherish these stories as much I cherish the moments now. None of us know the number of moments we'll have dear Liam...and I will not take even one for granted with you! I have loved every single moment of being your Momma from the very moment I knew you existed (Oct 3, 2010). I know there will come a day when you are a "big boy" and don't want my hugs and snuggles and that is ok, I will still love you and when you do want those hugs and snuggles I will be ready and waiting!
I will always, always be your Momma and I promise to love you no matter what, forever and always!

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!
