No one told me I'd be in some kind of hyper speed time warp after having
a baby! HOW is my little guy eight months old already? I'm pretty sure
he was a newborn 3 minutes ago... I just tried to swaddle him, but he
kicked me in the face.
Month eight! Cody is deployed, so little
pookie & I are on our own this month and have been getting lots of
one on one time! At first it was difficult not having a helper at the
end of the day or on weekends, but I've gotten the hang of it now &
I'm a pro single mama. Liam is a little adventurer! I'm starting to
wonder if Danger should have been his middle name because he is getting
into everything! This month he'd rather stand than sit & is cruising
along the edges of furniture and finally has the ability to get a hold
of all of the fun, naughty stuff that was once out of reach. If I take
my eye off of him for a second he quickly hones in on the most dangerous
thing in the room & goes for it! He can spot a reciept on the floor
from a mile away! And if you leave a cup of coffee on the coffee table,
you better believe it will soon be all over the floor and all over
Liam. You'd think I would be driven crazy by all of this but I honestly
am pretty entertained by it. I can't help but laugh at my curious little
guy. He also loves to touch my face & quietly babble. He likes to
try to share his binky or toys by trying to put them in my mouth
(usually covered in his own drool- lucky me).When he's tired he likes to
grab his feet & fold in half. I don't know why someone would be
comfortable like that, but he is. He also grabs his ears when he's
sleepy. A few times he has stood up without the support of a couch for
about 2-4 seconds & I was over-the-moon excited. Every second with Liam is fun. He's always doing something cute or silly & I am endlessly enamored with him.

Liam LOVES story time! He'll sit quietly & politely on my lap if we're reading. Especially his "wheels on the bus" pop up book! He LOVES it. Once I came back into the livingroom after stepping out for a second & he was standing up on the side of the couch & flipping through the pages :)
He met his uncle Kyle:
