12.12.12

Pin It Now! Today is a special day as it marks little Liam's 8 month anniversary.  And reaffirms that I only blog about my children.  There is lots going on around here - I wish I could capture it on a more daily basis like this blog or this one - but whatev's at least I blog once a month right?

This month Liam is all of the sudden a chunk.  He just seems so substantial, can pretty much sit on his own now (with the occasional sad topple over and cry).  He's finally starting to eat some foods other than formula but this has been a veeeeeery slow process.  I joke that its because the poor thing is always just on the go as part of this family of four that he doesn't really get the time devoted to eating but then the reality of it is that that's probably really not a joke at all but the truth - he seems pretty happy though so that's great.  His latest trick is blowing noises to people and waiting for a response.  So cute.  He's a champion sleeper at night, normally the second one up (after Kirk, before Jonah and I) and I can't imagine a cuter start to my day.  He loves fluffy blankets and brushing his teeth.
This one:
just melts my heart every day.  Two years and one month old this week - he is a going concern.  I realized when I went to choose our pictures for this years Christmas cards and literally had one or two to choose from from the entire year of him smiling.  Because he just doesn't sit down long enough to catch a picture.  Loves Santa, snowmen and hockey.  All of the sudden really into playing with other people "Mommy play?" and totally onto me if I try to sit down and play "MOMMY - PLAY!!!" - so down on the ground with mini sticks I go.

I have loved seeing the way these two boys are growing together - Liam is under the weather this week and yesterday Jonah went up to him as he was crying and gave him a big hug.  Melted my heart.

I have had a bunch of great Stella & Dot trunk shows and have met some fabulous women through the process.  Becoming a stylist was just what I was looking for and actually has ended up exceeding my expectations - I'm really loving it.  I just finished a marathon session of watching the entire season one of the show Girls.  It was seriously so fabulous and well done.  But reaffirmed my feelings that I'm getting old.  That was a bit of a random ramble but have to go now Liam is up!
