Happy Friday -- 10 Things

My friend, Michelle B., recently started making a list of 10 things to be happy about each Friday.  Being the list-maker that I am, I decided to join in.  Here are the things that made me happy this week. 

1. Spending lots of time with Liam (the grandparents even got a little time with him).   

2. Visits from friends -- Jenny, Sarah, AND Ashley!

 

3. This book, which is prompting some excellent discussions.

4. Dairy-free, soy-free chocolate chips!  And the pancakes I put them in.

5. A baby who has a much easier time pooping.  Even if the poops smell 10x worse.  It's so much better knowing that he's comfortable.  Thank you, Similac Alimentum!  

6. Playing Scramble on Facebook with my mom.

7. Last night's proposal on The Office.  I didn't think they could top Jim and Pam...I was so wrong!

8. Socks that look like shoes.

9. Putting together Liam's Easter basket.

10. Impulse purchases from the Target dollar section.  Those bunny ears were the best $1 I've spent in quite some time.

Liam - Week 5

We finally took Liam's one-month photo.
He spent his first night in his crib.
He went to the doctor twice.
He started formula. 
He started another formula.
He wore his first 0-3 month onesie.
He watched lots of shows on Hulu with Mommy and Daddy one lazy Saturday morning.
He went to church and Sunday School for the first time in a month.

Happy St. Patrick's Day...

...from Mike and Liam!



Aren't the matching hats just too much?!  It's almost unbearable how cute my guys are.

Liam - Week 4

•  My baby boy is a month old!  
• He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz at his pediatrician appointment.
• He is quickly filling out clothes that swallowed him up a few weeks ago.
• He knows how to rock the fauxhawk.  
• He's making more cooing sounds.
• He's the only person I know who likes the sound of my singing.
• He got a visit from his Uncle Matt, Matt's friend Rachel, and cousins Joanna, Robert, and Will.
• We watched lots of Poker After Dark.  Mommy got to explain to him that Gabe Kaplan isn't just a poker player, but that he was Mr. Kotter back in the day.

Lullabies of the non-traditional variety

As it turns out, there is now one person in the world who tolerates -- even enjoys -- my singing.  Since discovering this, we've been doing lots of singing over the last couple of days.  We sing some of the stand-by kids classics.  But I threw in a few other songs to our playlist...

When I got to the "haven't you always wanted a monkey" line, he smiled.

This is also Mommy's ringtone for Daddy.



I just sing the chorus...because that's all I know.

Liam -- Week 3

• He had an unexpected pediatrician appointment, and quite possibly has a dairy sensitivity.
• On the plus side, he's up to 7 lbs. 2 oz.
• He received a cute hippo from Finland in the mail. (Thank you Inka!)
• He loves his mobile.
• He started sleeping in his Pack 'n' Play.  Mommy is slowly getting up the nerve to let him sleep in his crib.
• He does not like to be burped...so much so that mommy is pretty sure he growled at her when she tried to burp him recently.  
• He almost always wakes up to eat during Poker After Dark. 
• He's much more alert through the day, and has started "talking" to us a little.
• He has the most adorable grin.
