Question of the Day

What music does your baby absolutely love? What CDs do you constantly have in the CD player or queued up on Winamp (as us modern mom's do!)?

Liam's Favorite CDs:

1) Jason Mraz Demos, Unreleased & Covers
2) Jack Johnson Curious George Soundtrack
3) Jimmy Buffett's ParakeetHeads (all kids singing his songs, with censored lyrics!)
4) Disney Lullaby's
5) Beatles 1 or Rubber Soul

Leave a comment with your baby's favorite CD & maybe we can set up some sort of Christmas CD Swap for the little ones to gift to eachother!!

(Sidenote: Christina, do you remember our Gift Giving Get Togethers at my house when we were oh, about 15, 20 years younger?!?)

To Not Feed is our answer

So yesterday afternoon Liam went down for a nap around 4:30ish (sometime during Oprah with Julia Roberts talking about Charlotte’s Web and OH MY GOD I CANNOT WAIT TO TAKE LIAM TO SEE THAT!!) and he didn’t wake up until 7:15!! WOW. I thought his 8pm bedtime would be tossed out the window and he did go to bed later (around 9ish - before L&O but not after Charlie Brown Christmas…) but he was HAPPY while he was awake which, was a huge difference than his mood the entire day yesterday.

Matias did stop for cereal on the way home but since his schedule was out of whack we didn’t want to introduce something new to him so abruptly. BUT we did have him in his high chair (don’t worry Grandma, pictures are coming!!) and had him socialized at the dinner table. And HE LOVED IT. Had his feet ON the table in about .95378 seconds! He talked, he laughed and he just smiled the entire time. He watched both of us eat & jammered away. I asked him how his day went & told him that is what we talk about around the dinner table at night and he just ate it all up – no pun intended.

In my family, we ALWAYS ate dinner together & even if we didn’t have mind-blowing conversation, we all sat down together when my dad came home from work & I’ve always made a point of doing that in my home too. Matias & I have ALWAYS eaten together, regardless of what time he gets home or how long it takes him to cook & we are going to continue that with Liam. So this was our first attempt at having him sit at the table with us & he just loved it! I think he liked FINALLY being able to see what was going on at the proper level, you know? If he is still awake at dinner time, we always put him in his papasan chair but then he’s on the ground and that just becomes awkward to include him in dinner time…

And even though he went to bed later his sleep last night was SO MUCH BETTER (!!!) – he was only up twice! Once at 1:30 and then 5:30 for nursing sessions and then when he woke up at 7ish Matias brought him to bed where he fell asleep between us holding one of our hands in each of his. And he slept till almost 8:30! He woke up in such a great mood and has not whined ONCE so far this morning – he’s his normal, happy self again! WOOT! I mean, he didn’t even want to play in his activity center yesterday. Mommy is very happy about this because, honestly, the barely any sleep thing was really starting to take its toll on me.

Right now, he’s playing in his activity center and listening to Jason Mraz. AND he’s almost got the dreaded, blasted, ball thingie figured out!

And to address the extended breastfeeding question that Christina brought up in the comments…

I am not sure when I will wean Liam but I know that it will be past 6 months – I was HOPING I would start to get a break when he started on solids or maybe a little older when eating ‘jarred’ food but it seems that babies cannot have cow (VACA!) milk until they are a year old so there goes that idea! It’s not that I DON’T want to continue nursing him, cause I do, I was just thinking I could get a break from it for personal reasons but since I cannot, I wont! And I even was thinking of using water for the cereal so that I wouldn’t have to pump for cereal but Matias wants him to have Pimp Juice in it so that he recognizes it as something familiar…which I don’t have a problem with I just don’t like pumping & I have a hard time finding time to do it. And that might be easier if he napped longer! So now I just pump at night after he goes to bed – which is what I’ve always done when I’ve needed to get some stocked up for Mommy not being around (DMB concerts, CM events…) I don’t know how long I will nurse after he gets teeth - that will be a Wait and See decision. But I don’t want to put him on formula – one of the main reasons being the cost of it & then the obvious reasons. I feel if I’ve gone this long with nursing, I can continue to do it and not introduce formula if I don’t need to.

And the jarred food issue – I think we’re going to go the Mash It Up Ourselves route with that. I suppose we’ll see how long that lasts when we get to that point also but that’s our goal right now. We usually only buy organic or local grown fruits and veggies as it is so why not continue that for our son? If it’s what we do for ourselves, shouldn’t we be doing it for him also? We have one of those mini-prep processors from Cuisinart that I’m going to try and use & I’ve found a good “cookbook” for making baby food for all ages and stages.

SO! I think that’s where we stand on everything right now…we’re going to wait till the doctor appointment next week to make any decision about cereal but I do want to start him cause I’m constantly worried that he’s not getting enough to eat cause he’s kinda skinny. And I know he’s ok but he’s not a chubby baby, he’s tall, and everyone’s babies are so much heavier than he is and I’m inclined to think it’s ME that’s not allowing him to put on a lot of weight. I would say that he’s probably only 13 pounds at the moment – which is more than double his birth weight at 4 months plus BUT I just don’t know…I think it’s a common mommy issue to worry about your baby getting enough to eat…and I would feel much better if I knew 100% for a fact that he was enough to eat. Again, I know this is something to discuss with his doctor next week!
And on a totally unrelated note – yesterday on Oprah, Julia Roberts was talking about recycling and she said “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle just like Jack Johnson sings on the Curious George soundtrack” and I got the biggest kick out of that. It’s simply, hands-down the BEST CD for kids [almost] EVER! And to think that my kid is as cool as her kids and listening to it – strikes right into my goofy celebrity gossip heart! OR I should say that HER kids are listening to the same music as Liam. HA! Bet she doesn’t have the ultra cool Jason Mraz compilation CD though. Hmmm, I should send it to her. Or anyone here that doesn’t already have this for you baby! Let me know & I’ll send it to you – it’s just the bestest.

So here’s another random question. Wait I’ll save it for another post. What a tease I am.

To Feed or not To Feed?

Liam is making all the signs that he's ready to start on some cereal but I wasnt sure about doing it before going to his 4 month appt. - which due to his ped. schedule puts him at 18 weeks instead of 16 - so I called the nurse line for advice.

That didnt get me very far.

She was distracted & not paying attention when I had to tell her twice that he IS 4 months old, in fact he's 17 weeks so yes, I understand that you dont want him starting before that mark BUT HE IS PAST THAT MARK! And I could hear her typing which at first, I thought, hey cool she's taking notes, but I just dont think that's the case. I'm pretty sure she was trying to get some other work done. The best reason she could give me for not starting cereal before his appt. was that they give me a handout. Gee thanks. And that if I wanted to come in earlier that I could make an appt. So, if I can come in earlier, why couldnt I schedule his 4 month appt. AT 4 MONTHS?

I'm a little frustrated by this. And my patience is being tried because Liam is also starting to teeth & since his night time sleep schedule is ALL sorts of messed up so is Mommy's. AND he's a Cat Napper - doesnt normally take naps longer than 20 minutes during the day but WAS sleeping through the night so we didnt have any issues with that until now.

He's waking up anywhere from 3-10 times a night - whereas before he was waking up once around 4am and then again at 8ish to start his day. The boy is exhausted. He's been napping now for almost 2 hours & I'm afraid his 8pm bedtime is now going to get messed up but I'm not about to wake him up.

I called Matias to have him pick up some cereal on his way home so either we will get to that tonight or tomorrow night depending on how & when he wakes up from this nap. I think I'm going to go ahead and start him on cereal anyway to see if it helps him out.

I cannot stand to hear him cry (the sad cry!) when he's so tired and I think there's something I can do about it.

And on that note...

Pity, Party of 1, your table is ready.

I’ve put off writing about this because it is such a downer & I don’t like to vocalize such things as they then become Real once said out loud but it’s been bothering me a lot as of late & I really just want to get it off my chest – or my aptly – my stomach.

I’ve had a hard time losing the last of my baby weight & with a combination of a C-section and the sweet tooth not leaving when Liam arrived I’m struggling.

I’m not writing this to garner the “don’t worry” or “you look great” comments cause the truth is I DO worry & I don’t FEEL like I look GREAT and that’s what really matters. I take walks with Liam whenever I can and weather permits; I have two flights of stairs in the house and no bathroom on the main floor. So it’s not like I am completely sitting on my ass all day long. And to add some lightness to this, my ass is the only thing that has remained the same – thankfully.

I finally packed away my maternity clothes and bought a size larger pair of jeans – THANK god it was only ONE size larger. I’ve been living in yoga pants and long t-shirts for the past 4 months and my maternity jeans and I hate it. But I’ve taken the step and put them away and will live in my new larger size jeans.

I hate that I look dumpy because of the clothes I’m wearing and because I’m fat. I hate that my incision site still hurts periodically and that stops me from trying to wear non-elastic waist pants. I hate that my boobs are lopsided because Liam only nurses from one side – but please note that I don’t “hate” Liam because he only nurses from one side – I hate the way it looks when I’m wearing clothes that you can tell my 36DD boobs aren’t BOTH 36DD.

I hate that I have no money to buy any “make me feel pretty” clothes. But to be honest, even if I did have “extra” money I would spend it on Liam anyway. I hate that I have no underwear that fits me.

I hate thinking about shopping for new larger clothes cause that’s simply just depressing. I hate that I have a whole closet full of clothes, most with the tags still on, I bought last Fall that I will probably never be able to wear again.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the Reason for any of this. I wouldn’t trade Liam for 10 pounds or even 50 pounds but that doesn’t erase the thoughts and sadness that creeps into my thoughts and self image. I avoid mirrors, especially when naked, but mostly so that I don’t have to see how large I am now. I suppose I should be happy that I can rest Liam not only on my hips but also my gut but we all know humor will only get us so far. And I know there are things I can with my diet, even though I’m still breastfeeding, but I barely have time (or remember) to eat lunch let alone add a fricking diet regime into that mix. Plus I have to keep a certain amount of calories in my diet for the Pimp Juice to be nutritional. And I know I should step away from the cookies but I cannot get rid of the sweet tooth. And I don’t eat entirely horribly to begin with – portion control would probably be my best method here but I just don’t see that it will make much difference.

So you can probably sense that I’m just somewhat resigning myself to this situation all the while still bitching about it. And in my mind I’m totally, well not totally, blaming this on the C-section. I didn’t want one (hell, who would?) & THIS is the reason why. My body doesn’t feel like mine anymore, it doesn’t feel like it will ever be back to even my worst pre-pregnancy state again and that’s out of my control.

I hate looking at pictures of myself & I hate being around other people and having my picture taken cause the whole time all I’m thinking is how they will go back and look at those pictures and talk about how fat & gross I am.

I just wish I didn’t care.

Happy 4 Month Old Birthday, Liam Robert!

So, I’m only a week behind in writing his 4 month old birthday entry…we’ve been a tad busy! To defend myself further I would like remind y’all that we went to AoE for Matias’ 30^th birthday over Veteran’s Day weekend, then my sister, Auntie Leanne, came to visit between jobs on that Monday and stayed till Friday (YAY for bad weather!) THEN grandma & grandpa came for Thanksgiving on Tuesday and on that weekend I had my CM Open House and a book club meeting. And I survived. And more importantly so did Liam!

So enough explaining my absence away – let’s move onto Liam’s 4 Month Gush Fest, shall we?

As I mentioned above, we’ve been traveling and had some company the past couple of weeks and Liam took it all in stride – he LOVED having family over & visiting with everyone. He hammed it up for all the grandparents – we have a video of him laughing his adorable little head off for Poppa (which is what Daddy now wants to be called), he kissed Grandma all over her face until she was covered in sweet baby drool, and I think we mastered the “driving long distances in a car” issue – leave after his bedtime with his jammies on and after a nice warm bath.

He’s growing in leaps and bounds right now that it’s hard to remember everything he has accomplished or has started to accomplish!

I thought he was starting to have a tooth break through cause I found a tiny dot of blood on his gums one morning and rushed to call everyone with the news and then NOTHING! But those days surrounding the Blood Dot were tough days on him and I do still think he is in the starting phase of teething. He didn’t quite know what to think of the berry flavored Baby OraGel (why is it flavored? He has no idea what a berry is or even what a FLAVOR is beyond Pimp Juice…) and made some amusing faces when I was applying it to his little baby gums. He is chewing on his fists like a mad man & proceeds to gag himself almost every time which has led me to keep a bibbie on him almost all the time so that we can attempt to catch the vomit he gags up.

He LOVES LOVES LOVES his monster of an activity center. Smiles and wiggles and swivels himself the whole time just chilling and squealing and learning. You can SEE him analyzing his options on how to make things work & he’s mastered everything but the “move the ball over the arched plastic thingie” and the fact that he hasn’t mastered it yet is starting to frustrate him. He’s the type of thinker who studies how it works and then stares at it before just making it happen and since it’s taking him longer to make this one work, I can see the frustration and sometimes hear it on his face. The Cow is still his favorite but the Lion is a close second (he likes the ROAR). He still works out in his gym in the morning, doing his morning stretches. He plays mostly with his feet during this time, so I take them out of his PJs to give him ultimate access to those monkey toes of his. I’ve never seen a baby who can so easily spread his toes – I cannot even separate my big toe independently of the rest of them – but he has yet to shove them in his mouth. Maybe it is because his fist is always in there? And sometimes, it’s both fists at the same time. He is a DROOL MACHINE when he is in his activity center for some reason.

He is pulling himself up into sitting position really well these days! And if he’s in your lap leaning back he can basically do it all on his own now! And his newest trick is to lean all the way forward and roll onto his back. Sometimes I think he’s bringing his mouth to his feet instead of his feet to his mouth which I keep telling him is the hard way to go about doing that but, already, he isn’t listening to his Mommy.

He is still quite the little Cat Napper but will take longer naps when he is sleeping with Poppa – go figure. And, of course, after we’ve been out and about or after company leaves he can nap like a pro. He does really like his stroller & likes walking around the mall or outside – this almost always leads to a 2 hour nap – which makes Mommy want to shop more or take him on walks!

Grandma & Grandpa bought him his Bumbo seat and he’s still figuring it out to an extent. The first time he was in it he listed all the way over and then we realized that he took a major poopie. Then the second time, he did the same thing. We joked that he must think he’s on the potty! So now instead of Matias putting him in his backpack while he cooks dinner, he sets him on the kitchen island in his Bumbo seat and Liam watches, totally enthralled, as Poppa cooks! He loved being in his backpack while Poppa cooks & it’s really cute to watch him peek over his shoulder to check out what he is doing.

The cats are really becoming interested in him since he is becoming more active & Monkey is getting a lot braver around him – even coming into bed with the 3 of us and letting Liam “pet” him. Petting usually involves pulling his ears & grabbing his tail, but Monkey is such a gentle little boy that he doesn’t mind this at all, in fact, he’s even licked him a few times! Mystic still jumps up on the couch for a short cuddle with us when we are nursing & Liam has started “tracking” her movements when she passes by him. It’s cute to watch him crane his neck to see her walk around him and swivel his activity center to track her. She will still retreat to her bag when he starts crying though!

In addition to his fist shoving, Liam has also started sucking his thumb more regularly now! Yesterday he napped successfully without his chupie and I think we are going to keep that going and only put him down for the night with it and slowly wean him off of it, hopefully. I’d rather have a thumb sucker cause as my mom says “they can’t lose their thumb”! He’s also REALLY discovered his hands – not just for grabbing things cause he’s been doing that for a while – but he EXAMINES his fingers and hands all the time now, and it’s just adorable to watch. But let’s face it; I think just about everything he does is adorable to watch.

He is also scrunching his nose when he smiles – which IS just damn adorable. And he does NOT like it when I talk or anyone talks to me while we are nursing – he cuts his eyes at me and PULLS off. And I think it’s funny. Until he hurts me, then not so funny anymore. He is also blowing raspberries and loving to be kissed all over. After you smother him he then covers you in Liam Kisses and leaves you a wet goopy mess and he just LOVES it. He smiles all the time. He’s just the Happiest Baby Ever. He gives his smiles away pretty easy but the laughs take some work – if you happen to know the Super Secret Special Sound to make him lose his mind then you can make him laugh from another room but otherwise you’ll just be blessed with the sideways smile and nose scrunching.

He stands up SO well these days! He’s getting so strong & agile & I feel like it’s all happening so fast! When he has tummy time on Mommy he doesn’t like to keep his arms up in position but when he does he is accomplishing his baby push-ups and pushing his legs and butt into the air!

Liam is a little cuddler, as most little boys tend to be, but for me it’s just the sweetest part of him growing up – the Mommy Hugs. He just snuggles right into you and I can smoother him with kisses all atop his head and neck and squishy cheeks & he LETS ME!

Like I said, there’s so much changing and developing these days that it’s overwhelming and hard to recapture in a monthly wrap-up so I’m going to try and be better about posting more often so that I can help myself remember all these moments with Liam.

VACA!

Liam's favorite part of his activity center is his animal noise maker. His favorite by FAR is the cow. You hit it once and it moos, again and it says cow, again and it says vaca again and it plays Old McDonald. He will hit the cow 8 out of 10 times - I counted it yesterday.

Although I'm getting a tad sick of sing E-I-E-I-O, he loves it. I fondly refer to that damn cow as Mother Vaca (say it out loud and quickly).

But how can you hate it so when this is the face looking up at you after he hits it?

Just so you know

It was a year ago today we found out we were pregnant :)

Growing Boy!

I know I mentioned that I took the pillow away from underneath Liam's feet in the activity center a couple of weeks ago but just this week, OVERNIGHT, he grew some more & I was really only able to tell because of the activity center.

His feet were touching the bottom but not Fully. Leanne & I put him in it the next day and BOOM his feet were FULLY FLAT on the ground!!

I'm positive this is also what is making him being able to stand so well when we hold him up - he's a ton more stable now & you can feel the strength in his legs increasing daily.

And also, overnight, he went from a size 1 diaper to a size 2! I know this was "overnight" because he peed through his sleeper, blanket & sheets TWICE in one night. And this little guy gets so upset when he pees through, he does his sad cry & just wants to be held and cuddled. Unfortunately, we had just gotten some size 1 diapers when we were in AoE but thankfully, we had size 2 diapers since my diaper cake from my baby shower were made totally of size 2 PAMPERS!!

My Boys

This morning I was surrounded by My Boys in bed. Monkey was on the side by the edge of the bed with his head on my arm all tucked into me, Liam was on the other side between his Daddy & me, then Daddy was over on the other side with his arm under Liam, me & Monkey. Only one missing was My Girl, and it turned out she was in the room, just not in bed with us! I wished I had a tripod set up to capture the moment but I simply had to close my eyes and commit it to memory. And then I went back to sleep surrounded by My Boys.

Later in the morning, Daddy & Liam were watching Transformers & lying on the floor and it was just the sweetest little boys moment.

I know I have tons of those moments to come.

Picture of the Day

Just hanging around

NapTunes

It seems that if you play The Beatles for our little Fellow that he sleeps for hours. HOURS. Yesterday it was almost 2 ½ hours, today, he’s been down for close to an hour already!

YIPPEEE!! We’ve found the golden ticket!! No more Cat Napper!! We have a portable CD player that I bought years ago for Tour Time Hotel Music Needs and I just plugged it in up there and he’s OUT.

Matias started to list off all these albums he liked and I just stopped him and said “I have 3 Greatest Hits CDs, that will do”. So now, I’m listening to The Beatles through the monitor. I actually got to take a shower and get ready all while he’s napping!

I love the smell of Naptime in the morning.

Our Visit to the Park!

Liam & I went over to Kym & Joey’s to go the park last week – it was his first trip to a park! We had other playdates arranged but rain always seem to cancel them out during the summer-time…so this was his first venture to the land of swings and slides!

He didn’t much care for the swing – don’t worry, I sat with him in my lap, arm completely wrapped around him! He almost started to cry so I jumped off right quick, but the slide was a different story. He smiled the whole way down and I think I could have gotten a laugh out of him if we repeatedly kept going on it but Mommy’s Ass (it deserves to be capitalized at this moment in time) was -->thisclose<-- to getting stuck while going down and we couldn’t have that happen in public!

He also loves taking walks in the wind – he talks the whole time, ok jibber-jabbers, and smiles and when you check on him he’s expression reads Pure Bliss. So we go Wind Walking and it keeps/makes him happy! Hopefully, it’s also working off some of Mommy’s Ass in the process too. Cause trust me, I’ve never been one of Those People who find themselves sitting on the couch and thinking “I should do some sit-ups right now” and then ACTUALLY DO THEM. Oh, the thought crosses my mind but then I go eat some Halloween candy or something.

Listener Supported – Liam Approved

On Saturday when Daddy went to play soccer and it was too cold for us to venture out with him to watch, I decided to put on a DMB DVD to see what Liam’s reaction would be…he was ENRAPTURED. Loved every single second of it & enthusiastically approved of the many close ups of Dave (would SMILE and giggle) and he appears to be a Roi fan! He sat on my lap and just watched & listened. It was so darling! The good thing about the gas fireplace is the reflective glass covering it, you can watch his reflection in it (and see what Daddy’s up to in the kitchen!) without having to be in front of him. It was just too cute. I wonder if all the times of us listening & the four shows he went to had any effect? Like was he thinking, “FINALLY! So THAT’S what that guy looks like!” and “isn’t he funny when he dances?” Carter or Stefan didn’t get much of a reaction out of him and Boyd started to gain his attention later into the show, but for the time being he’s ALL about Dave & Roi.

His favorite song, BY FAR, is Rhyme & Reason, not the BEST song for a baby but he just goes batshit crazy for it. I had to play it again for Daddy to see & his little legs were stuck straight out, feet jamming & squeals were being emitted at top decibel. So Rhyme & Reason, it is. I was a little bummed that Satellite wasn’t on the set list ONLY for the reason of wanting to see what his reaction would be to someone singing it who sounds decent and to discover that there’s more than one verse. Of course, he really like PNP intro and then was pleasantly surprised with Rapunzel – I wish I could have captured it on film but I didn’t want to risk putting him down and sitting on his own only for him to start crying and then ruin the moment for him (and the picture!) so I left him alone with his new found joy.

It was really fun to watch him react to The Boys – he really got a kick out of it – and the smiles to prove it! I was joking that Listener Supported would be on Saturdays, GORGE on Sundays…you get the picture…but I’m not at all afraid to throw one in if he decides he’s going to get fussy on me & we are out of things to do!

Picture of the Day

I just cannot help but love that little face.

Growth Spurt

It seems our Little Liam Fellow has had a growth spurt in the past 48 hours or so!

A couple of days ago we had to bolster him up on his activity center by putting a throw pillow under his feet & when I put him in it today, he doesnt need the pillow anymore. When did that happen??!?

He has been sleeping longer in the afternoon but I was just thinking he rearranged his schedule again since the Evil, Evil Time Change of 2006 and he was going to sleep longer in the PM Nap Time Slot but it seems he must have been growing during that time!

I hope he still takes long naps in the afternoon though - those were nice! ;)

Liam's First Halloween, y'all

Liam in his Baby's First Halloween outfit his Auntie gave him. Throwing his feet up in the air as he is doing all the time these days, I just thought it was fitting that his little footsies said BOO! on them :)















Mommy with her Tigger getting ready to go out Trick or Treating - notice that Liam is holding his goodie bag (yes, Grandma that IS the bag you sent his books in!) all on his own!



Daddy with his baby Tigger and all his candy he got when we went out - notice the whiskers, courtesy of Mary Kay & my free gift of brown lip liner. That's probably the most use I'll get out of that...

Busy Boy

Liam likes talking on the phone - here he is "talking" to Grandma yesterday morning. I usually take the phone away from him when he starts licking it or attempting to shove it in his mouth along with his fists.


Check out the Big Boy in his Big Activity Center! This was the first time I put him in it & he swiveled himself around and touched and whacked and played with every single damn thing on this Monster.



Tummy Time Break - taking a little break from his push-ups to smile at Daddy. He really likes his snake & it has really helped in helping him enjoy Tummy Time which he detests.

Big Day!

Oct. 24th - Liam started sucking his thumb

Last week, Liam found his thumb & started taking naps in his crib - a big day for everyone involved! Mommy sucked her thumbs for many, many years & I have no problem whatsoever with Liam sucking his thumb. We just arent sure how much what thumb he sucks relates to if he'll be left or right handed...he's an equal opportunity thumb-sucker at the moment, so we'll just wait and see.

Oct. 25th - Liam starting napping in his crib



Here's also a picture of Liam taking his first nap in his Big Boy Bed! Every since he's learned to roll onto his side (Oct. 23rd he started rolling from his back to his side and then back onto his back), he's LOVED sleeping on his side, in fact, if you flip him onto his side you can almost always get him to sleep in under 35 seconds.



And this last picture is just humorous to me :) I did NOT put his chupie there, he did it himself. I swear. I only put toys on his head, not chupies on his face.

Cuteness Overload

I have a bunch of really great pictures from the past couple days that I want to post but I'm having issues deciding on which ones!!

I'll probably get over those issues after he goes down to bed tonight and just post a slew of them :)
