Liam Addison is two months!

On June 9th Liam celebrated his two month birthday! 
He is getting so big, it seems as though he is learning/doing more everyday!

6/10/2011 Liam went to Dr. Uthe's for his two month check up and the dreaded shots! 

I gave him tylenol about a half hour before we left the house. Our appointment was at 1:10, and we got there about 1:00, did I mention you have to walk clear through the parking garage and across the hospital? We waited until 1:20, then the receptionist told us Dr. Uthe was behind and we would need to come back...at 3:40. I was so angry, before Liam this wouldn't have bothered me at all, but I changed our whole schedule around to fit the doctor in, fed him early, made him nap earlier, annnnd, carried him all the way there! Ugh. I tried to be nice and ask if there was any way they could squeeze us in, because of the inconvenience, sure enough..no.

Liam and I went out for lunch, had a quick diaper change in the car, and ate his afternoon bottle in the lobby. This time I put him in his travel system! :) 

Liam weighed 12lbs. 12oz. and was 22.75in long! 
She said Liam is growing well, and instructed us to do some neck exercises as he is favoring one side of his head, she was just worried about his head becoming too flat! So we do it 3 times/day for two minutes!

He then got his shots..I have only see Liam cry to the point where there are tears in his eyes once, this was the second time. I felt horrible..poor thing! He was a little tired that night, and woke up once during the night to eat. I'm glad he wasn't super fussy!

That Sunday Liam and I went to Grinnell and Brooklyn. 
We attended Jamie's baby shower & met Mr. Sully, hung out with Granny Lorraine, and went to a friend's 3 year old birthday. Liam also got to see his birthday buddy! 

On June 16, I went back to work. Our new routine consists of me waking Liam up about 4:45 to get dressed and eat a bottle, then he goes back down until he and Daddy leave for the day. I cried on the way to work, I just felt so guilty leaving him! My coworkers did welcome me back, and made the morning a lot easier! 
At 10am, I called to check on him, and Miss Sherrie said he was having a great day, but when Breck called again at around 2, she said he was a little fussy...He only slept 40 minutes all day. I was so sad that he didn't/couldn't stay awake to play that night. 
I got off work early (thank goodness!) I was so happy to see Liam! ..it still hasn't gotten any easier leaving him! His provider is wonderful, and Liam seems to really like her. I really miss spending all day with him, and watching him smile & play. I'm just too afraid I will miss out on a milestone! 

6/19 Liam and Daddy celebrated their first Father's Day together! During the day Breck went to a race with his dad, Liam and I hung out & made Daddy's card! Then we went to Grandpa Mark's to have supper with him, Wendi & Daddy! 

I love watching Breck with Liam. He is such a good dad. I love the way he talks to him and has tummy time with him! I am truly blessed! 

Pictures soon!

Liam's eighth week

L is growing up so fast, I can't believe it! 

We have established a wonderful routine & Liam sticks to his schedule(unless he is constipated.)

Liam usually wakes up at about 6:45-7am for his bottle & a diaper change, he usually goes back down for a nap after that for about 1-2 hours. He then eats again at 10am & stays up for an hour after that, playing, singing, or reading with Mommy. Then he sleeps until 1, and we eat again, he plays until 2 and sleeps again. After his 5pm bottle he is up until about 9ish, takes a short nap, then has bathtime at 10pm, we read his bedtime stories, eat a bottle, then go to bed! 

Liam LOVES to play under his activity gym, he has started grabbing at his linkers & hanging toys. He's so alert & loves anything colorful. Liam also started cuddling with a tiny bear Daddy named, Fisher. Grandma Lisa recently gave Liam a jumperoo, but he his poor little legs can't reach the floor yet! He kicks all the time, so I think he will be a jumping fool in no time! I think we will try out his Bumbo seat sometime next week!

Liam isn't so crazy about his pacifier anymore, he will use it occasionally, but can live without it. He does love to suck on his fingers, hands, clothes & blankets though. He's so funny, if we put our hands/fingers anywhere near his mouth he instantly attacks them!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend, we BBQ'd with friends & Liam got to spend sometime outside, his first time with bug spray on, too! Liam is such a GOOD BABY, he just lays on the floor & plays when we visit friends...when he's not being held, of course! On Memorial Day we BBQ'd with Grandpa Bonnell & Wendi. I'm so glad Liam is close with all of his grandparents!

I'm still dreading going back to work...I try not to think about it!

Liam has his two month appointment & shots a week from today! I am so anxious to see what he weighs & how long he is! Breck & I estimate about 11 lbs.

Celebrating Memorial Day!

The FIRST time he didn't scream during his after bath routine!

Love, love, love his chubby cheeks!

Such a happy boy!
