The Changes in Liam

I keep saying how different Liam is and it is so true! Here are some photos to illustrate Liam on the move other than his one armed commando crawl that I used to call the Quasimodo crawl (he really looked weird the way he commando crawled). Today he's going to have his first physical therapy appointment in three weeks. I can't be here as I took time yesterday to be at his first occupational therapy appointment ever, which I think we all agreed we'll have one more and if he's still doing well we can drop those. Niki will have the fun of showing Ruth all the cool things Liam can do now. I did talk to her on the phone earlier this week and she is incredulous that he's doing so much now. I wish I could see the look on her face when she sees what Liam can do now.

Here's Liam with something his brother wants. Sometimes Liam will let Tommy take stuff from him and he doesn't care. When he does care, he just stays on the move and Tommy follows him.



Here's Liam popping up to sit (a new skill in the last three weeks) and Tommy trying to take the opportunity to take the camera lens cap from him.



Here's a little cameo appearance of Tommy's full face when he's not trying to find trouble of his own.



Here's a new common view in our house. Two boys on the move, crawling through the house. Liam just started crawling on his hands and knees in the last week or two. Now he doesn't drop to commando crawl very often at all.



Here's standing Liam! Next to his sister's very long leg. Wow! I didn't realize her bottom of her leg is about as big as her brother.



Here's a cute little pic of Liam's face with chocolate on his lips if you look close enough.



Here's one last photo of Liam kneeling in front of a table toy. If you have any idea how hard it used to be to get him to kneel in front of a toy, you'd know how huge this is!



Congratulations, little Liam! You've come a long way, baby! I mean toddler!

Yay for Liam! That's great that he's making so much progress so quickly. I guess kids really do things in their own sweet time, huh?

Those are some great pictures. I was beginning to wonder how your house could look so neat and put together with babies around and my house looks like a tornado hit it with just 1 8 year old so I was very happy to see some toys. ;-)

Seriously, though, I am glad to hear they are doing so well!

They definitely do things on their own time. We have one grandson that we thought would never learn to talk. Now we would like for him to learn to be quiet and NOT TALK.

Way to go Liam! :)

I still remember the pic of you standing on the doorstep on your way to have the boys...it gave me hope that I wouldn't have to be preggers FOREVER! And now, the boys are growing SO fast!

Such beautiful boys, Heather! *hugs*

wow! congrats :) go liam.
LOVE the little chocolate mouth!

And he's doing SO, SO well. What does the occupational therapist do vs the physical therapist?

I know what you mean about incredulous - sometimes I look at my two and can't BELIEVE they can crawl - they're not babies anymore, Heather. You have little boys!!! Gorgeous little boys

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni
