New Year, New Discouveries

Despite Liam having RSV and the entire house getting sick, we had a good New Year. Our neice Kayla came and spent the night with us. We watched Pitch Perfect and laughed the entire way through. Then we played a very old video game, Guantlet. Yes a great night!

It was our first New Years in the new house so we weren't exactly sure what to expect from the neighbors. The people behind us leight fire works which we heard but couldnt quite see. Someone in the distance shot off illegal fireworks that went high in the sky and exploaded in a array of colors. Very beautiful. Then the neighbor a few houses down came out front and yelled "Merry Christmas" and we busted up laughing. I guess he heard us laugh because he decided to yell again "Merry Christmas" which only increased our laugher. Then his brain finnaly cought up and cleared a but from his drunkin state to yell "OOOOOHHH Happy New Year" before retiring back inside. We were in stitches.

Since then it's been "business" as usual. Liam still has yet to act sick, despite from sleeping more than normal. Although he's done it for a week now Im begining to think its just part of his new routine. Especially since he's been growing so much. I can feel weigh gain when I pick him up. He better learn to walk real soon because Im not sure how much longer Im going to be able to carry him. Guess its time to work out my arms huh.

The heel cups Liam's Physical Therapist gave him actually made it worse. We had him completely stopped from walking on his toes. It was one of the first things we started working on. Thanks to his shoes he stopped within a week. I put the heel cups in and he immediately starts walking on his toes again. It took 2 weeks before he started walking flat footed again. I don't know how the PT is going to feel about that but the heel cups were counter productive making him worse instead of better.

We bought Liam a wooden train table on clearance after Christmas sale and put it together yesterday. Well I guess you can say its Lanies too because she plays with it all the time. Anyhow. I spent like 45 min assembling the table itself and then another half hour just trying to put the track together like a jigsaw puzzle. Lets just say Hurricane Liam had the train derailled within 10 seconds of getting near the table....

But his smile as he destroyed it all was worth every minute...
 
 
Then Daddy decided Hurricane Liam should be escaladed to GODZILLA LIAM!!

And ofcourse we all laughed.

Today was a good day as well. Liam woke up in time to have cuddle time with Daddy before he went to work...


Then things got interesting and out of the normal. Liam was happy unless he was walking. All he wanted to do was walk and walk and well walk. And because Liam cant walk on his own, I hold his hands. He didn't want his walking toys today either. So for 2 hours, we walked around. Inside, outside.

And thankfully Lanie was around to snap photo's of us.


 
 
Baby boy is trying so hard to walk and be mobile. All thats stopping him from doing it himself is his ankles. One day little lamb, stay patient and keep your faith. <3 p="p">
