Cute little story

I wanted to make a quick post to share a little story.

This week-end, we had such fun with Liam! He seems to get cuter by the day, if that is even possible.

He has been sleeping on his crib mattress on our bedroom floor, with pillows on the floor next to the mattress, so if he rolls off, he rolls onto pillows and not the floor. It wouldn’t hurt him if he did roll onto the floor – the mattress is only about 4 inches thick. But I imagine rolling onto the floor would be quite the rude awakening – literally!

Anyway, when we lay him down to nap, we generally turn on the monitor, close the bedroom door, and leave the room. Usually when he wakes from a nap, he either fusses or starts babbling. However, yesterday he did neither of these things. Nathan and I were standing in the living room talking about something, and the next thing we know, the bedroom door opens up, and out comes Liam crawling towards us with a big smile! It gave us a laugh.

In other news, things are going pretty well. He was sick with a stomach virus last week-end, and ran a fever for 3 days. Thankfully, he is better now. We took him to the pediatrician, and she pointed out that he is getting 2 more teeth (his top 2 front teeth). So once those pop through, he will have 3 teeth on the top and none on the bottom!

We put our Christmas tree up last week-end, and at first, he wasn’t overly interested. But now, he wants to pull on the branches. We obviously don’t allow this, as it wouldn’t take much for him to pull the tree over on himself!

He isn’t walking yet, but he is standing more and more again. He was standing on his own for a long period of time about a month ago, and then he stopped doing that for a while. I am learning this is a pattern with him. He did the same thing with rolling and with pulling up onto furniture – he would do it for a while, and then stop for a period of time before doing it regularly.

I have some new pictures to post, and will do so later.
