the stats are in...

Liam had his 6 month appointment today. He is 28 inches tall (90th percentile) and 16.6lbs (25th percentile). He is doing very well. he is rollingboth ways, has found his feet and loves to suck on his toes, he LOVES his jumperoo and "talks" all the time. The doctor decided to forgo the flu shot seeing as he had to be put on the new formula it means he could possibly have an egg allergy so she decided it wasn't worth the potential risk of giving him a flu shot and having a bad reaction. Liam did have to get 2 shots and the roto virus drink, he wasn't very happy tonight, he has a fever of 102 and was very uncomfortable so I gave him some tylenol before bed and hope he feels better in the morning.

I know I say this all the time but I'm really having a hard time believing he is 6 months old. It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital watching the season finale of Greys Anatomy scared out of my mind with Liam snuggled up next to me. I don't think anyone but a mother knows the love of a mother for their child. I didn't know that this much love was possible but it is and I am truely blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2010 started out very different for us this year. Brian and I ran (well brian ran, I walked briskly) the Turkey Trot at Maudslay State park. The course was more difficult than anticipated but we did it! After finishing the race we came home, showered and went over Brian's parents house where the boys had spent the morning. We had a wonderful Dinner and got to see some family members that we don't see very often. After dinner we surprised Brian's grandmother with a cake for her 80th birthday. It was a wonderful day!

Happy 6 months Liam!

I know I say this every month but I really can't believe that Liam turned 6 months old. Liam is doing better now that we have switched his formula again. He is on a prescription formula now that has no milk protiens in it at all. Liam can roll both ways and now. He has finally shown this, He used to just do it in his crib but we finally saw him do it the other night while we were playin gon the floor. He also LOVES the jumperoo. He jumps in there like no ones buisness! He is eating a little more baby food, pears and sweetpotatos are his favorite. He is starting to show signs that he he may start sitting up soon. Last time we were at the doctors he weighed 15.2lbs we go for his 6 month appt the week after Thanksgiving and we'll see what he's up to then. He is definatley growing and getting taller. We have pulled out the 6-9 month clothing and he is fitting into them more for the length, but he is starting to fill them out. We are so blessed to have 3 wonderful boys!!

My New Camera

For my 30th Birthday, Brian bought me a beautiful new camera. I've used it a couple times and LOVE it! I still have a lot to learn and need to really sit down and read the manual but for now I have it on the automatic setting and it's working. Eventually I would like to find a photography class to take, for now I'll just point and shoot.

Happy Birthday to Me

So this year I turned the big 3 0. Brian was nice and planned a family party for me and then planned a night out in Boston. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe for the Boston Comedy show. It was a wonderful night. A special thank you to all who helped us celebrate.

I have to say that 30 feels no different than 29. Except that I feel like the 30's are going to be my decade. I have lost 15lbs in the last 12 weeks and I'm going to be walking/running my first 5k on Thanksgiving. If a year ago you told me I was going to be doing that I wouldhave laughed at you! I plan on continuing with this healthy lifestyle and passing it on to my boys!
