Our Journey to Liam: Another month flies by

Well, another month has gone by and again it went quickly. Today, we went to the Doctor's for Liam's ten month visit. He is doing great. He has gained another 3 pounds since his last visit; so that makes it 6 1/2 pounds since we are home. He also grew 2 inches. We finally made it to the 50th percentile in weight. Pretty good. You can tell by his cheeks. They are getting bigger.

For Easter, we went to Long Island and Liam got to meet more of his cousins. There was so much activity. He didn't really sleep much that day because he can't miss anything. If he knows something is going on, he is going to be in on it. He loves spending time with the children. They make him laugh and keep him busy. We had a really nice day.

The weekend after Easter, Liam met his Uncle Tim, Aunt Julie and the Duffy cousins from Ohio. He loved being in the middle of action with them. Having 4 boys in the house under 5 was fun. They were every where and Liam had to be where they were. He just forgets he can't walk or sit on his own; kinda holds him back. But he gets where he needs to with his walker. We miss them since they moved to Ohio. Hopefully, we will take a trip this summer/fall to visit.

The weather has been so unpredictable the last 4 weeks. One day it is freezing, the next day we are at the park because it is so nice. Liam loved his first visit to the park. He really liked going on the swings. We went with our friends visiting us from Va., Liz and Daniel. We had a great time. Daniel was the greatest little helper. He helped me with everything, including changing diapers. We sure miss them and wish they lived closer.

We have been practicing sitting with Liam. Liam sits when we place him somewhere, but he can't do it himself. He is definitely stronger and sitting in one place longer, but just not able to push himself into the sitting position without help. We also have been introducing some solid foods to Liam. So far, peas, carrots, banannas and puffs. We tried a couple of weeks ago and he gagged. Today, he ate the peas and carrots with no problem. He also had some puffs. Pretty exciting.

We went into the city a couple of weeks ago and walked through Central Park when everything was blooming. It was so pretty. Liam likes looking at the trees. We ate at an outside cafe and there was a steady flow of people walking by. While Keith was in the bathroom, some man walking by starts singing to Liam. Liam was laughing up a storm. I have no idea what the man was singing, as it was in a different language. Keith comes back from the bathroom to see this man singing to us and is wondering what is going on. Only in NYC.
