The Beautiful Life of Liam James: Liam James

As usual, mama is late posting the blog...but we have been busy around here! Liam is crawling now and getting into EVERYTHING so I don't have time to sip my coffee and write a blog. But in all honesty, I LOVE this life. I cannot believe my baby is 10 months old already!

Liam keeps getting taller and chubbier. Everyone told us that Liam would "slim out" once he starting moving, but that is not the case. One day he just started crawling and was clumsy about it (he gets that from his dad, I swear.....) and all of a sudden he disappeared up the stairs. He is lightning fast, too. He still puts everything in his mouth - some new things I have found are bobby pins, tape, tags, and dog food. I swear I don't know where it all comes from. Anyone who knows me, knows I am a CLEAN FREAK and am constantly sweeping and vacuuming so where he finds those objects is beyond me. Terrifies me to think about what I haven't dug out of his mouth that he has ended up swallowing......

Sleep
Boy does this kid love his sleep! Now that Liam is pulling himself up and is mobil, napping hasn't been as good, especially at daycare. He used to take two 2 hour naps at daycare and that has turned into one 45 minute nap if we are lucky. So that has resulted in Liam going to bed between 6:30pm-7pm and now he wakes up at 7am. I guess I should have known that the blissful "Liam sleeps in until 8:30am" thing wouldn't last. He still sleeps about 12 hours straight which I am forever grateful for. Now if only I could go to sleep shortly after he does, I could actually get some good sleep. Of course, Liam is still sucking his thumb and is growing very attached to his lovie. He even sometimes tries to stick both thumbs in his mouth!

Eating Liam still LOVES to eat. I believe that is something that will never change. Now that he is crawling, his chubby body has been needing more calories. Just the other day, he polished off TWO grilled cheeses - no joke. Some of Liam's favorite foods are mac-n-cheese, scrambled eggs, apples, black olives, avocado, oranges, lemons (not kidding) and peaches. Oh, and any type of meat. He eats 3 solid meals a day plus has two snacks at daycare that are usually crackers or puffs. Liam is still drinking plenty of breast milk every day as well! Liam now knows how to sign "more" "done" and "SOOOO big"!
