Mallrat

It's 4:22 a.m. Liam just finished a bottle. He stirred a few times tonight, but this is the first time he woke up - with blood-curdling screams. So I changed a very wet diaper then decided to break down and give him a real bottle (not water). He downed it. Now he's watching sea creatures dance on his ceiling, the Muppet mobile is spinning, and Brahm's Lullaby is doing it's thing.

By the way - the whale on the sea creatures projector looks like Fudgie the Whale from the old Carvel commercials. Just sayin'.

So at 6 a.m. we started a great day (Feb.2). Liam & mommy got up, had a bottle, danced to the Wiggles, played with some toys, and got things ready for daddy's birthday breakfast. Then we both went back to sleep around 8:15. I got up at 10 and started breakfast...Liam stayed asleep for another half hour. Tired boy! Birthday breakfast was omelets with mushrooms, red & green peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese; meatless sausage links; and hash browns. Liam had pears & cereal.

Then we opened presents...played some more...and took another nap around 1 p.m. When Liam woke up, he had sweet potatoes and he ate yogurt for the first time! (he spit up a bit of the yogurt - the smell is awful!) But he seemed to like it. :o)

With full bellies, we headed out to the mall. This was Liam's second time in a mall. But the first time, he wasn't nearly as alert. Today he had fun in the stroller, watching the people & looking at all the lights. It was so cute to watch him just kicking his feet around, content as can be. Whenever there was a mirror in one of the stores, we played peek a boo in the stroller - he loved it. Although I think one of the guys in Banana Republic was getting a little ticked at us. Whatever. But Liam was so good - didn't fuss once the whole time we were out.

Back on the home front, Liam had peas & cereal and then his last bottle and went to sleep at 7 p.m. He stayed asleep until now -such a good boy! It's 4:33 a.m. now, and I think he's asleep once again. Gotta get some more sleep before church.

Good night, sweet boy.
