Easter Eggs

It's midnight, and Liam is singing to himself. With his eyes closed. He just downed a bottle, and now he's having some trouble falling back to sleep. I bounced the mattress for about 10 minutes, but my arms are jelly and it doesn't seem to be helping anyway. Ugh. I'm just hoping he falls back to sleep soon, and that maybe this means he'll (we'll) sleep past 5:45 a.m.

So, this past weekend was Liam's first Easter. We drove down to Grandma and Grandpa's house - Liam did great on the ride down and slept all 4 and a half hours. We had such a fun time visiting with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Brian & Aunt T. We did the Easter stuff on Saturday, so we could leave when we wanted to on Sunday. Uncle Mike, Mary, and Diane, Lou & Bobby all came over to color eggs and we had a delicious lasagna dinner together.

Liam was the main reason for coloring eggs (although the "big kids" enjoyed it the most). Liam did well sitting at the table with everyone, but when it came to the eggs, he mostly just dropped them. Or tried to eat them. No throwing, but he gets distracted and forgets he's holding something. Then, smash. It made for some interestingly-colored egg salad on Sunday. :o)

And the Easter Bunny left Liam his first Easter basket.



It's 12:33 now - I've had to go back in and walk around with Liam for a while until he calmed down. Then I laid him down and had to bounce the mattress for another 5 minutes. I thought he was asleep again, but he keeps doing his little "Da da da da da da da" thing every few minutes. PLEASE stay asleep!

Good Night, Sweet Boy.
