9 months and Growing

9 months ago today I gave birth to Liam and boy how fast time has gone!!  He now weighs 19 lbs. 8 oz. and he is 28 inches long.  He is a fast crawler getting into all kinds of things that make mommy cringe and think he sure is different than his sister was at this age. I guess boys will be boys!!!

He is a happy boy, smiling and giggling all the time.  I think everytime he smiles I fall in love with him all over again.  He is very loving baby, giving many baby hugs and kisses throughout the day.  He stands on his own and cruises from the couch to his activity table or end table.  He loves to pull himself up and play.  He says, "ma ma, mum mum, da da, bo bo and ba ba."  He just started waving bye-bye.  Today at the doctor when the nurse was poking his toe for the anemia test, he started waving bye-bye to her.  I think he was thinking she should hit the road and leave him alone!! 

Liam loves his sister and she loves him.  He often starts to giggle at the sight of her and she always says, "Aww brother, you're so cute, I love you."  I hope they are always close even though I'm sure things will change as they get older.

For the past couple of months, Liam has been on antibiotics for his ears.  Today was a follow-up check along with his 9 month check-up.  I was disappointed to hear that his right ear hasn't not improved to his doctor's satisfaction and we have been referred to a specialist with the possibility of Liam having ear tubes placed.  I was crossing my fingers and praying that his ears would be better but I know it's best now to look at other options to fix them. I think for any mom, the thought of having their child go through any procedure brings a sense of worry. I will keep you updated once we know more.










As fast as these 9 months have gone, I have enjoyed every minute of it (yes even the sleepless nights)! I thank God everyday for my happy, healthy boy and I love being his mommy!!!
