cheerio!

or cheerios. last friday liam tried cheerios for the first time. not much of a pincer grip yet, so the fist into the mouth is his method of giving himself cheerios. has about a 50/50 shot at keeping them in his mouth, which of course liffey loves. he'll eat them anytime and seems to enjoy himself!

and with not so great news, liam had his first fever this week. luckily, aunt lynn was on top of it. we watched him and gave him baby tylenol (which he hates, still), and today his fever seems much better, but his cough sounds not so good still. but he's eating like a champion (as usual), so at least he is feeling good enough to eat!

cheese, glorious cheese!

we gave liam some shredded mozzarella cheese last night while we were eating dinner. although he had some trouble figuring out how to pick it up AND put it in his mouth, he was upset when the 3 or 4 tiny pieces i gave him were gone. so i had to give him more. and more. and more. but that was mostly because half of it ended up in his lap instead of his mouth. luckily, his liffey was MORE than happy to clean him up.

latest updates

liam has all sorts of new skills. he has started to "cruise" the furniture - getting from one end of the couch to the other without getting down to crawl. bill put together liam's "shopping cart" that he got for xmas, and within 1 week, liam has learned how to take several steps behind it instead of just 1 or 2 before falling on his knees. he still loves to bang on his "piano" and table he got for xmas. bill and i know all the songs from the play table, if anyone ever wants to hear them. :)

liam is having fun with his border collie friends marvin and silk visiting. he thinks they are pretty funny. marvin and silk think that liam is big enough to play with them and keep bringing him toys. so far, liam hasn't caught on.

on sat. afternoon, liam and i are off to our friends' baby shower. they are expecting boy/girl twins from a donor embryo cycle. liam picked out some of his favorite things to give to his new friends.

another friend's blog

i just added a link to my friend sandi's blog. i met her online with other infertility vets. she is in the waiting phase of her adoption, which is not easy. please feel free to check it out and give her a little support.

thanks!
