(Recent photo of our Dog Wally and Liam looking out the window. A photo I will cherish forever.)
Has it really been since November 9 since I posted? At night when I’m trying to get to sleep I think of all the thoughts going through my head and that I want to post them here. But then I never seem to find the time. Between working and home life, there isn’t a lot of extra time.
It’s hard to believe that Liam will be 1 year old. Where does the time go? I love him more and more each day if that is possible? I’m really enjoying this age. He is crawling now, and enjoying crawling up the stairs. I know he will be walking before we know it!
He is a spunky little guy. His laugh makes me grin from ear to ear. In the morning when he wakes up, he talks in his crib for awhile. We listen to him on the monitor. Sometimes he will laugh. It is one of those moments I want to cherish forever. This miracle that was brought to us. How blessed we are to have him in our life.
It’s come to the point where I will be weaning him soon. The past two mornings he isn’t as interested in nursing in the morning. He still loves to nurse at night before bed. I am having so many mixed emotions about it. I have so cherished this time with him and am thankful that my body has allowed me to provide to my child for this long. But at the same time, I’m done with pumping. Pumping is getting really old and I’m not making as much as I used to. Plus Liam isn’t drinking as many bottles at daycare anymore. He enjoys his adult food more and more. I know it’s going to be a gradual process but something I will miss. It’s been my life for a year. On the weekends during the day, Liam will come up to me and start making his sucking sound as if to say, “Feed me Mommy”. Oh how I’ve cherished this time with him. But it’s another phase within this amazing experience of watching him grow.
I’m looking forward to Christmas this year with Liam. To see him unwrap his gifts, and see the joy in his face. I know I will have a heavy heart as well thinking of Nathaniel and Grace. Even though they aren’t here, they are on my mind, especially around the holidays. I am so grateful for Liam. Every time I look at him I’m reminded of that.
I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. I hope that you all receive what you are hoping for. And even though it’s tough sometimes, to be grateful for what you have been blessed with.
