Liam 11 months

Liam 11 months

Wow time is flying.  My baby is 11 months and I am so in love with him! Liam continues to be a really happy and content baby bringing lots of you to so many people he meets.  Luckily for him, this past month has been a lot more calm and Liam is not nearly as Mommy sick as he was in the USA.  He will let others hold him again, and doesn't immediately cry if I leave the room.  In a few days he will embark on the life of daycare and as I write this I am tearing up.  I just love spending time with him and I will miss him dearly.  I feel so grateful for all the time we've had together these past 11 months and I try to remember that even though I won't be with him for his every waking hour, I will still get a lot of time with him!  

Some other notable things this month

1) HE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT! It was a miracle indeed.  I had asked our small group from church to pray for Liam to sleep better, as I was just so exhausted and anxious every night having to get up 3-4 times a night and needing to stay in with him for long periods of time.  That same night Liam slept from 7pm to 6am without making a peep.  It kept up for the next few days, and then we really started to believe a  miracle had happened!  He is still sleeping from 7pm to about 5:30am...so this is amazing!!! 

2) I installed the bike chair on my bike and Liam loves riding there when we pick up the boys from school.  If he gets fussy, he likes to hold my hand and then he will just say "bah bah bah" the whole time!

3) We swear that he says "hi" when he waves...not every time, but definitely more than once!

4) Lunches are a bit challenging.  Some days he won't eat anything.  At the beginning of the month he didn't like rugbrød at all--I guess not having it for 4 weeks could make a difference--:-) But then we found out if we soak it in water a bit, then it is easier to eat and he can still pick it up himself.  His favorite toppings are: Fig, avocado, banana, chicken salad, salami.  The funny thing is though that he knows what he wants and will pick things off and leave the bread.

5) When his toys play music he starts bobbing up and down to the beat!

6) His hair has grown so much and is really long!  It curls in the back and around the ears! So cute!

7) Especially at meal times we will make really high noises and point at the table until we figure out what he wants.  A lot of times it isn't something he can have or should hold and then he gets really mad.

8) Everyone we meet says he looks so much like me...what do you think?
