He started crawling. I really need to do more baby proofing. The dangerous, breakable stuff is out of reach but the PITA stuff to keep picking up(DVS, books, etc), is still within reach. During these times, I am glad our great flood taught me that I don't need so much crap. Anyway, Liam and I went to the library Friday afternoon. We had run in so I could check out a quick book or CD but this was the first time we'd gone for him. We made our way up to the second floor. I was so excited to see that they still had a taranchula. When I was little, there was one in the children's room. It was gone for awhile and I was sad that Liam wouldn't get to be fascinated by the giant, scary spider. He barely noticed it, even when Beezus (the tarachula) was crawling around. Liam was a huge fan of the heat lamp, confirming my theory that the only place I ever need to take him is the Home Depot.
He looked at the fish and tried to grab at them. The we went to the board book section. He picked out a couple of books that look delicious. He can't actually stand on his own, but he is an excellent leaner. We took out a few books that came we have been reading over the past few days. I may try to get there every other Friday. There were also quite a few moms there. One came over to chat about our sons. I wish I had thought to go there awhile ago. I think it would have been tough before he was sitting on his own. I liked watching him explore.
Liam also attended his first concert this weekend. We went to Pops in the Park and enjoyed the Rhode Island Philharmonic. Mike and I realize how lucky we are to live in an area that provides a lot of free entertainment. We need to take advantage of it more often. I am so happy that, after a week of scary firsts, we had a week a fantastic firsts!
I'm glad he's feeling better! I've never taken Griffin to the library, but after reading this I want to. You can't beat free entertainment!
ReplyDeleteLiam loved it! In addition to books, ours has toys and other fun things to play with while there. He had a ball. Griffin would love it!
ReplyDeleteBaby proofing is such a pain in the butt! I used to have so many decorations- candles/vases/bowls etc. but now my house is bare as can be!
ReplyDeleteKerri, I just read back through all your posts that I had fallen behind on. I felt sad, chuckled out loud, and nodded my headed as I read. We can relate with all you write about except the loss of your Mom. I cannot even imagine how difficult that is not to be able to share all the little tid bits of that cute little boy's life. Glad you are bloggin about it because you will forever cherish these memories. Chuckled about the scene at the store when you were buying that sex book, LOL! You spend your younger stays swearing you won't be that mother and suddenly one day you are. Head nodding about the life as you know it, friends, camping etc forever change but I say for the better. You will find that many of your friends will change and end up being your Liam's friends parents. Our kids are 8 & 10 and we still prefer to be home hanging with them then out and about. Actually I was telling John the other day I wanted to go to Alaska for our 20 year anniversary in 5 years BUT I wanted to bring the kids. Funny how life changes and how much you love your children. You guys are SUPER parents, so proud of you two. Glad he is feeling better. Keep up the good work & writing. Love keeping up with what's going on in that little man's life. He's adorable. PS show Michael the picture of Luke on my facebook with his first duck. He will appreciate. Love u guys!
