So, staying at home has been great really, but as I sit here writing I hear Liam on the monitor screaming like his world has ended...instead of taking his nap like he's supposed to be doing. It's gotten to be even more fun now that he can pull himself up in his crib because now he stands up and screams and is less likely to fall back to sleep without intervention. :0)
Okay, back now...and the world is silent once again.
Things are going pretty well here. Matthew's job is working out pretty well right now and he's working on his MBA so he's going to be crazy busy for a while. If he's not at work he's usually either reading for class or writing a paper. We've been so busy with family in town, weddings, and then flying to WA for my high school reunion that it's nice to finally be home and slow down a bit. I'm sure Liam appreciates having his schedule back and staying in the same place for a while. I don't think we'll be flying again any time soon. After this last trip we've pretty much gotten our quota of fly time in. So even with Matthew's crazy schedule I'm working about 40 hours a pay period right now...I'm on night shift and I'm loving it. Our patient acuity has been pretty low lately though so I'm always wondering if I'm going to be called off....one of the downfalls of being PRN. Thankfully my mom has offered to come stay with Matthew and Liam on the weekends that I'm working so that Matthew will have time to work on his papers. Liam enoys his "Nana" time, and I think Nana enjoys her "Liam" time as well (though he is getting harder to haul around these days!).
Liam's pretty much growing like a weed. He started standing on his own a couple of weeks ago...I have a feeling he's going to be walking by he's 10 months old. He goes in for his 9 month check up tomorrow morning and I'm interested to see how much he weighs and what percentiles he's in for the weight and length. He's crawling around like a crazy man now...in fact this past weekend my mom came to visit and brought her cat, and let me just say that I haven't seen Liam move that fast before! That kid took off chasing after that cat and Hobie (that's the cat) didn't know what to do! It was hilarious! Liam's also working up to eating only table food now...he loves grilled cheese sandwiches, apple sauce, gold fish crackers, and graham crackers. Unfortunately it appears that he is going to have the same sweet tooth as his daddy so we have to limit anything that is even a little sweet or he'll eat all of the sweet stuff and leave everything else on his tray.
Johnny and Sharon came to visit at the end of August and we all had fun. In fact, Liam had his first trip to the zoo, and I think we enjoyed seeing all the animals more than he did. The toys on his stroller were a big hit with some of the other kids at the zoo. By the end of the day he was completely sacked out. Liam also got the spend some quality time with Grandma and Papa while I went to work and I think everyone had a good time! :0)
I think that's about all that's going on with the Baird family right now. This is my first time blogging so bear with me as I figure out how this all works!

I LOVE your blog!! Keep the postings coming so we can keep up with you guys from a distance!
Liam reminds me so much of Madison when she was that age. He really didn't know what to think of our family at the reunion, did he? Can't say I blame him, but we sure did have a good time. Keep 'em comin'!
yay, glad to hear you've joined the blog world! love the updates, keep 'em coming.
