To start off, Liam had his 9 month check up the other day and the little fella weighed in at 21lbs. 7 oz and is 29 inches long. He's seriously growing like a weed. He's standing by himself more and more...he's probably going to start walking any day now.





Life's been busy lately. I've worked the last few weekends to get back to my regular schedule after all of our out of town plans and I'm completely exhausted. Unfortunately Liam isn't really helping me out with this predicament. Instead of taking a nap he's standing in his crib alternating crying with banging his binky on the side of the crib...crazy, stubborn kiddo! He's so tired...but alas, he thinks he should be playing instead of sleeping. I do believe he is going to be a little bit of a strong willed child as he gets bigger. He has gotten more and more fun each day...the other evening Matthew was playing in the floor with him and was tossing the ball to Tucker and Liam would belly laugh as he watched Tucker pounce around...it was such a sweet sound to hear him get so tickled!



Other than being a little sleep deprived, which I hear comes with the mommy territory everything else seems to be going great. Works been crazy busy...we were so full that we were turning down transports the last time I was there, and it's been a long time since that's happened. For those of you who know what this means, we had 8 High Frequency Ventilators running at once. That basically means we had 8 really, really, really, really sick babies...3 or 4 of which were 23 weeks gestation. It gets really rough on the unit when there are so many critical patients.

Okay, enough about work, on the home front we're busy rearranging some of our furniture. My aunt is letting me borrow her treadmill so we're trying to find a place to put it for now...cause i seriously need to start using it! I was walking 3 miles in the mornings, but we live by two schools and since school started it's really hard to go walk early cause of all the traffic...and if you wait too late in the morning then it starts getting too warm to exercise outside. Ugh! It will eventually cool off a little bit, but probably not until later in October or into November.

Well that's about all that's going on in the exciting life of Matthew and Amy..though it's probably not really too exciting. Hope everyone is doing well.
