Fall leaves

The other morning I was getting ready to leave for work.  Liam wanted me to pick him up to look out of our bedroom window.  I put him on my knee so he could see out the window.

"Weaves" he said.

"Yes the yard has lots of leaves."

"Wellow"

"That's right!  The leaves are yellow!"

It was so cute.  I love that yellow is one of his first words/colors at that. 

I miss being here.  I miss my kids. 

It was hard to leave for work that day.

Liam turns Two

Liam turns 2!

2 weeks ago Liam turned 2 years old!  Amazing!  He's a pretty healthy little guy.  Still has some problems with runny bowel and runny nose.  I've put us on a probiotic and I think that helps both him and I. 

He was small at his appointment, 24pounds I think, but that has been pretty normal for him.  I don't think our doctor is worried.  Daddy is the one that took Liam into his appointment.  I miss being the one to do that.

In the last month or so Liam has really expanded his vocabulary.  He'll try and say most words, and what is even better, we can often understand them! 

He has learned the word "Mine!" which must come with being around other children so often.

He is daring!  He jumps off the couch.  He'll jump off the arm of the couch!  I'm afraid he might hurt himself one of these times.

He wants to do everything sister does! 

Sometimes we think he might be ready to use the potty but other times, its hard to say.  I don't push it!

He is a handsome, wonderful little person with a great smile!  I'm very happy he is part of our family.

What i miss about blogging...

What  I miss most about blogging might be looking back and seeing so many great things about our lives.   Since I started blogging in 2007, blogging has become something else.  This huge platform that you can share some expertise, create community and even make money!  And while I have tried to do some of that, and I wish I had something great to share, when I look back at my blog books the best thing is the memories.
Blogging is harder for me with two kids. Two and a half kids. And a full time outside of the house job.   Anymore the online world overwhelms me with its judgements and its perfection.  There are some great resources out there, but there is also a lot of opinion.  So I've been avoiding it as of late.
And I have tried to get back into my blog many times over the last few years.  So I make no promises.  But I want to look back at memories of my boys like I have of my daughter. As challenging as we feel our life is right now, one day, I may want to remember it.

So today is the first of October. I like October. Not to fond of cold though. I turned on the heaters.  Baseboard heating is scary with small people around.  Bill melted something plastic in our room heater, now I'm afraid the house is going to burn down because we missed picking something up!
