Back to my normal self

sorry bout that last post...a little doomy and gloomy.

But I'm ready to move forward, on to happier, less cynical things.

Thanksgiving! Its one of my favorite Holidays, right up there next to the 4th of July and Christmas. Besides all the daily grateful posts filling my feed on FB and Sunday school lessons on gratitude all month long, i also just love the season. Not quite winter but definitely cuddle-worthy colorful weather. We love the leaves, the pumpkins and gourds, the new candles fragrances and being justified in bringing a blanket with me everywhere I go.

Liams frist Fall Season has been beautiful. He genuinely loved leaves, loves to play in big piles of them, loves to crunch them under his feet and most notably, he loves to eat them.

Having Liam being born in January had been so cool as I've watched his "firsts" of everything! I can't believe how fast the year has flown and how much i love the little squirt. I'm positive that everyday I've kissed him and told him i love him more times than i could keep track of. He's such a special little man, so sensitive and loving, and yet so adventurous and care free.

Today I was doing Laundry, which like any other laundry day, means that we spent the whole day inside watching nonstop episodes of Gilmore Girls on Netflix, interrupted occasionally by wrestling with Liam in the hall(have i mentioned how much I love laundry day?). Each time an episode would end or start, the music would play and Liam would stop whatever he was doing, find me, and proceed to bounce and giggle. He knows how much I love it when he dances so as soon as he hears music, he comes and ushers me to the dance floor (our living room floor). He is the most giggly baby I've ever seen, to the effect that he will just laugh for no reason. I can hear him from across the house, randomly babbling then laughing at himself. He's always looking to play.

I love this little guy. So much.

I can;t believe he's mine half the time. I told Chad in the car last night that we have really got to step it up as parents because Liam should have so much more than who we are as parents right now. I hope we can be everything he needs, he deserves it.
