Daddy Day!

Thursdays are a special day. It's Daddy day. Every Thursday since Liam was born Daddy has been able to stay home with Liam. Well, except for this past summer where Grammy Walles came over-which we loved! Now summer is over and it is again Daddy day.

When I came home from work Evan told me all the wonderful things that Liam had done that day. When Evan went to get him from his crib after his morning nap he was pleasantly surprised by Liam sitting up in his crib. Back against the crib just chillin' out. Later in the afternoon while Liam was playing and Evan was working on the computer he says that Liam started using his toy to pull himself up to a stand from sitting.

Keep in mind I was only gone for 7 and 1/2 hours. How could he have done all these giant milestones while I was away!!!!  Now I may be overreacting. Well, ok yes I am overreacting. My baby boy is growing up!

Later that night while I was "helping" Evan lower Liam's crib mattress. I just kept feeling like I was not ready for this giant leap. And so I started arguing with Evan on how low his mattress should go. Notice how I have confessed that it was I who started the fighting. I kept saying "It's too low. I'm not going to be able to reach down and get him. You need to put the mattress back up to the second level. He's not ready for the third level yet." (Or I'm not ready for the third level yet!)

For any of you who know my husband you may know that he is not necessarily a handyman. In fact when he has to do any type of handyman work he usually gets extremely frustrated and may start swearing at ridiculous items such as a wrench or a hammer. So, to say the least my comments were not welcome...at all. Thankfully, my husband surrendered and brought the mattress back up to the safe second level. I felt like I could again breathe normally.

I know that as the days, weeks and months start to add up I cannot and will not be able to stop my little boy from growing up. I know this but yet it is still so hard to accept. Can't I keep him little forever???

I will try to start posting pictures on this here blog but have not yet figured out how to do it. Next time!
