Exactly What I Was Afraid Of

Turns out I was right about taking Liam somewhere to get his hair cut. I was afraid they would hear the words coming out of mouth, but not actual listen to me. That must have been what happened because I don't remember saying I wanted his hair to look like a helmet or be uneven or that I wanted him to look like a Goober. I used none of those descriptions, yet here ya have it folks. All of the above.

Not only did he get this ridiculous looking haircut, but we had to pay for it. And he got a lollipop and TV out of the deal because it was the only way we could get him to sit still and not freak out. What a waste of a good bribe.

Now Featuring Livi O'Neill

Tomorrow Is The Big Day

3 Month Update

Livi, according to the doctor, "is the size of a small 8 month old". Makes sense to me, after all, she has to make room for that big old heart she has ;)

Cheesiness aside, she is doing just fine. She is 15 pounds and 24 and a half inches long. She has found her hands and will stare at her fist in front of her face. She has begun sucking her thumb to self-soothe. It helps her fall asleep. Speaking of sleep, we are getting alot of it around here (finally!). She started to go to bed at the same time as big brother and in his room too. She is waking up only once to eat and then goes right back to sleep. She takes about 3 or 4 naps during the day too. I was so dreading the whole room sharing thing because of my experience with Liam and sleep, but so far it's been a breeze. Those things have a way of changing though, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

She is starting to giggle and squeal. She starts going to "school" tomorrow with Liam. Liam is excited and I am... dealing. Aunt Tina sent me this link to make me feel better about it all and it did because I know she is in good hands.

Disney World

So it wasn't everything we hoped it would be, unfortunately. Life is like that sometimes I guess. Liam had been just a little bit under the weather the days before we left, but we honestly thought he was getting over it and that it wouldn't affect the trip much. Wrong! I underestimated how much being away from home can affect a little one. Between that and the crazy heat, Liam was pretty much out of it on Thursday and Friday. You could tell he wanted to have a good time and he did to some extent, but he was just way too groggy to get the whole experience.

He didn't want to go on any of the rides, but really loved the parades. I can see how it would be easy to spend a whole day there. We left early, around 3:30, and didn't do even close to half of what the park has to offer. The good news is that we used our credit towards a seasonal annual pass so we will be able to try again on the other side of summer. And he did wake up back to his old self (mostly) in time for Mother's Day and a trip to downtown Disney.

Happy Mothers Day Mommas!
