Did this week even happen?

Man, this week has been killer... it went by so fast that it feels like it didn't even happen.
I had a therapeutics test on Tues... my friend awesomely said that it was the only HIV test she hopes to test positively on LOL (I hope I do too). Today was a hectic day- we had to work up cases on Crohn's Disease AND pancreatitis. It was a joy. Even though I complain about my busyness and classes, I actually LOVE learning about diseases and treatment and drugs and am so excited to be a pharmacist. So soon- 1 1/2 years sans residency! Anyway, the reason for this post is I thought I would post today to jot down a few of Liam's recent happenings, if only to remember them for my journal.

Liam is my love. I absolutely love little boys. I hope our next baby is a boy so Liam will have a little buddy and we can buy them a bunkbed and they can be best friends. Like I have mentioned, he learning to walk! I love it, and he loves it. He gets so excited when he walks, especially when Jason sees him- I can tell he wants his Daddy to be proud :) He 'talks' a lot more now, whispering and babbling and screeching dadadadadadadadada (it's the only word he can say right now!) He loves to stick out his tongue. He is still fascinated with faces and likes to pull noses, grab for eyes, and yank out hair. He loves being held by Mommy. He is learning to blow and sometimes will sigh really loudly. He still loves peekaboo. He likes to watch and listen to me whistle (he thinks its funny and laughs). He is getting really good at laughing, especially when we tickle him. He is a very independent eater, and is developing a little stubborn streak (haha). He is very smart- he knows how to turn the TV on and off and realizes that that's what happens. He LOVES books. Probably his favorite toy/interesting thing right now. He still doesn't have any teeth! I am glad because I love his little gummy smile :)

Well, that's just a little about him! He is a little doll. We are getting family pictures next week and I will post them when I have them.

First Step.

It happened.
Yesterday while my visiting teachers were over Liam took his first step. He was cruising around holding onto the couch, let go, and took a step!

He grabbed onto the couch right after to catch his balance. OH it was so exciting! He is on the move. Side note, he loves to try ANY new food (ok, honestly he hates limes, but about anything else he will scarf down..), particularly pizza crust, spaghetti, bananas, hamburger, and fig newtons (grandpa's special office treat). He needs calories to power his
little thunder thighs to be
strong and cruise :)
I love my little petey bird.




In other exciting news, I can tell you what happens and what to do if your child takes to much tylenol, or aspirin, or iron, or any of the other popular poisoning preparations. I am in Tox this semester and think it's really interesting. We learn about poisonings and what goes on at the Poison Control Center. Actually quite a number of specially-trained pharmacists work the cases there- it is a subsidiary of the College of Pharmacy at the U. There are some fascinating things that the PCC handles and I am just loving this class.




Jason is interviewing for bioengineering positions right now and is so excited to have a career! I am excited for him too- I'll be so interested to see what kinds of awesome things he will develop.



I'm so proud of my Dilbert ;)
