You've got to admire his moxie

For the love of all that's holy...

SHUT UP! Liam has been fussing with only very short interim naps for about 12 hours. As I write this now, I've gotten 2 hours of sleep.

Is this not the creepiest baby toy you've ever seen? It's called the Cirque Du Soleil DooLoo Travel Toy. It looks like a cross of several Miyazaki characters in my opinion, but hey, maybe there some uber-pretentious parents who want their kid playing with this instead of something common like, say, Tickle-Me Elmo.

Liam's check up

We just got back from Liam's nine month check up. He weighs 18 lbs 4 oz, is 27.5" long, and his head is 41.5 cm. That puts him in the 25th percentile for height and weight, and 50th for his head, which the reverse from his previous stats. I thought his noggin looked a little disproportionate. That might be why he's been falling over a lot lately. Liam's also right on track for all his developmental stuff.

Other fun news is that he's cutting another tooth. His upper left incisor is bulging out of the gum line. I with it would just come in and be over and done with. Currently, he's got a fever and is being extra fussy. I hope he shapes up before Friday.

So Sis. Shelly, otherwise known as the pioneer dress lady, yesterday told me that the three skirts I made for her mom don't fit because she gained weight, and that the fabric she bought for two other dresses are now going to be used to make a pageant dress. So she came and got the rest of the fabric for the skirts, and now I'm wondering if I've been fired. She wasn't mean about any of it, and she also didn't say that it was my fault, I'm just feeling a little miffed and unappreciated. Oh well. At least I don't have to make anymore of those %$*&^ dresses.

Wish me luck in getting through this week!
