The past month

I haven't really blogged since Liam was born, and I apologize. It seems like nothing new has been going on. However, I know it's wrong. I'll start with Ty...
Two days before Liam was born, the city's financial system crashed. They lost everything from April until now. Ty was begging me not to go into labor on Monday (the day I did go into labor) because he needed to go to work at least in the morning and talk to his employees. Oops. He missed that day. Anyway, they were able to recover most everything, eventually. Lately though, he has been working a ton of overtime trying to re-enter payroll so they can get everything done they need to for the end of the year.
I am just trying to adjust to life with two kids. Liam still wakes up a couple times a night, so I don't seem to sleep much. The worst was the week everyone but me got the stomach flu. There was one night that I was up with Jordan every other hour, and on the off hour, I was up with Liam. Ugh. My big thing now is learning how to time things. Like, how much time is it going to take me to get me and two kids ready and out the door for church? Or, do I have to feed Liam before I take Jordan to preschool, or can he wait? And if he needs fed before school, how much do I need to shift my morning? It's things like that that I'm trying to get down now.
Jordan is in love with being a big sister!!! She's already taken it upon herself to teach him how to sit. Thankfully she's always holding him, or she has him propped on the middle of the couch, so he won't get hurt if he falls. The one that we did put a stop to was Jordan tyring to teach him to walk. She would pick him up by the hands and "walking" him around the room in order to teach him how to walk. I thought I was going to have a heart attack the first time I saw that happen. Jordan this past month has lost ANOTHER tooth, so the hole in her mouth has grown yet again. We went to the dentist and also discovered her remaining top tooth is also loose. But thankfully after she loses that tooth, no more should come for a while because the permanent teeth aren't close to coming yet. Oh, we also discovered that the permanent tooth she knocked out will likely be coming in in the next couple months. Jordan was excited to hear that. She got to see Santa at her preschool. At first she didn't want to sit on his lap, but I eventually got her to do it. She even sat there with Liam, and her cousin. She also decorated our Christmas tree. So all the ornaments, except the breakable ones, are at the bottom.

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree...

Liam is growing like a weed. I can't believe how much bigger he is now! He has almost outgrown his 0-3 month clothes! He also seems pretty heavy now. He has really good head control too. I think he developed that out of necessity to survive Jordan. We think Liam has reflux as he constantly spits up, screams if his stomach gets empty, and can't lay on his back (he sleeps in his bouncer). Next week we'll see the dr about that and see if we can get it fixed. Other than that though, he's a great baby. He loves his big sister and loves to smile at the silly things she does. He also won't complain if you want to snuggle with him.

Love this video

I love this video. I think it was way creative and they did a good job with it. It does start part way into the song, but I still love it!

Pictures

Here are some of the cute pictures we have of Liam and Jordan. The ones at the end of the slide are of our little stud in his blessing outfit. He was so handsome!
