Daily Happiness

1. Liam rolled over! From his tummy to his back! We thought it was a fluke since he hasn't even looked close to rolling anywhere, so we put him on his tummy again and he did it again! And again! Adam looked so pleased his cheeks started to hurt from smiling so much.

I think this is our first real concrete milestone. All the others eg, eyes focusing, smiling etc are sort of subjective and fleeting.

He's also discovering that his hands actually do stuff. He stares so hard at them - like someone in occupational therapy, willing his hands to do what he wants.

(in not so great news, I can't seem to get Liam to sleep in his cot for longer than 10 minutes today - I put him down 6 times in an hour and 15 minutes today.. this transferring to cot thing is hard. But enough of that)

2. We took Liam supermarket shopping for the first time and had him in the little red seat with the harness system that comes with the trolley. He dug it. I HAVE FOOD IN MY HOUSE NOW. REAL FOOD. An old lady came up and commented on how adorable he was, but then put out her finger for him to grab, which he did. She meant well and was so sweet and I couldn't bring myself to say 'OMG DON'T TOUCH MY BABY' but her hands were so gross... her nails were almost falling off and they were grubby. I hawkeyed Liam after that in case he put his hands anywhere near his mouth and washed them as soon as we got home. Next time I will definitely be more assertive.

3. We watched the first episode of Community last night and it was great! I thought Britta was actually the girl that plays Kandi on Two and a Half Men, but apparently only I thought they looked anything alike :( Adam thinks I'm biased and maybe I am, but I really do like shows that have more multicultural characters on them. I read that Annie was supposed to be cast as 'ethnic' but they couldn't find anyone and Alison Brie was fantastic anyway, not taking anything away from Alison, but it's sad that they couldn't find anyone. I'm sure there are *tons* of non-white actors vying for very few roles.

4. I wish Adam wasn't allergic to cats, because this is friggin cute.

Speaking of cats, my friend found that his ex girlfriend put a video of him cuddling their cat up on YouTube. That's all it is, friend, cuddling cat. It's got 300,000+ views. How bizarre. It's here if you're curious.

Get a baby-safe thing of antibiotic swipes and bring them with you wherever you go with Liam. My cousin had to do that with her kid because they live in a really rural area and he was forever trying to eat chicken shit. Just swipe his hands after gross people touch him.

Yeah I have some in Liam's bag, but I didn't think to carry the bag in with me :\

It's funny how when you have a baby he suddenly becomes public property. I guess I should have seen this coming after everyone touched my belly while I was pregnant.

I keep meaning to watch Community, everyone says it's amazing!

Adam thinks I'm biased and maybe I am, but I really do like shows that have more multicultural characters on them.

How is your position more biased than his?

Adam thinks that I like shows/bands/movies with Asians in them more than I would otherwise. Or a show I wouldn't otherwise like at all, I'd take an interest in.

I don't know if it's true. I probably do like things first, then like them more if they have Asians... like Glee. Or... Linkin Park :\

On the flipside does Adam only like shows with white/Caucasian people in them? ;)

o! i love community!


(and gross about the stranger touching your baby.. not okay)

Yeah I'm going to download the rest of them tonight. It's easy to watch a show that's only 22 min long :D

Yay for rolling! It's crazy how much they learn after that point! Elle didn't roll tummy to back until about a month after rolling back to tummy and getting stuck like an overturned turtle.

I was curious about the video. I watched it. And now I'm embarrassed that I did. BUT...that was one really cute cat.

That's amazing, rolling back to tummy. It would require all sorts of muscles.

My friend was so bugged out - finding a video of himself on YouTube with 300k+ views. Yeah, he had to give up the cat when they broke up simply because the cat would have missed the other cats. He really really misses that cat.

I suppose an excuse you could use is "Oh, the baby has been sick - I wouldn't want you to touch him and get sick too".
and that way, it's like YOU are protecting THEM. (and you dont' feel bad for saying HEYDONTTOUCHMYBABY!!!!! lolol

Sometimes you don't get time to say it! They come and say 'hi little man! who's a cute little boy?' and then touch him!

Re: #3, I love Community! It gets better and better as you go, seriously. There's so much great geeky stuff in there. Just tell me when you get to the paintball episode, okay? Please? :D

Also, cat in that video has the cutest ears ever. OMG.

Yes! I will! Did you get into using tumblr? I kept meaning to tell you where the Merlin stuff was and forgot. Maybe visit fuckbees.tumblr.com and go from there.

Just wanted to say that you seem so happy with Liam. Makes me want to have a baby :)
