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.

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I haven't been very happy today. I thought I'd found a way that would help Liam sleep but it wasn't very safe and was looking for safer options. I asked P101 and got a few helpful comments but I also got a few people telling me what I was doing was actually very dangerous. So I've stopped.
What upset me was the very last commenter after the whole thing was over has insinuated that I would be upset when I go to jail after I kill my baby so to stop yanking people's chains.

WHO THE FUCK SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO SOMEONE ELSE? WHO WOULD BE UPSET ABOUT A JAIL SENTENCE IF YOU HAVE KILLED YOUR OWN CHILD WTF.

You don't say things like that about people's babies.

Anyway. Happy things!

1. We went to my Sister In Law's impromptu baby shower today as it's her 2nd child. It was nice to get out of the house and eat lovely morning tea. Sandwiches, cupcakes, biscuits, profiteroles, fruit kebabs oh my!

Liam looked really cute in his new hoodie.

2. Dangerous sleeping habits aside, Liam's been sleeping much better today. He took a nap in the morning with me in bed, and has slept in his cot a couple of times. Normally he will wake up after 15 min of being in the cot.

3. Good Game is back on TV! I missed the show so much.

4. Adam is having a day off tomorrow!

5. I've started to organise Adam's 30th birthday. It might actually not be last minute for a change. He deserves a good birthday, I still owe him 2 years worth of presents.

6. I <3 my Twitter friends a lot. I'm excited to go see a lot of them on Monday for Valentine's Day. Adam doesn't do Valentine's, and he offered to look after Liam so I can go see my friends.

That's it for now!
