Liam - Week 46

Date/Week: November 9th; week 46

Milestones: 2nd Tooth has erupted; First Flu Shot; slept through the night a few nights in a row (it didn't continue though...); first time in a mei tai carrier; first paternal family dinner at our house

Developmental Progress:  He can point to a few items when you say the name (fan, clock, daddy, mummy, owl (sticker on the window); tries to feed himself with the spoon; drinking out of a cup results in more liquid in his mouth and less down his front; he eats just about anything i he feeds himself

Energy level: I have had a good week. Sunday was a bit tough but that was because it was such a busy day!

Exercise: Got to meet with my coach and run yesterday at lunchtime. It felt good!

Thoughts and Feelings? I thought October was hectic! I find myself wishing for some down time and when I get a Saturday morning or such I end up filling it up. That said, when things do slow down a bit, I feel more able to tackle them. And what must be tackled at the moment... the Christmas shopping list (I never again want to be suck shopping in November -- it's too stressful).


As I look to 2012, I know I must start working on my budget. The 2011 budget was interesting but 2012 will be more austere since I want to finish this degree, perhaps start another and deal with the apartment, paying off credit cards, student loans and save more once that's done. I need to be focused to create a realistic budget in the coming weeks.

What I am looking forward to: Holiday preparations - the pudding has been made and the Open House invitations go out next week!
