Liam Rolls!

Watch out everyone!

Now that Liam has medication that has helped with the spasms there is no stopping him now!

I laid him on his side like we usually do and he has been doing great but I decided to take it to the next level.
I laid Liam on his stomach and he rolled over to his back.

He usually likes to lay there and fall asleep during tummy time, not today!

He lifted his head and kept it there for a while.

He even brought his hands and knees like he was getting ready to crawl.

But no. 

He then got faster at it that I had to place him on his tummy and get the camera prepared so I could get a couple of good pics.

He even smiled really big because it was difficult for me to get the pictures.

But I was finally able to because he slowed down.

Almost like posing for the camera.

Either that or he was getting tired.

Way to go little man!

As you can see Eliana was cheering him on 

and even trying to roll next to him.

She was having fun with her "bubba".

Liam tries

So we have been working with Liam to roll.
He actually beginning to try to turn his head as far as he can to the side and will lift his legs up.
We think he is trying to roll but we'll keep working on that.
He does enjoy trying to roll from his side to his back a little more than he use to.
Baby steps but he'll get there some day.
He is such a cute little guy.

Don't feel sorry....

I walk down the isles at the store. 

I can see people looking at Liam.

I wonder what they are thinking.

Someone asks how old Liam was and went on to comment that she had a ten month old and how difficult they can be and that I probably know.

Someone else comments about how great of a baby he is

because he doesn't make much sound or move a lot.

When I shared Liam was developmentally impaired,

each conversation ended in awkward silence.

And an "Oh, I'm sorry."

Well I am here to tell you. Don't be.

I find that many people find it awkward and aren't sure what to say.

I am aware that you don't know Liams situation.

You probably think that I worry a lot and cry in corners.

Truth is, I don't.

Liam was sent to us to bless us in many ways we didn't know we would be.

He is a special little guy.

 I don't feel sorry for myself and you shouldn't either.

Nothing makes us different.

I am a mother struggling with a different situation but I want to be treated equal.

We love Liam no matter his condition.

To us he is a normal baby.

No matter what the internet says could happen

we live life like an average family only we have more appointments.

I am open about Liam but I don't want to make you feel sorry.

We love our job as his parents.

So when you talk to us don't feel sorry.

Be happy.

Just like we are that he is here with us today.

I mean look at that smile.

He is happy and that is all that matters to us.
