'We’re all a little weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love.'

One month gone

So it's hard to believe that Liam is now a month old.  It is amazing how quickly he changes, and to think of all the new things that he will be doing soon.  So a little bit about him, he loves to be held, he is not one to just sit on his own while he's awake.  He also loves being on the move and walking around.  We went on an hour walk the other day when it was lovely outside and he acted like it was the best thing in the world.  Music also is something he seems to love.  In church he will just listen during the hymns and Jeff and I are in the choir and he will just sit and listen the whole time with no problems.  If he is upset Jeff and I singing is something that will quiet him down really quick, and he will sleep in the bassinet by himself if we sing him to sleep.  Eating is another passion of his, during the day he still eats about every two hours.  He goes a little longer at night.  Another instant fix for him when he is upset is a bath.  The moment he hears the bathtub turn on he stops crying and is completely content.  Guess he must be our child if the things that cheer him up are food, music, and baths, things that Jeff and I love.  Nights have been going pretty well.  I usually just have to get up with him once or twice, and usually he will just eat and go back to sleep.
So as far as school goes the last week was crazy since I have had five midterms and two projects in addition to my regular homework load, but that is all almost over and then it is just finals and we are done.  I cant believe there are less than 20 days of school left for us.  Finals are almost easier than midterms though because we have reading days with no class just to study and then there aren't any classes that you have to go to, you just have to take the tests.  Liam has done really well with going to school as he likes to be on the go.  He mostly just sleeps during class.  I am so excited to be able to go running again.  I have been wanting to since the week after my C-section and only have to wait a couple more weeks...then I will take my running stroller and go on a wonderful run.
So some other exciting news is that Jeff got a real world job for after graduation at Insider Sales in Provo.  So I will be able to do my last semester with just a couple of classes and graduate in the Fall.  We are now looking into moving to Springville, and maybe buying a house.  So adult it is kind of crazy.  It is strange transitioning into this new stage of life with a child and soon without school.  I never really thought of life beyond school and I have had a hard time comprehending what I will do with out it.  I guess life is about change though and I will adjust to this next chapter.
