The babies and I roll out of bed at 8 am everyday. And not a minute sooner. Except for today. Mr. Liam was on a bender and just wanted to start his day a whole hour earlier. Ugh. I had a late night decorating for a big birthday bash that my sister and I coordinated, so 6 hours of sleep had me hurting.I tried everything to get little man back to sleep. Tickling his face - nope. Re-swaddling him - uh uh. Laying him in bed next to me - no, not even snuggling worked. Then I remembered my "go-to-last resort-to-put-a-baby-to-bed-trick" - put him in the swing! Liam has rarely had to visit the swing in attempts to get him to fall asleep. However, that has not been the case with his sister.
Now getting to the point of my story since the scene has been set...Liam is now is his swing, but still squawking a bit. I'm getting a little impatient because all I want is just 30 more minutes of sleep! So my last idea is to give him my i-Touch and turn on soft Baby Mozart music to help calm the child down. I hand it to him and...voila! It instantly worked! And at that point I couldn't help but laugh to myself while realizing that there sat my 5 month old baby swinging away in mid air, grasping onto an i-Touch!
Well soft, soothing, symphonic song after song Liam is now quieted down and I am now happier myself. UNTIL...all of a sudden little man SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY not only cranks the volume all the way up, but changes the song to RUN-DMC'S "Christmas in Hollis!"
WHAT THE HECK?!?!
I literally started laughing out loud because there now sat my 5 month old baby swinging away in mid air, grasping onto an i-Touch, while listening to RUN-DMC!!! Can you just picture it?! I couldn't help but think that Daddy would be so proud of him though. Good thing he's cute.

He is so adorable! I can't believe how big they are getting. Where does the time go? By the way, I have a request...I want to see pictures of the nursery. (unless I missed them somehow) We only got a little teaser. I want to see it!!!
This story made me smile! I can't believe how grown up that little stud is. I can't wait to meet him!
Isn't it crazy how extra valuable 30 minutes of sleep is? The things we do!!! I was laughing out loud reading this post...seriously hilarious!
Like father, like son! I bet that just made his daddy proud! ;-) I remember a certain little girl that would immediately shush when she head the lyrical stylings of her Uncle Smooth! There is something about music and these babies that go hand in hand.
