My sleeper

Remember my post about my little sleeper? Do you remember who I talked about how once we lay him down not one peep is uttered? Well my friends I am not eating my words but it is something much better then that. Tonight for the first time we had a babysitter put Wesley and Liam to bed. On 2 occasions My sister and my Mom did the honor but in the (almost) 9 months since we have been home we have always put Liam to bed. If we leave the boys with a babysitter we put Liam to bed first and then leave. Not tonight my friend. NO sir we left at 4:30. When we got home at 8:30 expecting to have 2 sleepers we were informed that Liam cried when he was put to bed, and actually continued to cry even after bottle bribery(something I don't do:). She said that Liam was not asleep. I squealed with delight(yes I squealed). I thanked her payed her more than I should have I am sure and quickly went in my babies room. When I went in there he stayed laying down which left me wondering if maybe he had finally fell asleep. After making "a little noise" I saw Liam peering at me in the dark. I said "Hi baby Mommy is home." To which he literally giggled and leaped to a standing position and proceeded to jump up and down in his crib. I rocked him snuggled him and laid him in his bed and haven't heard a peep since! He is quiet at night because he is happy...NOT some weird over analyzed reason I made up to freak myself out!

WE ARE ONE HAPPY FAMILY

ADVICE PLEASE!!

Here is my dilemma...Ever since my little brown bear has become the expert walker/runner/mr. independent...a new set of hmmm issues have come up. You see he umm well he kind of hmmm....I'll just say it He HITS, PUSHES, THROWS things and well a few times he has bitten. I don't know if the walking and new since of Independence has brought this on or if they just happened to happen around the same time. Of course being over analytical I have worried that it is some sort of attachment/aggression issue coming out. Although I have already had 1 boy we surprisingly did not deal with this issue. We had other issues...but not ones so aggressive in nature. The hitting and throwing usually if not always revolve around a fit or him being forced to do something he does not want to do. Such as hug his very (overly) affectionate older brother. Or if he has thrown a toy and I take it away he proceeds to run/toddle around the room hitting everything in sight including me if I am close enough. It really hurts my feelings and I KNOW I should not take it personally but I do and I need some tips. I need tips on how to handle his aggression. I need tips on discipline and how I should help teach him his behavior is inappropriate without feeding the aggression. Help!

your gonna hate me for this

So your gonna think I am totally ridiculous and maybe you'll even roll your eyes...I WOULD if I was reading what I am about to say on one of your blogs.... Let me set this up for you... Liam is an amazing sleeper. Amazing or should I say a little too amazing. When I put him down at 7:00 that is it no more Liam until 7:00, 8:00, or even 8:30 the next morning. Totally normal and fabulous right? Well here is my ahhhem..issue. He never wakes and cries...EVER...So he goes for what 12 hours without a peep. I appreciate it I do..I love LOVE MY SLEEP. But I love my baby more and there are times that I wish I could hear even a little whimper letting me know he needs mommy...A little rocking, snuggling, a back rub anything. But no he falls into a deep slumber and there he stays until the morning... I know I know count my blessings right. But there is something so precious about the OCCASIONAL midnight 'meeting' with your little one.
