Day 51 (2/20/11)

Even though we're still at the sci-fi convention, I had a gtg with a friend of mine that I met when I was pregnant with Li. Her daughter, Baby M, is a few days younger then Liam and completely adorable! Her cheeks are to DIE for and you just want to squeeze her when you see her! 


This was the first time Li and Baby M met, and as they were sizing each other up, Liam spotted her socks. Now, my kid has always loved chewing on his socks. Loves it. Every diaper change, his feet are in his mouth and his socks are soaked as a result. 

Poor Baby M's socks never had a chance. Once Liam started on her feet, both her socks were off and in his mouth. Then he went for her toes. Thats where she drew the line. After we stopped the apparent cannibalism, we tried to get some cute shots of the kids but Baby M was over being eaten and Liam was hungry, so it didn't quite work how we wanted it to!


Back to the convention. M and I were helping out Tahmoh Penniket, from Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse. He's a very nice gentleman who was very focused on his career and spent the majority of the weekend learning lines for upcoming auditions. The four of us before we took him back to the airport!

Day 50 (2/19/11)


Every February, M and I work at a SciFi convention local to our area. The past few years we've been working with the guest stars (ie- famous (ish) actors). Last year I worked with Felicia Day and M worked with Sam Witwer. This year, since we had Liam, we both worked with Tahmoh Penikett (his picture will be in Day 51). M did most of the work, Li and I mainly hung out and helped get drinks and watch the tables when Tahmoh or the other guests had to go do an interview or what have you.

One of the other guests was Laurie Holden (Andrea from The Walking Dead) and she was head over heels in love with Liam. As soon as she saw him, she asked if she could take pictures, literally right after she had checked in with the hotel! Pretty much anytime she could, she was holding and loving up on Liam, and of course my little man ate it up! Who wouldn't want a pretty blonde fawning all over you? Laurie was so in love with him that she sent Frank Darabont (Oscar winning Director) a picture of him, just to show Li off!

Laurie wants us to stay in touch, just so she can see Liam as he grows up. We exchanged emails and I hope that we can get the chance to go down to GA and visit her on the set of TWD. Hey, maybe she can get Liam a walk-on role as an undead baby! We'll see!
