Day 14 (1/14/11)

We spent the evening at YaYa and Fuzzface's house and Liam had a blast! This kid just loves his grandparents!

Our little guy is still teething (nothing has popped out yet, but you can see it under the gums!) and he discovering all different things he can gnaw on to relieve the pain:

like large water bottles

or glass root beer bottles

Happy 22 weeks Liam!

Day 13 (1/13/11)

Today, while vacuuming, Liam was in his exersaucer and watching my every move. This kid was fasinated with the vacuum, his head literelly followed it around the entire room. I decided to let him check it out and he was just amazed!

5 months ago day, we welcomed our little boy into our arms! Happy 5 months Liam!

Day 12 (1/12/11)

I've been waiting for the skies to open up and do more then just slightly "sneeze" on us. If I have to live in an area where it snows, I want a picture of Liam in the snow. More then once I've woken up to a pretty dusting of snow on the ground, and by the time I'm ready to take the boy outside, its all gone. When I heard we were supposed to get up to 5 inches last night, I got really excited and crossed my fingers. Well, I woke up this morning to 2 inches of beautiful, white fluffy stuff! Whats even better, is it stayed around long enough for me to use the evening light to get some photos of the boy in the snow! Enjoy!

"But it's cold Daddy!"

We tried to get him to sit down, he refused to bend his legs so he ended up on his back! Trust me, he did it to himself!

His backside after forcing him to lay down.

He was not pleased we took him outside!

Day 11 (1/11/11)

My poor baby boy is teething! Nothing broken through yet, but he's definitely got something going on under those gums! Today was a quieter day for the dude, he had lots of happy moments, lots of "ouchie" moments and quite a few snuggles.

Nap time with mommy!

Day 10 (1/10/11)

In our house, we do a combo of crib and co-sleeping. At bedtime, Li goes to sleep in his crib and when he wakes up 3, 4, 5hrs later, we pull him into bed with us, nurse and pass out. When he wakes up and is ready to play but its too early, we give him his seahorse to play with. Man does this boy love his seahorse! You press its stomach and it glows softly (the stomach) and plays lullabies. Most mornings Liam falls back asleep no problem. He likes to play with it for a few minutes, chewing on it, snuggling it, and then the magic works and he passes out!

Just a boy and his seahorse!

Day 9 (1/9/11)

Every Sunday, Liam goes to hangs out with his Grandma (M's mom) while M and I are at work. Things are always interesting at Grandma's, there are always people around, like Pampa and various aunts, uncles and cousins, so Liam always has someone to play with!

On our way to Grandma's!

Day 8 (1/8/11)

Yesterday was going to be a quiet day around here, but then we decided to be sociable. Our day started off waking up to half an inch of snow on ground. I wanted to take our daily picture out in the snow, but by the time I would have been ready it was already melted :( Instead, we spent our morning being lazy, watching movies and playing with Liam.

According M, Fuzz Face and YaYa (my mother), Li has found and sucked on his toes several times. I just had to take their word for it because I'd never seen it. Until today!

Liam and M were snuggling on the couch and I looked over and he had his foot in his mouth! It was so exciting (to me anyway)!

M's aunt was throwing a small get together that afternoon, so we figured we'd stop by and visit (this starts the sociable part of the day). It was a lot of fun, but we ended up leaving earlier then I would have liked. Our reason for leaving was to go and have dinner with Pampa, aka Liam's birthday buddy (Liam was born on Pampa's [M's grandfather] 81st birthday). Dinner was really nice, it was Pampa, Grandma, M's cousin Kacee who is visiting from the desert, Liam, M and myself. After dinner, we continued our sociable day.

Our last stop was at the house of one of M and my's favorite people. Linda and Barry. I don't know what it is about them, but I always feel so much better after visiting with them. They just have an amazing energy that they share with everyone! Aside from stopping by just to stay hi, we were there for their daughter Rhia to meet Liam. Rhia was one of my bridesmaids in our wedding, and she had yet to meet Liam. Until last night. And of course she's on her way back to school now and wont see him again until the summer, but at least she got to see him as a 'little' baby!
