tater love

Liam is in love...with sweet potatoes. His lips touched the spoon that held the orange goodness and his life was forever changed. The boy loved the taters so much that he almost ate the whole jar. I could tell that the taters were loved because 1. He made practically no mess (hence the lack of photo). 2. As soon as the spoon came towards his mouth he sat with his mouth fully opened waiting, patiently. 3. He was pointing to the jar for more- which gave me a great opportunity to reinforce the sign language sign for "more". Sweet taters have been added to my list for homemade baby food. Sweet taters get two enthusiastic thumbs up from LCG.

weekend

We had a pretty great weekend...despite the crazy winds, snow and sleet that greeted us. We had planned on going to Tulip Fest on Saturday, but since Mother Nature was mad at someone, we decided it would be best to stay in, watch some awfully cheesy movies and eat unhealthy foods. But we did have some moments of being productive. Andrew and I planted a tree...okay, Andrew planted the tree and I just suggested told him where to plant it. I also got to finally plant my hydrangea plant that I received as a gift when Liam was born. Hopefully she survives the cold temperatures that are suppose to hit us this week.

Sunday was a great day. My first official mother's day, a trip to my mom & dad's and sleet. It was a nice day that ended with an even bigger bang. Liam really wanted me to remember the day, so he decided to have a blow out. EPIC, blowout. Basically nothing was in his diaper, it had all traveled up his back.  I think he wanted me to be able to show off my killer blowout recovery skills in front of my mom or it possibly could have been revenge from the peas...

A big thank you to

I love you Andrew!
All the way to the moon & back, Liam!

peas, please.

Mama: "Liam, today you are going to try some yummy peas."

Liam:


Mama: "So, what do you think about peas?"

Liam:

Liam gave peas one pathetic thumbs up.

what a little riot

post work day love

Still no teeth, but still a lot of drool. He is still struggling with sitting on his own...he is almost there, but not quite. He has pretty much mastered the roll- stomach to back and back to stomach. He loves to stand and kick and jump. I wonder how much longer we have before he is on the move...

rock n roll

Liam loves to roll...everywhere and into everything. He has recently realized that he can get what he wants by rolling to it or on it...

This is how it started out...

then he turns himself into a burrito...

sprawls...

sees what he wants...

starts to rock

then roll

must.reach.book.

all that work is exhausting.

an addition

Watch out, there is a new stroller in town. Let me introduce you to Quinny. Kind of funny that it is called Quinny, as oh say, about ten months ago we were thinking about naming "peanut" Quinn. Liam pretty much gave Q. two enthusiastic thumbs up...well not really, but he was very excited for our first walk with Q. and laughed quite a bit. I on the other hand did give Q. two very enthusiastic thumbs up.

I am very fortunate that one of my super, awesome co-workers was looking to sell Q. and right around the same time I was just beginning to look for a dependable jogger. It was a win, win for both of us.
