Enjoying Grandpa and wishing the weekend lasted longer

Weeeeee!!!! Grandpa let Liam have his Easter present early. It was a huge success!

the #4

Since Liam finished his bowl of pasta fagioli the other night we treated him to a little "mo". I know this is a long video, but i think it is cute. Especially his request for more at the end. 

Compliments of Feist and "mo"....

4 teeth!

spoons

Liam is getting the hang of using a spoon (aka poon). He does occassionally decide to go back to his old way of eating. This is also known as the 3-S:
1. Scoop with his hand 2. Shove in his mouth 3. Scrap the food off with his teeth.
We are working on his table manners.

breakfast of my lil' champ: yogurt, banana and oatmeal

Liam loves yogurt. LOVES. IT.  So much, that when he is grocery shopping with me and he sees it and knows he can't have it, it brings tears to his eyes. instantly. Bananas do that to him, too. It appears that his most favorite yogurt is Greek yogurt, honey-banana.

Breakfast on the weekends is a bit more laid back than during the week. There just isn't enough time during the mornings before work to get yogurt out of his hair & mine) or banana out of his ears. So that is what the weekends are for. Yesterday, Liam discovered that his yogurt also makes his curls very curly & crispy...

"Crap, I've been caught."

"Lets try this in your hair."

beautiful daughter

I think Liam may need a hair cut. Andrew and I were told by a stranger the other day that we have a "beautiful daughter". Then she realized Liam is actually a little boy and apologized. So either Liam needs his curls reduced or the stranger may need an eye exam.

this old house

There are several pros and cons of being a homeowner. Being a homeowner to a 100 + year old home definitely has its pros and cons. That being said we have a long "to do" list. This past week we were able to cross yet another item off that list new roof. The crew that worked on our roof (this crew did include one female!) did an outstanding job last week. They were able to take off the original roofing, which was slate, and replace it, make any repairs (which ended up just being one) and did an excellent job of clean up. Andrew and I are beyond impressed with what was accomplished in the small amount of time. The forecast was calling for snow so I am pretty sure the crew did double time (Billy Blanks style) to get this job done. The pictures really don't give this job justice. So now that we got that out of the way, we are in the process of planning for our next project...the back yard. Andrew has been working hard all morning on the yard. At last count, there were 10 green bags on the curb for pick up.
