A friend's facebook status reminded me of this blog post I wanted to post a few days ago.

4/02/09 We woke up to this:

04/02/10 We woke up to this ( and pretty much everyday):

We love you Liam!!  Never did I ever think that positive sign would change my life in such an amazing way that it has.  Life has never been better!!

 Happy Friday!

The results of trying rice cereal for the first time.

4 month check up

Liam had his 4 month check up this week. He weighed in at 14lbs 4oz and is 24 inches in length. My baby is growing! Overall he is doing well and there are no concerns. He also had another round of shots which left him in tears and my heart sad. We are able to begin rice cereal with him now and if that goes well, in a month we can begin veggie baby foods with him!! Two thumbs up for Liam!

Friday is finally here.  After three outfit changes for Liam and one for Andrew we were finally able to get out of the house this morning and  get our day started. Between spitting up and drool, Liam ( & his victims) go through outfits frequently. I guess it could be worse....right?

Let the weekend begin!

4months.

Happy 4 months Wiggy!! Can you believe that you are 4 months already?? I can't.

As you grow, you become more and more amazing to your dad and I. We love to watch you explore the world. You squeal in delight when we go outside for walks, you smile when we put you in your car seat and when you are in the stroller you are always looking around and have the look of curiosity on your face. Speaking of faces, you love to look at them, especially photos & your own in the mirror.



While I love that you are small, snuggle perfect size and still a little peanut to me, I simply can not wait for you to grow and get bigger. I can not wait to hear you say first word (which I think your dad believes will be dinosaur, he has high expectations kid!), for you to crawl, to take your first step, to have that first lonely tooth, to watch your naked feet touch the grass, I could go on and on. While I can't wait for these events to take place in our lives, I also wish I could slow time down, just a bit...

Happy four months of life on the outside! I love you to the moon & back.

bumbo

The bumbo is pretty awesome. I wasn't totally sold on it at first, I thought maybe it was just another thing to spend money on...but now that Liam has been using it, it is one of my favorite items to have around. Liam will sit in it and just observe what is going on around him. The pugs love it because now Liam is at their level and this give Olive a chance to show her affection towards him...lots of kisses and ear sniffs. This morning he wanted to sit in it and I plopped some entertainment in front of him. He are some shots that captured the before, during and after...

"Take a picture, it will last longer."

Enjoying the lights and the music

Beginning to drift off ( I was right there, in case he really drifted out)

Out and off he went to his crib for some zzzzzz.
