4 months

...and these are a few of my favorite things!

Liam seems to be changing so fast these days:

+ He has really great head control. No more bobble-head!

+ He likes us to help him stand up.

+ He laughs and squeals LOUDLY

+ He pets the kitties (and grabs their fur/ears/tail/whatever)

+ He gets really upset whenever I leave the room (inconvenient, yes. endearing, that too)
+ He weighs 13 lbs and is 25.5 inches long, putting him in the 75th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight... In other words, he's long and lanky.

The water is so fascinating...
Is anything possibly cuter?

Oh, the things she'll put up with for a little attention...

New Blanket

Liam has a new blanket. We went to Target over the weekend, and Liam instantly fell in love with this blanket. It's soft and furry on one side and fleece on the other. He likes the furry side to be up next to his face when he's going to sleep.

He likes to play with it. He pulls it up to rub his face. And to taste it.
He really likes it.

Visit from Grammy

We all had the special treat of visiting with Liam's Grammy for the past week. She hadn't seen Liam since he was a week old. He sure has grown alot in the past 3 months!

Liam sure loves his Grammy. She sings songs to him, reads him books, tickles him, takes him on walks outside when he's fussy, and gives him lots of cuddles.

And, she watched Liam so Gabe and I could go out on a date...the first time since he was born. We saw a really dumb movie, Wanted, which is not worth the movie ticket even though it has Morgan Freeman. Despite the disappointing movie, we had a great time together. The HUGE slice of chocolate cake at Common Grounds was the perfect end to the evening.
We're sad she had to leave already, but plan to see her again in August. We love you, Grammy.

Fun at the pool

Our church had a family pool party at the local aquatic center. We weren't sure how Liam would do, but (after a little uncertainty of the cold water) he loved it. He was fascinated with the water, which is why he's looking down in most of the pics...

Fun with Simone

New feature

So at the proddings of my neighbor Trish I've finally posted some of my handmade things to try and sell on Etsy. So far there's been lots of lookers, but no buyers. I'm working on several different items to add to my store. Hopefully, it will be a success and a source of some spending money (I've got my eyes on a fabulous jogging stroller...). Here's to hoping.

bath time fun

Liam loves to take a bath. On Saturday he stayed happily in the tub for nearly an hour! He didn't fuss to get out, but his lips were starting to turn blue and his toes were wrinkly...
