What Was I Thinking?: March 2011

Random recent pics

I know....I only post once every several weeks, so then you get a million posts, okay, just several.

Church this past Sunday. You can't see them, but Liam is wearing the CUTEST little shoes. I know.... boys aren't really a fashion statement in clothing compared to girls, but I am in love with little baby boy shoes.

Can you see the little lion in the jungle gym?

Collin is my son

Last Saturday we went on our first "extended" family outing as a family of four. I know....two months later, we finally ventured out. We went to Leatherby's, a family ice cream place within walking distance and we had a coupon :)

I thought for sure Collin would love the HUGE ice creams there, but no, he went straight for the bowl of hot fudge that accompanied our sundaes. Yes, he is my son. Loves chocolate. LOVES it.

He was being so silly when we took pictures. But, again that is Collin.

It was a little chilly so when we got home and after the bath..... I introduced Collin to the "Rice baby". I LOVE this thing...you heat it up in the microwave. The whole night Collin kept saying, it's warm, it's warm. Yes, son, it is.

Our outing got a little crazy in that Liam didn't care too much for the place, and Collin near the end wanted to run around like he normally does, but it was fun!

Mommy and Liam

One of these pics I like more than the other. Can you guess?

This one because I feel like my normal self (no glasses)....too bad I can't see without them and wearing contacts kills my eyes.....

I liked this smirk on Liam...it is coming out more often these days :)

Liam's second home

So, we had this bouncer with Collin...and used it a lot.

It has become Liam's new home.... when I'm fixing dinner, or when we eat....or when he wants to play with his little blue elephant. He talks to it. It's cute.

For some reason, of course, the cutest smile picture in the bouncer has to turn sideways for no apparent reason.

This was the official day we started not wearing pajamas all day.... we had some outing...oh, to the doctor I think. At his 8 week check up, he weighed 10.8 pounds (21st percentile), and was 23 inches long (52nd percentile). YEAH LIAM!

Collin's first Bubble Bath

Yes, I'm a slacker. Collin didn't have his first bubble bath until recently, and yes he is two.

Now, every day is a request for "bubble bath!" Ummm.no. Those bubbles get a little crazy.

Sadee and Ava meet Liam, and fun times

So, Sadee and Ava have been dying to come down and meet Liam....due to a variety of circumstances, they just were able to come this last weekend, later on Saturday night.

The four cousins together. You should have seen HOW excited Collin was to play with these girls. Not even kidding....none of them went to bed until almost 11pm, and Collin got to attempt his first sleepover (he woke up around 1230 am, and came into his own bed upstairs). But he was so touched "Sadee made me my own bed mommy". It was too cute.

The first thing they said about Liam was "he has crazy hair!" Granted, I knew that already (I call him my crazy mad scientist because of his crazy hair), but it was funny that someone else noticed.

Sadee holding Liam Sunday morning. She looks SO big.

Okay, same picture, but I had to take this to send to my sister with his little hat on, kind of, because this is an outfit my sister gave to Collin WAY back in the day, and now Liam gets to wear it :)

And Liam has REALLY started liking the mobile. This isn't a surprise for me since Collin did too, but Liam totally is getting into it. The pictures don't do it justice, but yeah, he was kicking and smiling....

And kids are just so amazing with imaginative play. This was some awesome tunnel thing they invented to crawl through and jump on. I love when kids get together to play...

Makes and reminds me of good times when I had more of an imagination when I was growing up. Something must happen to that because now I feel so much less creative.

Thanks girlies for coming to visit us! Come again soon!
