What a Little Trooper!

Liam had his 4 month well baby check-up today. He is now 17.9 lbs., 25 1/2" long, and his head is 17 1/2" around. He is getting big. He has almost doubled his birth weight! The doctor said he is developing very well, and she even said we could start giving him the 1st stage of solids. He was smiling and talking to the doctor a lot. Any bit of attention he gets, especially from the ladies, he just eats it up! Liam also had to get some more shots today :( This is the part of his appointments that I do not like. Last time he screamed so much, which is something he never does. This little guy hardly ever cries. So, I was getting myself ready for another episode of the screaming. But surprisingly, he only cried a little when they first gave him the shot. Then after it was done, he stopped. He was such a brave little guy. I am so proud of him. It probably helped that we had given him Tylenol before the doctor visit. He has been a little fussy throughout the day, and he only wanted to take a nap when I was holding him, but other than that, he is still his smiley little self.

Here are some random pictures that we have taken lately.





This is what most of today consisted of.... sleeping, and my new friend on the shot days.... Tylenol!


Liam has now grown out of his little shoes. He is wearing size 2 now!

And I think I have mentioned that Liam does not take good pictures with me... here are just a few examples of the lovely faces he makes when we are taking pictures together!

New Things

We have started to try giving Liam cereal. There really is not a clear answer on when your supposed to introduce cereal, but all the signs they tell you to look for, he is doing. Yesterday we started the rice cereal and he made a face each time he ate it. We only did about 5 spoon fulls, and then we stopped. But today, he opened that little mouth right up and ate more than he did yesterday. I think he likes that he is getting something different in his belly!




Liam also seems to have a new smile these days as well. He stared smiling a little differenty yesterday. Here are some pictures

My 1st Mothers Day!

I was so excited for this day. When I got up, I got cards and flowers from my boys. Deron had to work today, so we didn't get to spend all of it together. Liam and I went to church with my family, then back to their house to spend some time together. Then it was off to Grandpa & Grandma McCandless for a visit. We met Daddy there, then went to the Macaroni Grill for dinner with my family. It was nice to spend some time with the family.




On a sad note, yesterday my parents had to put down our dog Penny. She had been sick all week, and was not doing well. When they took her to the vet, she had a large, hard mass in her stomach area. It was really sad. We have had her for a long time. Then today, our other dog Heidi had to be taken to the vet as well. She has lost her hearing and she has some hip problems, but everything seemed to get worse last night after Penny was put down. She went outside to go to the bathroom, and on her way back in she just layed down, and couldn't move anymore. Plus, she is bleeding from a growth that she has. She seems so depressed. So as of right now, my Dad is on the way to the vet with Heidi to see what is going on. It's been a sad couple of days for our family. We've had both of these dogs for a long time, it's sad to see them go.

Precious Moments

Liam was sleeping so peacefully the other day, so I decided to take pictures of him that I normally would never be able to get. Hope you all enjoy!






And my favorites... his chunky legs, cute little behind and his little bald spot!



And a few of Angelica from yesturday:

Mmmmm, those feet look yummy!

I had said a few days a ago that Liam has found his feet, well now, he tries to suck on his feet! It's especially difficult when trying to change his diaper. But it is oh so cute! I was able to get a few pictures of him yesturday doing it. He also woke up yesturday with his first cold. I was sure he wasn't going to get one. Deron has had 2 colds since he was born and I have had one, and Liam didn't get sick any of those times. But I woke up yesturday to him coughing, sneezing and cooing. He is still smiling and talking, but you can tell he just isn't himself. Hopefully it will go away soon. He is having a hard time napping, which may be good for us at night since he slept for 10 hours lastnight!

Pics, Pics and More Pics

We haven't really done anything super eventful over the last week, but I did take a lot of pictures and wanted to share them with you all. Liam is talking (cooing) a lot now. He talked to me the entire ride to Rosa's house on Wednesday. He is such a happy baby. Even at 2am in the morning, he is smiling when I get to his crib to pick him up. Sometimes instead of crying when he wakes up, he is cooing. He found his voice and wants everyone to hear it. He also has seemed to have found his feet in the past few days as well.

Well here are some pictures that I took over the past week:
