Liam's Great Grandparents

The weekend that we spent at Granny & Pappy's to celebrate Christmas was also the weekend that Liam met his Great Grandma Rose. It was also Ryan's first time to meet her. She has been telling me for quite some time that she was afraid that if he met her he might leave me for the original.
She agreed with everyone else, that her great grandson is very beautiful.
Great Grandma will always remind Liam of how much she loves him and she will always make him laugh...
...especially if she wears my sunglasses again.
On New Years Day, Liam got to meet his Great Grandpa & Great Granny!
They shared some sweet,loving, conversation...
...and introduced Liam to his first singing and dancing snowman.
Liam will love visiting Great Granny & Great Grandpa's just like I always have.

See you soon, Great Grandparents!

New Year's Eve Surprise

On New Year's Eve we had a very special visitor.
Santa's busy season had come to an end and he stopped by to meet Liam!!
He even brought more gifts!
As you can see, Santa and Liam were very cute and comfortable together.
What an exciting end to 2010 and Liam's first Christmas!

See you next year, Santa Claus!

Baby's First Christmas


Sleepy boy on Christmas morning
Not for long! I think this is his "What's going on?" face.
Maybe Liam knows who stopped by over night??
S-A-N-T-A!!!!
Our 1st Christmas as a family cozy in our pj's.
Liam loves Christmas songs.
Ready to go to Mimi & Papa's!
Snuggles with Mommy...
and with Papa.
We sat down to a delicious Christmas dinner with Liam in his "manger."
Then it was time for more Christmas pictures.

We cannot give our little guy enough kisses.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

Christmas at Granny & Pappy's

I have to mention "Liam's tree." Granny put it up for us during her visit and Liam has been hooked ever since. Needless to say, we may be leaving the tree up a bit longer this year.



We got to Granny & Pappy's Friday evening to celebrate Christmas with them over a long weekend (Friday-Monday). Liam got to meet more family! Aunt Nicki, Jeff, and his cousins Mason & Madison were very excited to finally meet him. We had dinner and then some bonding time and presents...

and hanging out.


What a great start to the holidays!

Liam's 1st Bath

This was Liam's first official bath. Up until this point he only had towel baths while we waited for the umbilical cord to fall off. His bath tub is very special and came highly recommended by cousin Emily. It's a clean water tub so water is constantly flowing out of the tub while clean water is coming in.
As with most things, Liam was perfectly willing to give this new thing a try.

I think this look means "Are you sure about this?"
Liam stayed happy through the entire bath until we moved him around to wash is back. He did not like this. He does however seem to like water being poured over his head.

Since this first go we have found it much easier to set up bath time at the kitchen sink.
Clean, happy baby.

Immediate outcome after being dried off while being dressed.
