Splash pad by the lake

Last Friday Liam and I went to the power ranch country club by the lake with my sister and her kids. There was a splash pad by the lake which, since it has been so hot, made for a nice destination. We brought food, blankets, swim suits and sunscreen and had a really good time. The kids had fun chasing the ducks and playing in the water. Liam, just as i thought screamed most of the time he was on the splash pad so we watched alot from a far. Had a good time though sitting on our blanket in the shade, keeping cool. We were there for a couple of hours so Liam decided he would take a nap in the grass. I think we will probably do this activity again this summer. Maybe Liam will like it a little better next time.

Opportunities for family pictures

My nephew was blesses yesterday, so my family all got together for the event. After the blessing we went back to my sisters house for a luncheon. I thought since we were all dressed up it would be nice to get some family pictures. We really have not done any since Christmas. I am not really loving the ones we got. Both the boys were not cooperating. So I think I might need to ask a favor from my father in law, to do a shoot with all thress of us like when Liam was two weeks. I really like the ones we got then. I am all about pictures right now because I have some ideas for projects I would like to do with them. Not to mention Liam is growing up so fast and we will never have him the way he is now, ever again!

Pictures for our family, of Liam

Yes, I am suffering from an only child syndrome. I can't stop taking pictures of him.

9 Month Stats

Liam got two shots today and one toe prick. At nine months old I have counted 18 shots since birth! 18 really, that is just mean! He will yet again have many shots at his one year check up but we won't think about that. Liam is doing really well and staying on track with his stats. Today his numbers were
Weight- 19 pounds 5 ounces 25-50%
Height- 29 inches 75%
Head- 17.25 inches 10-25%
After the doctor we went to the park next door and found out, unlike grass Liam really likes sand. He would not even look up at me, just wanted to play with it. Go figure. Don't know if I will ever get a good photo shoot out of this little boy.

9 months, what tooooo FAST!

So I see all these women around me having new babies and I have tp keep reminding myself I don't have a newborn myself anymore. I work in a pediatric unit and I am taking care of yonger babies then my own all the time. I love the age of 9 months so much fun, but makes me so sad how old he is getting. I know 9 months is still so young but if time has already gone this fast he is gonna be in school before I know it. He already does not cuddle as much as he used too. But enough about how I am in denile about him growing up. Liam is always on the move these days. He crawls so fast sometimes I get scared because he was there one min. and gone the next I don't know where he is. HE is not yet walking, but I think it is just because he is scared. He has stood on his own a couple of times, but he just does not trust his legs alone. If you look at his body he looks like a one year old but his face and head look so small. To funny. My little, tall boy is a mini of his dad, 100%. Okay I guess he has some of my features but really is his dad. Loves to roll pretty much anything around the floor. And whatever he is doing puts so much concentration into it. He loves to babble in his own language and is very vocal, we even have to tell him to shhh sometimes when he is being extra loud. He is already throwing little boy tantrums when he does not get something he wants fast enough, And yes, you might think us mean, but he has been to time out once already too. He would not stop biting. So he got to cry in his crib for a while. But we have decided to move his time out to a pack and play not his bed. No bad associations with his bed ya know. We just love our crazy little man to pieces!
