Easter

For Easter this year wesplit the holiday over the course of two days so that both sides of the family could be visited. Saturday was spent celebrating with the Harris side of the family. We met at my parents and did an Easter egg hunt at a park close by. I had bought Liam his own special eggs with animal crackers inside instead of candy just cause he is so young i thougt it would be a better choice for him. I lined them up and he had a good time slam dunking them into his bucket. After the egg hunt we had a very yummy dinner. Liam was a wild man that night and sure had my family laughing running around the family room being crazy.

On Easter Sunday we let Liam sleep in as late as we could woke him up and got him dressed in his sunday best. He looked so darn handsome. I bought this little vest and pants especially for the holiday. This sunday was also extra fun for me because it was the first time I got to see Liam go to nursery since I work weekends so much. He just sat in his little chair looking at the other kids crying. He was so brave. When we picked him up he was having so much fun with bubbles. When we got home we let him get his special Easter goodies since we were in a hurry before church. After his nap we headed out to Paul's parents in Phoenix for the Dunn side of the family. We ate first then had another Easter egg hunt that Lam had more fun running at then finding eggs. It was a fun weekend that was great spending time together as a family.

News

Well So I am gonna put it out in the open, Me and Paul are expecting baby number 2. I am in my tenth week. Baby is due around October 23, 2012. We have had one ultrasound and baby was measuring just a few days small but had a beating heart. I would put the picture on here but you can't really see anything. I tried to put the picture on here of Liam wearing his big brother shirt, that was how I told Paul, but I can't get it to work.
Liam is growing fast and has alot of energy these days. He is down to one nap about an hour in a half to two hours but sleeps eleven hours straight at night. He loves his crib and his pacifier so that will be two challenges we are gonna have to break him of hopefully before the arrival of his sibling. This child loves food! I don't know if i have ever seen such a great eater, but because he is so tall and filled with energy it keeps him quite lean and strong.

Liam's first haircut

Liam is just about seventeen months and had never had any of his hair cut, EVER! Well I was giving him a bath this past Saturday night and noticed he had some quite long pieces of hair not only on the sides by his ears but on top as well. I thought he could definently use a trim. The thing is Paul has been bugging my to shave his head for months! Paul has this thing about his boy getting his head shaved and how cool he will look. So I asked Paul to come upstairs and talk to me about this hair dilemma. I told him I would be okay with him shaving Liam's hair this once to see how it will look. I thought we would shave it longer not anything to crazy extreme. Come to find out Paul only had a 1 guard. He said it would be fine and he would look great. I said okay and we then started. Liam did great at first, I welled up immediantly seeing that precious baby hair fall to the ground. After a few min. of the shaving Liam started freaking out and to finish was more than difficult. As you will see I don't know if Liam liked the hair cut either. For me most definently NOT! Next time it will be a trim.

Pictures of Liam in the past month

Liam is approaching his seventeenth month, coming up on February 8th. This boy is very active. He loves to run and be out of the house. He loves to play pick a boo, kick balls, throw things, baby einstein, eat!, and play with other kids. He is starting to be mom's little helper and loves to be allowed to help with everything I am doing.

Only a month late for Christmas

Christmas was lots of fun and both Christmas eve and Christmas day were busy and full of family. Since it was on a Saturday Sunday this year both me and Paul got it off from work, so glad for that.
Christmas Eve was spent with my side of the family as usual. We had chrsitmas eve activities and dinner at Caroline's fiance Adam's house.
The kids made ginger bread houses. Liam did not participate cause he is a little young for that. The older kids put on a play. We had an array a pasta dishes for dinner. We watched the birth of Christ. And then had the traditional one present opening.
Christmas morning we had at our house. We let Liam open all of his gifts, which I did more of the opening then he did. He just kept playing with whatever got opened, had no interest in what was still hidden in paper. Had breakfast then a nap and off we headed to Paul's parents house for dinner. Did a little family photo shoot when we got there. Had mexican food for dinner. Liam was really picky that night and did not eat much. His favorite part was when we had a bon fire out in the backyard. He was happy to run free for more than an hour. I gave him a bath got him all ready for bed and we then started the trek home more than 60 miles. It was a good Christmas liam got lots of toys and it all keeps him busy.














So I am super late with this post. I blame it on the fact that I got an iphone just after new years. I am never on the computer now.

December Joy

PICTURE OVERLOAD!

That really should be the title to this post. I am not a huge fan of writting stories with my post so I am cramming all of the month of December so far into one post. I did not realize how many pictures I have taken this month. Guess month fifteen is just that special. Not its just I love this time of the year and have tried to do alot of things with Liam to keep him happy and enjoy the holiday.
So these pictures are some time that we spent with Paul's parents at their house, in their backyard, temple lights and Nielson's ice cream shop. The ones with Liam in his jammies and with the christmas lights he is eating are just some cute shots I tried to take here at home that did not turn out how I wanted, but I must say I love the one where he is looking at himself in the mirror. The ones with Liam in his green boots is a rainy day and wanted to get some with him and his umbrella, went to auntie Dianna's for those but he was more interested in running! The ones with Liam in the grey and red shirt are at a christmas party for Paul's mom's side of the family. And the ones with Santa, the grinch, the snowman and the house of tons of lights, that was tonight. That house is a block away from us and is just awesome. We wanted to see it for like the tenth time and wanted pictures with santa. Liam did not like any of the characters, but seemed the most interested in the snowman. So there you have it our month so far. More in a few days for Christmas.
