I've been deleted.

I just learned that I've been deleted from a friend's "favorite blogs" list. I suppose it's fair, since I haven't posted in 9 months, but it still stings. I have the sweetest video of Liam at the aquarium that I wanted to post (and it WOULD NOT post, I don't know why), and being OCD, I wanted the posts to be in order (also the reason I have nothing on the LBF blog either). There are just not enough hours in the day...I don't know whats going to happen when we have another baby (no news there, either, just making an observation).

Anyway, I hereby promise to be better at blogging and I am crossing my fingers that I make it back on the "favorite blogs" list. :)

Aquarium

My favorite Christmas gift this year was a pair of tickets to the Georgia Aquarium from James. I have wanted to go since it opened, and when we found out we were pregnant, I was so excited about going with the baby. Liam was the perfect age - awake and alert enough to really appreciate all that was going on around him, yet small enough to carry or push comfortably in the stroller.
-
He loved the coral reef and whale shark exhibits the best - lots of color and movement. He stood at the glass wall for 30 minutes just watching the huge fish go by. We all had a great time!

Christmas and New Year

Liam's first Christmas morning was fun...he actually was interested in his toys more than the paper. He was spoiled rotten being the only grandbaby on both sides and the only nephew to my two sisters!

And here he is on New Year's Day morning wearing Natalie's shoes after the festivities at our house the night before. I was nervous that he wouldn't sleep at all, especially with a house full of noise and fireworks going off throughout the entire neighborhood. We put him to bed at 7:00 that evening and he didn't wake up AT ALL until 7:00 the next morning! We even checked on him a few times to make sure he was okay, he was so quiet. He was his normal cheerful self the next morning!

Crawling!!!

Liam decided to give us the wonderful gift of his crawling about a week before Christmas! He's SO fast now...more on that later...but here he is on the first day he decided that crawling was more efficient than rolling everywhere:

Back in business!

I can't believe it's been two whole months since my last post! I promise to be better - Christmas this year was a complete blur! So much has happened and Liam has gotten so big...here are a few highlights in the next few posts.

We went to visit James's great aunt Rudy (James's mom's aunt and Liam's great, great aunt) before Christmas. She's a spunky little lady and it was a real treat to introduce Liam to her!

Liam meets Santa

James had the day off today (thanks, rain!), so we went to the Mall of Georgia to take care of a very important Christmas tradition-in-the-making: visiting Santa Claus! I think I was secretly hoping for a classic screaming-baby shot, but he did very well! (I'm sure we'll have one of those eventually!) He was pretty interested in Santa's outfit...all in all, I think he did pretty well! See you next year, Santa!

Thanksgiving post - finally!

Well, it's a week late, but here are pics from Thanksgiving! My youngest sister, Brie, closed on her first house the day before, so we have been busy painting and moving her in since then.

Liam quite enjoyed his first Thanksgiving...he tried real mashed potatoes (loved them), sweet potatoes (hated them), and pretty much anything else that was soft and mushy. He also got to meet Bella, my sister Amy's chihuahua/mountain feist mix. Not a fan. He spent the last part of his time at G&G Neuhart's snuggled up on Grandma's shoulder on the swing, one of his favorite places to be. Then it was off to the Adair's for a delicious honeybaked ham dinner...and James reportedly LOST 3 pounds over the weekend. Jerk.
