Easter

We celebrated Easter this year with brunch on Saturday at The Walnut Room in Macy's on State Street.  They had face painting, balloons and of course the Easter bunny.  Grayson was so excited to see the Easter bunny.  He had the biggest smile and luckily Daddy caught this on camera.  We had brunch and then took some pictures with the bunny.  Easter morning we opened the baskets and had an egg hunt.  Grayson had fun finding the eggs, but got tired after the 15th egg.  Oops!  The Easter bunny hid too many this year.  We watched The Good Dinosaur, one of Grayson's favorites.  He got this in his Easter basket.  Oma was with us and she made the boys cute Easter baskets full of goodies.  Grayson was so sad to see her leave and asked her when she is coming back.  He is so obsessed with his Oma!  Love to see them together.  It's so nice she lives so close and gets to spend a lot of time with the boys.  Liam adores her too and gives her lots of open mouth kisses.  He puts his head down on her and cuddles with her.  We had steaks, potatoes, broccoli and salad for dinner.  Afterwards Grayson and Mommy made Easter bunny sugar cookies.  At the end of the night Daddy and Grayson were cuddling on his chair watching the Good Dinosaur (again).  This boys LOVES Daddy!  It was a great Easter weekend until poor Liam got sick.  He had a temperature and a terrible cold.  Grayson has a little bit of a cough, but nothing like Liam.  Hopefully these boys will be healthy again soon.  

St. Patty's Day

We celebrated St. Patty's Day at home with the boys.  Grayson wasn't interested in my little photo shoot so unfortunately I did not get any pictures with the two of them.  Liam did a great job posing!  He had fun on his 1st St. Patty's Day.  He has a little Irish in him so we had to dress him up for the occasion.  Happy St. Patty's Day!

Liam ~ 7 Months

Liam is 7 months old!  

New things ~

Rolling all over the place ~

He has become quite the pro at rolling back to belly and belly to back.  He is rolling all over the place and getting into anything that is in front of him.  He loves Grayson's toys, but Grayson is still learning how to share with his little brother.   

Spending more time on his belly  ~

He is spending a lot more time on his belly (finally), especially when we put a bunch of toys in front of him.  He still does not like to be alone and will let you know it by fussing.  

Almost sitting ~

He is almost sitting by himself and is getting better every day.  We put the boppy pillow behind him and this helps keep him steady.  We will also let him try by himself and sit right behind him to catch him when he tips over.  

Getting his 1st tooth ~

I felt a bump on his bottom left side on March 14th.  He chews on everything he can get in his mouth.  Hopefully this tooth will pop through soon.  

Eating solid foods ~

He is doing better with eating food, although he still does not love it.  We added two new meals in the last month so he is eating a total of 3 meals a day.  The doctor told us to add yogurt since he is not doing well with regular baby food.  He seems to like yogurt.  We have tried vanilla, pear and apple.  We also tried fresh strawberries and frozen blueberries cut up in very small pieces and he loved it.  We hope he is turning a corner with eating solid and baby food.  

Found his feet ~

Liam found his feet on February 20th.  He started playing with them and soon started putting them in his mouth.  It's so cute to see him do this.

First time at the ocean and pool

We went to South Beach Miami for a family vacation and to visit our friends Holly, David and their new baby Ariel.  Liam went to the beach and the pool for the first time.  He actually had his first trip to Mexico when he was just 8 weeks old, but he spent all of his time sleeping in the hotel room.  While we were at the beach Liam did not actually get in the sand, but he had fun watching big brother Grayson.  We rented a cabana so Liam and I hung out there most of the time.  I took Liam in the pool and he was unsure at first, but seemed to warm up after a little while.  

Head Shape ~

His head shape is changing a lot because of his helmet.  We go to the doctor April 12th for a new scan and we can't wait to see his progress.  The orthotist said he had quite a growth spurt and was really pleased with the progress he's made.  

First time in the double stroller ~

The boys had fun taking their first walk in the double stroller.  Oma was with us so it made it extra special.
