Liam's 4 months

Here is the linebacker's 4 month stats:

Weight: 20lbs 7oz (way off the charts, over 100%)
Height: 27inches (off the charts, over 100%)
Head: I always forget to write it down but it was almost off the charts as well. Quite the bowling ball.

At 4 months old Liam is still not big on sleeping during the day (3-4 naps a day each usually only 30-45 mins.) Nighttime sleep in somewhat unpredictable but still waking at least once a night.
He smiles and laughs a lot. His favorite person in the world would be Lexie (I like to think I am a close second.) Very active and strong.
Wearing size 4 diapers, like his 2 year old sister. Clothes are 9-12 months.
He has been solely fed with breast milk, up until this point. The doctor gave us the go-ahead to start solids now though. Originally, I would of wanted to wait until closer to 6 months because of the risk of allergies but given his size I think he might be ready.

Catching some z's...

Awww- if only they could figure out to do this at the same time!

Liam's 3 months old

He's happy. We are hoping he can share the joy with his sister, the zombie.

Such a cheeseball.

SsStriking a pose.

Here are some pictures of him on his 3 month birthday. No stats this month, next checkup is at 4 months. He was wearing 6-12 month clothes and in size 3 or 4 diapers. At this point, he was a good eater and no so great sleeper.

catch up from January

Somehow, I got way behind on blogging. I really want to stay diligent at keeping up on this, there is just so much I don't want to forget about our lives right now....

So here we go, here are some catch up pictures from the month of January and and the things we were up to during that month.

Lexie is my little mommy helper, always telling me what Liam needs.

Liam grew like a weed, added a few more rolls.

I act like a fool to get him to smile.

He'll never be too big to cuddle mommy.

This is what happens when you have a girl first.

Cousin Caralynn arrives!

Dada's and the babies.

The happy family.

The Brock babies welcomed their first cousin on the Garwood side on January 8th. Little Caralynn Rose Garwood, weighed in at 8lb8oz, and that was 2 weeks early. Yikers, big babies apparently run in the family.
All 4 of us went down to Olympia to meet her at the hospital. Caralynn is just beautiful and seems to be a great sleeper. Liam and Caralynn are less then 3 months apart, which means they are going to have lots of fun growing up together.
Congrats to Chris and Britt!

Christmas Day 2009

This was part of our Christmas photo-shoot. Lexie is 2, Liam only 6 weeks.

Jet-let? Or too much egg-nog?

Dada got spoiled too.

The DORA backpack she had been asking for.

Little Elf child, cooking Christmas breakfast.

Christmas day was so special this year. We woke up and exchanged presents at our house. Santa also visited our house to spoil to two cutest babies in the world.
Then we headed over to Pop's and Neicey's house where we got to enjoy the rest of the special day. Pop's and Neicey got Lexie an awesome kitchen, complete with all the fixings! She loved it. Liam got spoiled with clothes and toys. Uncle Chris had to work this year on Christmas but we enjoyed spending time with Papa Louie, Britt, Nana and George, and Kelsey.
So thankful for the sweet family we have, all of our blessings, good health. And most important gift that God gave us, his son Jesus who he sent in to this world to die for our sins. NOTHING can beat that!
On to 2010....

Christmas Eve 09

Sleeping through the action.

I think this one was a hit.

Cute as a button- our niece Maggie.

Kiddos playing in the box (Levi, Lexie, and Maggie.)

We spent Christmas Eve with The Brock's. As is tradition, the extended family get together and have a huge party and white elephant gift exchange. The family seems to get bigger and bigger each year. So much fun!
