This is Liam loving his dinner of squash...

His belly is starting to get full...

His belly is so full that he's thinking about taking a nap...

And he's OUT!!!

Our "Future President"...falling asleep on the job!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

We started the weekend by moving. After lots of thought and consideration, we decided to rent for two more years (while David gets his Masters), because we aren't sure if we'll stay here when he finishes the program. We found a beautiful, brand new house that we are renting from the builder. Since we are renting from the builder, we were able to sign a lease with a purchase option at the end, so that if we end up staying in Norman, we won't have to look for a house to buy. We'll just buy this one. I love, love, love it! I'll post some pics once I have everything in order. With an infant in the house...who knows when that will be!!! Thank you mom and dad for helping us move and helping take care of Liam throughout the moving process!

On Memorial Day, we went to a cookout at my good friend, Karen's, house. Karen has a beautiful pool in her backyard, so we thought it would be the perfect time to try out Liam's swimsuit. Although he looked adorable in his suit, he hated the water and never got more than his feet wet!!!

This pic was taken before we tried putting him in the water...still a happy baby!

This is when he started screaming.

Karen tried to calm him to get him further into the water, but he wouldn't stop screaming!

Finally back in mommy's arms and over dry land! Does he look adorable in those shades or what?!?!?

Yummy, yummy!

On the same day David graduated, Liam turned 5 months! He got to celebrate by eating some yummy carrots, although I'm not so sure he thought of it as a celebration!!!

I had to put an OSU bib on him, because I had enough crimson at the graduation! Ha!!!

A few days later, Liam tried some green beans. He LOVED the green beans so much that he tried to eat what was left on his bib! Ha!!!

David is finished with law school!!!

David graduated from OU Law on May 16th! Our weekend was filled with events surrounding the graduation. Here are some highlights of our weekend.

The night before the commencement, the law school hosted a reception for the graduates and their families. My mom and Grandma made it into town in time to go with us. We spent some time touring the law school and then eating some yummy food. This is a pic of our little family sitting at the judge's bench in the Bell Courtroom.

Friday night the 3L class hosted a graduation party at La Luna. David and I had asked my mom months in advance if she would mind keeping Liam at the hotel with her, so that we could go to the party and not worry about getting home at any certain time. Of course, she jumped at the opportunity to have Liam to herself all night long! I don't have any pics from the party, because... I didn't go and David only went for an hour to work the door as the Class Treasurer! We decided to sleep instead of partying!!!! Although I missed Liam the entire night and probably missed out on some fun at the party, it was wonderful to get a full night's sleep!

This is a pic of Liam waiting for his daddy's graduation to start. Please notice that he is wearing an adorable sweater vest over a white polo, which matches the plaid pants he is wearing! (You'll know why I'm pointing this out in a second.)

And the moment David had worked so hard for...getting hooded. (Sorry it's so dark!) I was bursting with pride during the ceremony. I actually teared up thinking about how hard David has worked to get his law degree and how much we had been through to get to this point.
Our family after the graduation. Notice that Liam no longer matches! As soon as the ceremony was over, we took the sweater vest and polo off to surprise David with Liam's onesie that says, "My daddy graduated from OU Law!!!" It was the cutest thing ever! (You have to check out makeaonsie.com!)

CONGRATS, DAVID!!! I am so proud of you!!!

Some recent pics

Sorry I haven't updated lately! When I get home from work, all I want to do is hang out with my little man. I know there are some grandmas out there that are having some serious Liam with drawls, so here are some pics for ya!

Yesterday Liam and I went on a walk with Casey and Owen. Liam borrowed one of Owen's hat, so that he wouldn't get a sunburn. Isn't he adorable in it?!?! I sure think so!

Love those eyes and those lips!!! I could just eat him up!!!

Liam and I sporting our orange...too bad the Cowboys lost their game that day.

This was the day that Liam had his last RSV shot. Once again, he took it like a champ! The home health nurse always came to our house to give him the shot, so we had a "Biohazard" container stored in our cabinets. It was great to finally be able to throw it away! Liam suffered his first stuffy nose and ear ache this last week. I think he's finally feeling better, because he's starting to eat more. He loves his new formula and can't get enough of it!!!

These are the flowers David got me my first week back to work. They were beautiful and made a tough week a little less tough.

My new favorite flower...a Gerber Daisy.

Hanging out in his Bumbo. It's amazing how much he is changing. Everyday that passes, Liam seems a little more alert. His personality is starting to come out, and let me tell ya...he is a talker! (He totally gets that from his daddy!)

3 Months Old?!?!?

Where does the time go? It does not seem possible that my little man turned 3 months old yesterday. He is growing so much! The sleeper he has on in this pic used to be way too big for him, now it's officially too small, and won't be worn again. :(

We finally decided it was time to take Liam into public. Here he is on the way to the mall...
And here he is after the mall. I guess the shopping wore him out!
In an attempt to eat at the dinner table at the same time, we gave Liam's convertible highchair a try. I guess he liked it, because he fell asleep as soon as we buckled him in, giving David and I a chance to enjoy a quiet dinner together!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

You can't tell in this picture, but Liam is definitely a "wee bit o' irish" with his reddish hair! Thank you, Uncle Barry, for the St. Patty's Day shirt!!!

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day and the beautiful Spring day, we decided to take Liam to the duck park. We didn't stay too long, because it was VERY windy. Here are a couple of quick pics we snapped before we left.

Pics with Yoda!

Liam and I went to have his 3 month pics taken by a good friend and decided to throw in some Easter pics while we were at it. Apparently the bunnies get really mean by Easter because of all of the kiddos pulling and chewing on their ears, so I guess it's best to have the pics taken early. The first three pics are with the super sweet bunny, Yoda. Yoda really likes to be the center of attention because, as you can see...he kind of takes over! Luckily, Liam is accustomed to little fuzzy creatures crawling around him (our dog, Ross, loves to be near Liam), so the bunny didn't scare him at all. I love this first pic! Yoda and Liam are posing perfectly!

Yoda starting to take over...
Where's Liam?!?! You can see my hand in the top of the pic grabbing for Yoda. Liam took it like a champ!
I love Liam's outfit! He's such a little man!
This one is my favorite from the day.
Liam did NOT like having the bunny on his back...or was it being on his tummy he didn't like?
At this point, Liam is yelling for HELP!!!
I guess the bunnies wore Liam out, because this is what he did when we got home and throughout most of the night. He is such an angel!!!

What have we been up to?

Hanging out with this guy! We got bored last week and pulled out the Bumbo chair. Of the ten pictures I took, this is the only one where he doesn't look miserable. I actually think he looks pretty cute sitting in his Bumbo!

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated my best friend, Skye's, 30th birthday. My mom came into town to watch Liam, so that we could go to dinner at Soleil with Skye and her family. We had lots of yummy foods and some adult conversation. It was great for David and I to be able to leave the house together for once! Here's a pic of our family before we left for dinner.
Liam finally fits into the outfit we had planned to bring him home from the hospital in!!! We had a hard time choosing the perfect outfit at first. David wanted crimson, and of course I wanted ORANGE. So, we met in the middle and chose an Eskimo Joe's shirt, since that is where we met. Unfortunately, the shirt was a lot too big for him to wear home from the hospital. But, he looks great in it now that he is a TEN pound baby. Yep, that's right...Liam now weighs 10 pounds, 3 ounces. Check out those cheeks and semi-fat rolls on his legs in this pic!!! He is just scrumptious!!!
