2 Months


Time is flying by very quickly for our family of four! Liam is an absolute angel and is growing and learning everyday.

Here's some new stats on him:

  • He is growing, growing, growing. He is 2' tall which puts him in the 85%ile for height. He is a bit on the light side, weighing in at 10lb 15oz which puts him in the 13 %ile for weight and causing us to have to come in next month for a weight check. 
  • He is a great eater; although it still seems like he wants to eat constantly!
  • He still sleeps a great deal. He can only stay up an hour or an hour and a half at a time before he needs to go back down. He doesn't take very long naps in his crib - we are working on that!
  • He's started recognizing toys and instantly lights up when he sees the light up sunshine (Callie's favorite when she was a baby too!)
  • He is an extremely smiley boy! His smiles light up his whole face.
  • He has started trying to talk - he coos
  • When he is awake, he prefers to be laying down so he can see everyone and everything around him.
  • He is not the best at doing tummy time, he has realized if he just lays his head down he can suck on his fingers very easily!
  • He is hit and miss with the pacifier. He will take it for naps (although he gets and angry about it at first) but pretty much refuses at nighttime. He has started finding his fist to suck on - not sure if that will develop into anything but I'd much rather get him hooked on the pacifier than the hand (it's easier to take away)!



Practicing tummy time with his big sister:
It is exhausting!

Callie is very encouraging - we hear "lift your head brother....like this"


He is getting very strong!

Callie has fully embraced being a big sister. She walks around the house calling herself a big sister and often will tell me that I can't play with some of her toys because they are only for big sisters. Preston called her a big girl one day and her response was "I'm not a big girl, I am a big sister!".

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
