babies and bars

Brian, Karen and Liam went out Friday night for Church Friends Happy Hour. We met up with some of our good friends from church for drinks and appetizers. Liam got to spend some time with his friend Caden while Brian and Karen caught up with everyone. We had a great time and Liam loved the fresh fruit, sliders and chicken wings. He ate a little bit of each and then decided it was more fun feeding Daddy!

da bears

Liam isn't quite sure what to do with stuffed animals yet (other than poke them or push them over). This past week Brian and Karen got out bears from their childhood to see if Liam wanted to play with them....he was more interested in pushing, pinching, and pulling the noses on the bears than anything else. However, he did think it was really funny to be surrounded by bears (to bad you can't add audio to a digital camera...the first picture would include a big belly laugh)

Liam is 10 months old!

Liam is growing so fast and he seems to be doing new things everyday. He is cruising around on the furniture (or on the dog), he is crawling up the stairs on his own, he is eating all kinds of new foods, he will blow kisses, he waves bye bye and hello, he can hold is cup and his bottle and drink on his own, and he loves reading/looking through books. 

3B Aunties

Liam had lots of visitors on Saturday. Three of Karen's friends from college came to visit (Auntie AJ, Auntie Phaneth and Auntie Kelly). Phaneth, AJ, Karen and Liam went to Bethesda for the afternoon to see AJ's wedding dress and to have lunch. When they got back to the house Kelly was there. We all got to catch up and everyone took turns getting Liam hugs and kisses. Liam was so tired by the end of the day that he took a long nap and then slept through the night like a champ (thanks for wearing him out girls!)

Happy Halloween!

Liam celebrated his first Halloween on Friday. He was originally going to be a bulldog, but the day before Halloween when we tried the costume on we found out that it only came up to his armpits. (Brian's Aunt Donna had bought it for him when he was 3 months...we assumed it would fit...oops!) So instead of a bulldog Liam was a giraffe. We showed off his costume at his Granddad's house Friday afternoon and then headed over to Chris and Dana's for some chili, candy and trick-or-treating with Madison (a fairy princess) and Cameron (a sheep). While at Chris and Dana's Brian decided that he needed a costume for the evening as well...so he had Karen shave part of his head so he could be a monk (he later went and got a brown robe to wear with his costume).
