More Trick than Treat

Today, Liam had his 4-month check-up. He had more shots. This time he figured out what they were... and didn't like it one bit. He's also been extremely cranky all day. Thank you Mom for dealing with him.

For those who care, he is 15 pounds 12 ounces and 26 inches long.

More Cousins!

In August, I met my boy cousins -- Justin and Bryan. In October, I met my girl cousins -- Ashlyn and Gabby. Despite their obsession with American Girl and Disney Princesses, they are pretty cool chicks! They live in Indiana, but not in the same area as Grandma and Grandpa.

Hopefully, I will be able to share some pictures from my weekend in the Region. However, Mommy and Daddy failed yet again to use their camera as it was intended -- frequent and often. Everybody promised to send us pictures. Yet despite their complaints about the infrequency of my blog posts, they fail to send me pictures to go with my musings. No pictures, no blog posts.

First Airplane Trip

Here's a picture of me before my first airplane trip. I have been on 3 more flights since then! I like to travel, but getting through security sucks. They kept demanding that I take off my shoes. I didn't even know what they were talking about -- I've never in worn a pair shoes in my life. The other thing that sucks about airplanes is that they never land on-time. Mommy says that they sometimes do. But my experience finds otherwise. Four flights. Four late arrivals.

The best part of airplanes is being held by Mommy for multiple hours. She makes flying fun. Heck, she makes it relaxing.

More Halloween







Halloween Baby Style

Today, I experienced the cutest thing ever... Halloween Baby Style!
Doug, Liam and I went to a Halloween Party for my New Mommies Group. Here are just some of the pictures. More to share... because they are just too cute!

Above: Liam (the dragon, second from the left) sitting with some of his girlfriends (Charlie-- the Pea in the Pod, Ella -- the Dalmatian, Priya -- the Chili Pepper, and Clare -- the Cow).



Normally, I would say that Liam is the cuttest baby in any picture. But honestly, Lilly dressed up as a Lobster wins hands down!

4 month check-in

Sorry everybody. This has been a crazy month. Hopefully, Liam will be able to tell you all about it in the coming weeks. But Doug has been away for the campaign, so I have been playing single mommy and haven't had time to post anything.

Anyway, I will have Liam's stats on Friday after his 4 month check-up.



Liam's likes:
Standing up (assisted of course)
Bouncing (no assistance needed)
Chewing on his blanket
Rolling over onto his stomach

Liam's dislikes:
The Cubs inability to make it past the first round of the playoffs
Going to bed early
The wait just before you can finally deboard an airplane
Sarah Palin
