Pool Time!!!

My mom got a us a new pool for Liam. We thought we would try it the day we got it. It is a cute little whale shaped pool. Liam was all smiles to be going outside. He was excited about this pool/new toy! However, it didn't work out as planned. Liam didn't like the cold hose water. In fact he hated it. We thought that if Chris went in with him he might like it more. Well Liam had other plans. He didn't like it. We tried a variety of ways to get him to love the pool but the water was too cold. So after a few attempts we decided that we would let the warm warm up a bit from the sun. Liam seemed to enjoy the pool the next day after it had warmed a bit. He takes after his momma..... we like our water to be warm... it is the Florida blood we have. Thankfully he is over the pool issue and loves it now.

Not a fan of the water

He hated the water!!! 

Funny Pictures and update......

     We have been using the camera lately. I have a few cute pictures to share with everyone. Liam has been wonderful. He is growing up so fast. He has learned to say "quack". He is into everything. Liam is defiantly all boy. He loves to run outside and climb anything he can. He has a great temperament. With all the outside play, he is sleeping more and sleeping hard. It is nice to wear him out.He is napping twice still. Once in the morning for a hour and once in the afternoon for 2 hours. Some days he will sleep longer depending on how much outside playtime we have had that day. He loves to take baths and splash. He thinks it is great. We are still working on not standing in the tub but he just loves to climb. Lately with all the World Cup talk and watching, Liam is trying to kick the ball. Chris is helping him learn. He loves it. He also loves to throw. We are working on not throwing toys other than balls but it is hard for him to differentiate between them. Liam has found Ava. He loves her so much. He loves to pet her and sit by her. It is cute. He follows her around the house and outside. It is very cute to watch. He loves to play with her. He plays tug a war with her and a string. It is very nice to see them getting along. He just loves his AvaBell.  It is hard to imagine that I have a toddler now. Liam is a joy for Chris and I.

 The other day after his bath, we played with Liam's hair. It was cute to see the mohawk on him. It didn't last long but it was cute for the time being. He didn't seem to mind to much.

Climby McClimerson!!!

Liam has discovered climbing!!! He is obsessed with climbing. He tries to climb everything now. We are trying to encourage his climbing but some of the things he wants to climb at not to favorable for a toddler. The other day he tried to climb the bookcase. We put a stop to that! However, He loves to climb.... He climbs the stairs. He must climb the stairs to his room now, all by himself. He loves to climb on the ottoman and the fireplace. He is all boy!

On the ottoman!

Little update.....

Liam is finally starting to get over the diaper rash. However he has a cold that won't leave us. It has been making him cough at night. He also shared his lovely cold with me. I have been sick with the head chest congestion. Thankfully Chris has been very helpful with caring for Liam. I am feeling much better as is Liam. I think things are really looking up. It was a hard week to be sick or have a sick child. I had 4 tests this week. Thankfully I survived enough to take all them with confidence. I am feeling much better after some much needed sleep. Hopefully we are looking up and we well on our way to a healthier family!

Diaper Rash

     Yesterday, Liam started with a terrible diaper rash! We tried everything we had in the house and nothing was working. This was our first real diaper rash! I decided it was time for drastic measures.... We stripped Liam naked and took him outside. I thought airing him out would be good for him...... Well, little did I know how much fun he would have naked. It would have been nice to let him run in the house but since we are not potty trained that was not possible. He loved running around. He chased the cat and ran around. The air really helped with the rash. This morning there was not screaming over a diaper change. We are still a little pink on bottom but it is getting better. I think we might do some more airing out in the near future to help combat more diaper rashes. Not to mention it was cute to watch naked Liam run around! I love naked babies! All those rolls are so darn cute!

Playing in the rain!

Yesterday, we had a nice summer rain. Chris thought we should take the time to let Liam play in the rain before his bath. I was a little hesitant since Liam doesn't really like the rain and I was worries about him catching a cold! Liam was a little gun shy at first but he warmed up very quickly. He didn't wait to go in. He loved playing in the rain! I was great to see him having a wonderful time playing in the puddles!!!  He was much more excited about the rain than Ava. Liam  was running around having a great time. He was very dirty and in need of a bath at the end but it was all worth it. I just can't believe how big he is getting!!!

He loved the puddle!

Boys will be boys....

Liam likes to lay on Chris when he is playing video games.... This is funny to me because Chris can really get into a game.... I should have known this would happen. Liam loved the noise of the video games when I was pregnant with him. He just lays by daddy and enjoys the games......

When mommy is not looking.....

The other day, I was doing something and Chris and Liam were playing. Liam loves to play in our bedroom when he can. We hardly let him in there so it is a fascination with him. I guess Chris and Liam were in the bedroom, having fun. I then find this............

Liam was in my UGG boots and playing with our German wooden statue!! He was trying to walk in the boots and needless to say it was not working! This lasted for about 10 minutes before he got frustrated! I just thought this was so funny! 

Liam and Sparta.....

Pete and Cathy have moved in. We are enjoying having them here with us. Liam loves his Uncle Pete and Aunt Cathy! He is loves to play and sure does laugh a lot now. His Uncle Pete makes him laugh! Well, Pete and Cathy have a guinea pig named Sparta.... Liam loves Sparta. He talks to Sparta. He helps Cathy give him carrots during the day! It is very cute! Liam is fascinated with Sparta.

Liam and Sparta!

Laundry

Liam loves to help with the laundry. The other day he took it upon himself to play in the basket. He loves the laundry basket! It is very cute.

Liam and SGT. Gator playing!

The playgroup!

We were lucky to have a beautiful day at the end of May. Liam and I ventured out to the playgroup at the outdoor mall. This was Liam's first experience with the playground. He loved it. He really enjoyed climbing up the stairs and up the slide. He however was not able to figure out how to slide down the slide. But it made for a fun filled day and a tired little boy!
