Liam is out!!!

By 7:45.

Read by himself about 15 minutes...so cute, with his books next to the nightstand.

Dad found him a Thomas the Train website that had puzzles and games on it, and we played that for awhile before dinner. He had to match the train cards...like concentration, and he was pretty good at it.

He ate half a hotdog, a bowl of mac/cheese and some broccoli. Dad and I devoured the hotdogs since we have not had a hotdog in about three years! Gheez!! Then we had ice cream.....

The muppets were hysterical....what memories...popcorn, of course.

Off to bed ourselves.

Some early smiles

We caught Noah being particularly fun tonight.

Liam's pictures

Liam has been trying his hand with the camera. Here are his first pictures! It's fitting that he took pictures of his Kitty. Kitty is his favorite stuffed animal and an amazing imaginary friend.














Say "cheese" mommy and Noah! Not bad (better than some members of our family).

Head turning

Noah just started turning his head toward sound. He doesn't yet focus on you, but he'll turn his head in your general direction when he hears you in the room.

Car seat sleeper

Last night, Noah spent the whole night in his car seat... Propped up in his crib. It was the best night of sleep we've had in about 2 weeks.

New Job for Jeff

I start a new job tomorrow. Slightly longer commute than I'm used to.

I found it!

Today, Noah found his hand. Actually, it happened last night and was pretty disruptive of sleep. He has virtually no control over his little hands, but the they somehow make it to his mouth pretty consistently. It's really amazing to watch.

Bike Birthday

Today was Liam's good friend Will's 4th birthday. It was a bike birthday party complete with a stunt show from the neighborhood kids















The Lawsons live on a cul-de-sac so we set up a mini "training wheel criterium" course for the kids. Liam found himself just slightly off the lead at the start so found a "short cut" to the finish...

"Hey Buddy"

Liam has taken to calling Noah, "Buddy." It's cute. He mimics Jenia's intonation as well, "Hey, Buuoody."

Last night was a little rough. I'm taking the 5/6am feed to let Jenia sleep. She doesn't wake me up at 2am so it's spreading the work a little.

Of course, he seems to be sleeping better during the daytime than at night...

Belly button

Noah's free to take baths now! The cord finally fell off at 6 weeks!!! We went out for dinner and had a fun dessert to celebrate. Finally.
