Introducing Bugs.

Liam has a new stuffed bunny named Bugs. I know. Not very original, but it was fitting and will hopefully be easy for him to say.

Bugs actually isn't that new. He was given to Liam as a gift while we where in Bastrop during my maternity leave. Due to Bugs's size, I placed him on a shelf in Liam's nursery until Liam got big enough to play with him. This week, I found out that not only is Liam big enough to play with Bugs, but Liam is absolutely bonkers for his stuffed bunny.

Splish Splash.

I was taking a bath! I had to test my new bubble bath, of course!






Check out my locks, which are getting redder by the day.

Bringing in 2010 (Part II).

More pictures of our sweet babies.

Like Mother, Like Son.

This is exactly how I react when I'm woken up from a nap.



In my defense, I didn't wake him up just for giggles. We had our six month photo shoot today. Proofs are coming soon!

This baby just makes me laugh.

Big News.

No, I'm not pregnant (big, no HUGE, sigh of relief).

BUT, I do have big news today. Well, it's big news to me and Dow.

Check this out!



Yes, my friends, that is Liam finally holding his own bottle. In fact, this morning he fed himself his entire bottle on his own. It was great! He slurped away in our bed while I snoozed away (to the sounds of Handy Manny).

Dow and I have been waiting for this day since July 21st, and I'm so glad it's here! Now, on to potty training.....

Bringing in 2010.

I was a little sad to say farewell to 2009. It will always hold a special place in my heart because it brought us this adorable bundle (who seems to love my warm Christmas sheets):



But, I know 2010 is going to bring us so many exciting milestones. Just think, this time next year, we'll have a walking, talking little boy on our hands.

PLEASE PRAY.

Now, on to our New Year's weekend.

Our first New Year's Eve with Liam was great. Liam was party-hardy until about 8:30. Dow and I, on the other hand, stayed up and celebrated to...drum roll, please...midnight Eastern time! I was pretty proud of myself. I almost made it to midnight our time, but I just couldn't do it. I crashed at about 11:40.

On New Year's day, Liam and I headed to Memphis to meet our Tennessee family (Pammie, Mikey, Lucy, Emily, Joel and Jackson). It was a great weekend of catching up and celebrating Jackson's big "1"!

Here are Jackson and Liam meeting for the first time. These pictures crack me up because they are so similar to early pictures of me and Emily. Of course, Liam is the pale one (just like me), and Jackson is the tan one (just like Emily). If I had one of our old pictures to scan in, you'd see what I'm talking about.




On Saturday, my Mom and Coo Coo met us in Memphis to celebrate Jackson's first birthday. Emily and Joel hosted a wonderful birthday party in spite of my mom making a cameo appearance as Freddy Krueger. That's a joke, but her face did kind of look like this after her treatment. Sorry, Mom.


Although Liam was the youngest person at Jackson's birthday party, that didn't stop his partying ways...



Until he fell asleep in Jackson's crib.

I have to say I was a little sad to leave on Sunday (but glad to see Dow). I miss my family and wish I saw them more often! I guess this little weekend trip will have to do...for now.

Christmas With The Sports.

On the 26th, we traveled to Auburn and celebrated Christmas all over again. What a great way to do things! That gives me three days in a row to open presents!

This year, however, the focus was on little man. Here he is doing the present-opening shebang one more time. Santa was T.I.R.E.D.
