Liam cut his second tooth! I can't believe my baby has 2 teeth coming in :( He is growing up way too fast. Today he was a little cranky, too, and was having a heyday with his vibrating teether (not to mention he was chewing on my chin all day). That is all I have for now; I am off to work and then Virginia Beach bound in the morning! First with a pit stop at HOBBY LOBBY!! Woohoo!
This weekend was awesome! It is so nice when I don't have to work the weekend and I can spend time with my boys. On Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market, grocery store etc., dyed Easter eggs, and finally watched the last Harry Potter.
Here is Liam and daddy dying eggs together.

Once we were done dying eggs. We all went up stairs and read "T'was The Night Before Easter" to Liam. It's a cute little book :) He loved it! Once he was a sleep with visions of the Easter Bunny in his head, Chris and I watched Harry Potter.
The next morning the Easter Bunny came and Liam was thrilled! He wore his First Easter outfit.
Then Daddy and Liam opened their Easter baskets
Liam love his new book, outfit, and stuffed chick :)
Chris was excited about the Big Bang Theory Season 3. Thanks to Scott we are both addicts now.
Liam grabbing at his goodies
After Easter Baskets Liam and Daddy went on an Easter Egg hunt.
It was a beautiful day so we decided to go to the zoo and it was a GREAT day for the zoo! We ended up parking near the gorillas who just happened to be getting ready for their Easter Egg hunt. The zookeepers made paper mache eggs stuffed with apples that had yogurt and peanut butter on them. It was great to watch the gorillas run out and find their treats.
Liam and me awaiting the gorillas
This one found his egg right away
The Silverback claimed his egg immediately and then sat right in front of the window for all the people to see.
We had the best view of the baby which was awesome. The baby is probably about 2 years old. He found an egg and had control of it for a small amount of time. Just watch the video below.
Next we went and saw the Sloth bears because Chris and I think they are awesome.
Daddy and Liam
He's a happy boy :)
Next we checked out the orangutans
Then we headed over to see the lions. It was great because all the babies were out. There were 6 of them, 2 adult females, and the male. This little guy wanted to play.
The moms and their babies
As we were heading back from the lions the orangutans decided to cross over the zoo on their ropes. It is so neat to see these guys hanging above you.
This one was in full swing. I even let out a gasp thinking he may fall but Chris proceded to tell me they are better at swinging than we are at walking [I meant Sarah in particular, but whatever -wcc]. Chris tried to get video of him but he moved too fast.
All in all it was a great Easter Sunday and we became zoo members so there will probably be many more trips (especially since zoo member kids like Liam get free animal crackers whenever they visit the zoo, even if he only has one tooth poking through his gums) :)
It's hard to believe that it has already been 5 months!! Our lil' man is growing so quickly and has the sweetest personality. He loves to play, talk, and is learning to take naps :) He is now 27in. long and I have no idea what he weighs. We will find out at his 6 month appt. He loves to chew and drool on pretty much everything in site, including my chin. He takes his little hands and grabs my face and then chews on my chin. I am sure only a mom would think it is cute! He actually has just cut his first tooth on his 5 month old birthday! I figured he was teething with all the drool and chewing all his toys but I never saw or felt anything until now. He has also become a little thumb sucker! No good! We are trying to prevent that the best that we can.
Apparently, when you turn 5 months old daddy lets you sit in the front seat of the car.
I actually ran into the Children's place so the boys stayed in the car. Liam does a pretty good job sitting up with just a little support.
Here is our boy and his 5 month old photo shoot!
He is a sweet boy.
He has the biggest smile and the best blue eyes
Also amazing facial expressions, which he has had since birth
I decided there is just not enough time in the week for me to keep up with blogging. I think I need to quit my job so I can do better ;) Here is a cute picture of our boy in one of my favorite outfits. Basically, I am in love with the idea of sweatpants that look like jeans. I wish they made them in adult sizes!
Apparently, when I am at work Daddy and Liam like to play in front of the mirror. Liam does enjoy looking at himself and touching the mirror.
And another of him relaxing
Daddy and Liam chilling before we left for dinner
Liam was out like a light when we got home. He looked so cute with his full lips and holding his pacifier in his hand.
Once again we went on walk the other day. I have been wanting to take Liam down this slide along the trail but it has always been a muddy mess due to the rain. Today was different, though, and we went for it! I probably enjoyed it more than he did.
We continued our adventure around the pond and came across these cute baby ducklings
Then the momma got spooked or something, made a quacking warning signal and all the babies lined up right behind her.
Not only do the boys sit in front of the mirror while I am gone, they also play in cardboard boxes.
I wouldn't mind a package arriving with a little Liam in it :)
So what really came in this big box? A wonderful trunk from my hubby. I had mentioned a long time ago how I would love to have one to put little keep sakes in and he remembered! I love him and my angel baby :)
This week was nice because I had 4 days off in a row! The bummer is I work the next 3 nights and won't get to see my husband over the weekend. Anyway, the other day we headed to Costco to grab a few things. We came home with this box of cereal and Liam loved trying to eat the box. He was good at pushing it right off the table, too.
He's so sweet and innocent looking
I took this picture of our little guy attempting to hold his bottle. This is Chris's dream come true. This same day he also decided that he wanted to chew on everything in sight. He ended up gagging himself on his teether and threw up EVERYWHERE, and later in the evening he did the same thing with his fingers- only this time he was on my lap. He got us both pretty good, Chris jumped up to help but all I could do was laugh. Why is it that my son loves to poop and vomit on me?
It has been rainy all week long [major exaggeration -wcc], which figures because, as I always say: it is usually poopy weather on my days off. Yesterday it was BEAUTIFUL outside though, and we took full advantage of it. Chris got me this awesome picnic blanket for our anniversary (he let me open it early). It folds up nicely and you can carry it like a bag! Anyway, Liam and I decided to test it out. We went outside played and read a book. It was GREAT. I wish we had more days like this, but I guess the rain is suppose to come back by tonight :(
Here is our cool lil' man chillin' in the shade.
He was so cute, he kept trying to grab the polk-a-dots
Then he got tired of laying down so he sat in his bumbo for a while.
When Chris got home he was able to enjoy the blanket for about 10 minutes before Liam got hungry. After that we went on a walk and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I love this tree.
Then we headed around the pond and saw this Blue Heron. I know I have posted pictures of them before but today was different, because we saw him catch a fish and eat it! Unfortunately, I was slow getting the camera out and he swallowed it whole in one gulp. It was neat to see.
Next we visited the turtles. They're everywhere and there are always kids admiring them on nice days. As you can see the the turtle to the left was posing for me.
Liam loves going on walks. As usual he slept initially but woke up very happy and smiled at his daddy.
And another so you can check out his monkey toes. He is awesome!
