Lions, and Monkeys, and Boots....OH MY!!

Hello everyone!! Hope this posting finds everyone healthy and dodging all the illnesses out there!! If not we pray that everyone feels better and hope to see most of you during the holidays. Our family had a little 24 hour bug last weekend and I am glad that it is finally gone! NO MORE!!

Liam went to his first visit at our new pediatrician today. I really like the doctor and it is nice because I work with him too. It was a rough one for the little man. He received 5 vaccines and also had to have some routine lab work done and was stuck twice for that. So, 7 needle sticks later we finally made it home, and Liam was still his fun and happy self for the most part. The Dr said, "He looks very healthy and is doing VERY well developmentally." He weighed in at 23lbs 10oz (50th percentile) and 33in tall (95th percentile). He is still tall and skinny!
Liam has been talking a lot lately. Some of which is of course babble, but he has also become very good at saying some new words. His vocabulary thus far consists of....Yes, No, Hi, Mama, Dada, and Dog. The one we are still working on is "TeeToo" (thank you).

Well until next time...here are some pictures from the past few weeks!!

Splashing in the tub at Grampy and Grammy Quirks!

Look at those hair-dos!! The cousins love to play together!

This why Mari had a Monkey birthday party, and dressed as a Monkey for Halloween. She is a MONKEY!!


Just chillin' in the rocking chair! This was mommy's chair when she was little.



MY NEW FAVORITE PIC of the two kiddos!! Uncle Greg took us for some hot laps around the house!!




Mari had her own chauffeur the whole weekend. Liam loved to push her around.





Look at that studly pose! So, my parents got Liam these snow boots and he LOVES them! He brings them to me, and whines until I put them on him so he can wear them around the house. (Such a good photo for future embarrassment!)



"Ride 'em Cowboy"


"I am ready to go outside and play!!"



My sis, Greg, and Mari were in town to celebrate Mari's 1st Birthday with the family! We had so much fun and Mari went to town on her yummy cake!



Liam wasn't too fond of the fur around his face at first, but he got used to it!!


"Hey Mari, watch me...this is how you eat a wood chip!!" Love Liam. Already being such a bad influence!! Haha



Liam the Lion and Mari the Monkey. So much fun together!



Liam the Lion and Daddy watching all the Trick or Treaters walk by.




Liam and Mommy were getting over a little stomach virus, so on Halloween night we just hung out at home and handed out candy. Maybe next year it will be a little more fun for all of us!
