Getting Slack…

Sorry for not updating in a while. Everyone’s doing well. Liam has now said da da and bye bye…and has his two bottom teeth in. He’s been eating solid food for about 2 weeks now, and loves pretty much anything. He’s not rolled over from back to belly yet, but he’s getting really close and anything you hand him goes right into his mouth. He loves kisses on his cheeks, and quite frequently laughs out loud when you get them.

Avery’s doing well too – she’s starting to make simple sentences, “hey sissy”, “it’s sissy” (that’s what she calls Liam) and last night she said “nite nite quack quack” to the ducks as we were leaving the lake. She’s really blossoming into a little lady, and has to carry my purse around with her in the house. Our friend Sandi is making me a diaper bag and Avery a small purse that matches…it should be adorable. She’ll pretty much repeat everything you say now but her favorite word is still “hey”. She gets quite persistent with strangers if they don’t talk back.

Dee and I are doing good. I feel like a zombie most days – it’s tough getting up with Liam during the night and going to work the next day and being productive. I did get a sweet new Macbook pro though, so that’s making it easier to tolerate my job. We are planning a cruise for sometime next spring…we were thinking about going to Germany, but think we’ll put that off for our 10 year anniversary. As of now we’re leaning towards Bermuda…I’ve always heard that the beaches there are spectacular. And we’re still planning on going to the beach this September. I can’t wait to see how Avery reacts to the sand and water.


Apparently I wasn’t feeding him fast enough and someone had to help out…


Argh! So proud to be a pirate just like mommy and daddy!
