Summer Summer Summer TIME!!!

The weather has been A-MAZE-ING the past few weeks. I can't remember the last time I had a tan before June! How can a little color on your skin boost your mood so much? I am definitely loving not going into the office everyday and taking advantage of our neighborhood pool. (which Liam also enjoys!!!) We are enjoying the mid-morning trips to the pool before it gets too warm and all the kids get home from school. Next trip I will take a picture of the little guy in his cute little swim outfit.

Liam updates....He turned 5 months yesterday. I can't believe it! We made a last minute appointment this week for what I thought might be an ear infection. Ends up the little guy is teething and apparently their ears can bother them while teething. Good. To. Know. He weighed in at 17 pounds. He was 16.12 at his 4 months so he is still gaining weight but is starting to thin out. Don't worry...he is still chubby. He still loves to eat. I am grateful for a functioning body that can keep up with him.

We are most excited about his new found love for sleeping. He has NEVER been a napper. He never slept (during the day) even as an infant! It was exhausting! He would sleep pretty good at night on and off. 7 hours some nights. 3 hours the next. It was different every week. Anyways... He is now sleeping through the night. 7:45 to 7:00!!! I wake up at 7 and think "Did I wake up with him and just don't remember?" And taking three naps during the day! Sometimes he will even sleep for two hours! This is a big deal around here! He would usually only sleep for 30 minutes at a time. If that! Can you tell I'm excited? I know I know.... things can change back to the way they use to be in a blink of an eye but at least we know he can do it!

That is all the excitement in our house right now. We are grateful for sleep. Thank you Liam!

Here is a picture of Liam "napping". I forgot to take out his crib toy and took this picture before he noticed me.

Liam's First Hike

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather last weekend and went on a hike up to Latourell Falls. It is actually where Matt proposed to me but we had never hiked up. (Didn't make it too far after the proposal)
If you actually hike up past the top of the Latourell there is another waterfall that I think is even better. We had a great time and the only thing we lost over the edge were my sunglasses!

Standing where Matt proposed

As you can see, Liam really enjoyed the hike.

What we've been up to...

Apparently people are waiting for an updated post. Our lives have been busy lately! Between Liam, work, church and being sick for WAY too long I never find time to update our blog. Here is what we have been up to...Probably more information than some wanted/needed to know. But we're alive and sleepless in Oregon!

First baseball game

Liam went to his first baseball game on Friday. I am pretty sure he loved it :) And I love these pictures.

4 months

Our little guy is 4 months old! He is learning and doing new things daily. It is a struggle to change his diaper without him rolling over, trying to grab his feet or trying to attack the bag of wipes. He is a busy little guy who doesn't like naps and wants to be in on the action for just about everything. He wears us out but we wouldn't want it any other way. (Although sleep would be nice!)

First time meeting Elle and Drew

Where's your sock Kate?

Isaac LOVES Uncle Matt! And that Baby Liam is "Chubby"

Bumbo love... 3/29/09

Story time in the bumbo.....(when he could fit comfortably)

Liam's first roadtrip

Liam had his first trip to visit Nana and Papa Sautter in the Tri-Cities. He did great in the car and had a great time playing and cuddling with Nana. She even showed him how to suck his thumb!
