Lately

We've had a lot going on lately. Daniel and Liam are growing so much! Daniel has started talking a little more but he still doesn't talk a lot. He is the best at saying no and yeah. He is incredibly smart and its obvious that he understands what we say. He is such a good helper and can be so sweet. I love when he gives me hugs and kisses. He has also gotten more uncomfortable around large crowds. He is usually fearless but when we've been in large crowds he just wants to be held and he stays close when he's walking.

Dan is also starting to act a little like a baby again. He has been climbing into Liam's crib and sitting in the bumbo. I know he loves Liam but I think he still wants to be the baby. He is such a good helper though. If we ask him to go get something he is on it and if we start to do it then he runs to get it done first. He is silly and makes us laugh. He has grown attached to his teddy bear. Nothing can ever happen to this bear. The only way we can get him to leave him at home is to tell him that teddy needs a nap and then Dan will tuck him into bed :)

Liam is growing so much. He is still a really calm baby. He really only cries when he's hungry or super tired. He has a big smile and such a cute laugh. He loves to chew his fingers and is starting to grab for things. He also has started rolling over! He is really good at going from belly to back and he's almost able to go from his back to his belly.

Happy 4 months mr. magoo

My baby boy is 4 months old! I can't believe it and he just keeps getting cuter!

- Liam started rolling over. On September 10 he rolled from his belly to his back and he's been doing it ever since. He's almost able to get from his back to his belly, he can get to his side but I don't think it'll be much longer until he's got it down.

- He is still wearing 3-6 month size clothes but that big belly makes it tricky sometimes :)

- Liam loves his bumbo!

- He always has his hands in his mouth these days and is grabbing everything he can reach. He's gotten a few good clumps of hair in the past week. I'm pretty sure he is starting to get a tooth because he is drooling like crazy and chewing everything

- He loves to be swaddled and he also loves to cuddle with mommy and daddy. He also loves the hugs and kisses he gets from his big brother!

- He is almost sleeping through the night. He still gets up once but most of the time he'll sleep until between 4 and 5.

- He loves music and being sung to. His favorites are "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Give Said the Little Stream" and "Winnie the Pooh" (although Daniel sometimes gets mad when I sing the winnie the pooh song to liam when he's around because that was our song)

- He loves bath time! When he and Daniel take a bath together he doesn't take his eyes off Dan. I am pretty sure he is processing how to do everything he sees his brother do so he'll be ready. 

We love you Liam!

Utah

Last week Mike and I took a trip to Utah to find an office location and a place for us to live. Its a story for another post but we are moving to Springville, Utah. So while we were there we decided to see how many temples we could go to in Utah. We ended up going to 7 of them.

We didn't take the boys with us so we took advantage of that by going to BYU and going to a soccer game. We went to see BYU women's soccer and also to Brick Oven for pizza. They won the game!!!! We also got free game shirts!

We did our engagement pictures in Big Cottonwood Canyon so on our way home we drove through the canyon and we went back to the same place that we took our pictures but no snow this time!

We went to BYU Creamery every day we were there!! The first day we got there I called my friend Emma who is going to BYU and so we got ice cream with her. It was so much fun to catch up!

We are really excited to be going to Utah and we're hoping to have lots of success there!! Fingers crossed that everything goes well!

Happy three months Mr. Magoo

Its crazy that our little guy is already 3 months old!

Weight: 13 lbs 4 oz
Height: 25 1/4 inches

- Liam is such a relaxed and chill baby. He got his shots and didn't even cry. He really only gets upset if he is hungry, gets really hot or is super tired.  Most of the time though he is a happy baby! He does like his routine though which sometimes makes it tricky to go places because its different but we still try.  Its nice having a mellow baby to contrast the crazy toddler!

- Liam is still getting about 90% breastmilk! I'm super excited about this because with Daniel I was completely done by this point. Liam eats and eats and eats though which is why he has such a big belly :) He isn't the best at burping though so he has gas a lot.

- He loves to be held by mommy and daddy but he has to be facing out with his back to our chest. He just loves to see the world around him. He has been so alert since day 1.

- He isn't a huge fan of tummy time but I think that's just going to make him roll over because he is always trying to get out of that position.

-  Liam is so close to sleeping through the night. Right now he is only getting up once at night which is awesome! Right now he usually sleeps from 8pm until 4ish and then until between 8 and 9 on a good day.

- Liam is super observant too. He is always looking around. Sometimes I think he gets frustrated in his car seat because the cover is blocking his view so he'll calm down and be happy if we open it and just let him look around and talk to him.

- He is still a smiling baby especially when we tickle him and sing to him songs from "Little Einsteins" and he almost has the laugh down. I love when he talks back to me and we have little conversations. He also loves to do raspberries now! 

- Liam is still wearing size 1 diapers and is in 3 month clothes.
