2 Months


Our little peanut is two months old. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by and how much he is changing and growing each day! He is definitely a "Mama's boy". :) He loves getting attention and smiles and laughs all the time. His big brother, David, absolutely loves getting him to smile and laugh and even loves to sing to him when Liam is sad. He is a very sweet baby and we are loving every minute with him. He is such a blessing to our family!

I am very busy with three little boys...so when I have the time to spend with just Liam it is very precious to me. He just loves to stare at us and smile and coo. He is also starting to try to grab his toys on his playmat and even laughs at them too...we call them his little "friends." :)

He is now 12 pounds, 1 ounce and is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 75th for height (up from 25th and 50th), so he is growing well. His reflux is also so much better and he is sleeping so much better too!

We love you our Lili!

Dave's Triathlon


First, let me just tell you that I am so proud of Dave! He competed in his first triathlon this past Saturday and he did an amazing! I couldn't believe how well he did with little time to train! David and Owen were so proud of their Daddy. We were there to cheer him on the entire time and enjoyed watching him swim, bike and run. Even Owen was cheering, "Go Daddy, go Daddy!". This traithlon is for beginners and included a 1/4 mile swim, 10 mile bike, and 3 mile run. 267 people competed in this triathlon which took place at Lums Pond in Delaware.

Dave did so well that he actually placed 2nd in his weight division and won a medal! David was so excited about Dave winning, that he ran up to Dave on the podium. :)

Of course, Dave is so humble that he didn't want me to post anything about it or even tell anyone, but I told him that I absolutely couldn't help but tell everyone! :)

Great job Dave!!!

Beach Weekend


This past weekend, we headed down to Ocean City, NJ for a fun few days at the beach. The weather was beautiful and we had a blast!

David had the time of his life playing in the ocean. He could've stayed out there all day! And of course, he met some new friends. :) He loves to make new friends. Everywhere he goes, he makes a new friend.













Sweet baby boy. Liam is full of smiles now. I love it!

Owen wasn't so sure about the ocean, but boy did he LOVE playing in the sand! He would just lay in it, roll around in it, make and "cook pies". It was so cute!


David, Owen and I had fun digging holes at the water and watching the waves come and fill it up!





Both boys enjoyed filling up their buckets with water.


We had a nice time swimming at the pool at our hotel too. David is getting better and better each time he goes in the water. He is swimming under water so well and learning to keep his head above water. We can't wait until he starts official swim lessons this month.



Cotton candy on the boardwalk! And funnel cakes and ice cream...


We went to the two little amusement parks and had such fun on the rides. David and Owen both love it.

David's favorite ride was this mini-roller coaster as you can see by the look on his face! Owen loved the train ride.







We went to a little restaurant on the water and had a great view! We had some yummy seafood and watched the sunset.





Mack and Manco's...a favorite!!!
