Happy 4th of July (cont...)

 
What a great day it was!  It was gorgeous outside and Emma got A LOT of pool time!  She just LOVES the pool and swimming!!!
We headed over to Mema and Papa's for a cook-out and to do some swimming and swimming we sure did!  Jeff and I took turns who was in with Emma.  She really only wants daddy though because he is more fun:)

Swimming in the deep end!

5 months!!!

I can't believe that Liam is already 5 months!  I know I say that every month but wow!!  It seems like forever ago we were our family of 3 in SC and it also seems like just yesterday I was holding my sweet baby boy for the first time!  Liam continues to be such an amazingly sweet baby.  He is ALWAYS happy!  The only times he fusses is when he is hungry or tired!  I can't complain about that!


Liam  looks much bigger then he is.  He is tall and has big cheeks but when we just went to the dr for his "4month" apt he was only 16lbs.
He is wearing size 3 diapers and has really started to grow out of most of his 3-6 month clothes and the 6 months.  We are now heading toward 6-12 so it means switching over the drawers and closets AGAIN! I can't believe we are already in that size!!
Liam has so far had cereal, avocado, sweet potato and apples.  Next on the list is pears (which Emma had a horrible time with).  He continues to be a fabulous sleeper.  He goes down between 5-6 (usually between 5-5:30) and gets up between 5-6 (even when he goes to bed later then that he gets up at that time).  It is usually 5:30 and then I do not get him up until 6:00 because sometimes he falls back asleep for a little bit.  When he gets up he has a bottle and some cereal before his nap and goes down for about 1.5-2.5 hours and then is up for a little bit and then takes a 2+hour nap in the afternoon.  He needs to have a paci and his doggy for bed but the paci does not stay in for long and he does not need it again during the night.
 
Liam smiles and laughs at just about anything!  Today he just sat in his chair laughing at Emma.  It was the cutest thing.  She thought it was great too!


Happy 5 Month Birthday!  
We LOVE you little Bull Dog:)

Liam's 1st swim

Last night both kids got a GREAT night sleep!  Emma slept 6:45-8:30 and Liam 4:45 until Guinness decided to go in there and shake with her collar on at 5:00!  I went to sleep at 7:30!  I guess vacation exhausted you and as the saying goes you need a vacation after a vacation!

Today was a beautiful day so we headed up to see the Goode's who Emma asked for several times everyday we were gone.  We played with them and then headed home for naps (for everyone, including me:)!!).  We all took great naps;) and then it was POOL TIME at Mema's!!  Emma was VERY excited to go swimming!!  The water was 84 so warm enough for Liam to get in.  He wasn't a fan of it but he didn't hate it either.

Liam is not so happy that everyone else is swimming and he is stuck on land!



Happy to be going swimming!

Outdoor play time!

We had a great time in Erie and Emma LOVED seeing her GAND-MA(grandma).  As soon as she woke up in the AM and from her naps she asked for "MY GAND_MA"!

Yesterday afternoon we got outside to play.  The lake was too cold to go swimming this year!
 











Maybe next year we will be able to stay for "Grand-bob's" spectacular Firework show!!

A Trip to White Turkey

While in Erie, we went to the White Turkey in Conneaut, OH


These next two pictures were taken from their website.
It is such a neat little place.
