Summer. Zoom.

What do I remember about this summer?

L's birthday, with ducky cupcakes and his tiniest of pimp hats;

D & K's summer vacay, complete with Lizard rabies, Cookie Monster and Supernatural obsessions and don't forget *bwah*.

Seaworld and San Diego with the sneaky sunburns, B winning a giant Shamu, me biffing it in the hottub (to the delight of my wicked daughter) and D's Leopluradon sand sculpture .

Charlie the Unicorn quotes, and sugary junk food...both in large quantities.

Not much summer left, and I hope it slows down a bit, except maybe for the temps dropping. THAT can happen any time now!

First Haircut... Gulp!

Liam did so well! He cried and HATED the trimmer alot. Then he threw up a bit... but other than that he did AWESOME!

The Little Chops Salon is terrif, they have a Thomas track, race car chairs and a tv at each station (we watched Barney). I was so concerned with pictures that I totally forgot about getting a lock of hair. Luckily, they not only gave me a lock in an envelope for his baby book they also gave us a cute little certificate with a place for a picture. I am framing it and putting it in his room, until he insists I take it down. Or, as Dad says, he knocks it down!

Super Swim Lessons!

Wow, what a great time we have at swim lessons! Liam just loves all his little friends, the water and the ordered chaos that rules the pool.

He is so comfortable in the water, once the he gets used to the water. He has no problem getting his face wet, he kicks, blows bubbles and LOVES to "jump" off the side!

He'll be swimming by his first birthday... well, maybe that's wishful thinking, teehee :)

Missed a few holidays...

Happy Valentine's Day!

This past week has not been fun. One would think a week off work would be great. That One would be wrong in this case.

The Good: L can't get enough of me, thinks I'm the greatest. He got another little toothy, and learned to dance. His babbling is getting quite sophisticated. He's discovered objects that are covered with a burp cloth are still under there (!) and thinks it is the funniest thing ever, followed closely by that old favorite Peek-a-Boo.

The Bad: L forgot how to sleep through the night. So, I don't sleep through the night, not good for the Hashi's! He also projectile vomited without known cause one night, just the one, lots of fun. I am in pain but he's usually in a great mood, as long as I don't make him sleep in his crib by his lonesome.

The Ugly: Baby spit up; epic-icky diapers. No time for a shower for me and a sick husband. 'Nuff said.

7-month-olds have a lot going on. Teeth coming in, getting mobile and body part discovery just to name a few. I wish I was more like him; too excited to sleep because I wanted to practice my Peek-a-Boo. It sure is hard to insist that the littlest love of my life go back to sleep when all he wants is to give me hugs and kisses!

I share the xoxo's with everyone who loves us and everyone we love:)

2010- I'm ready for you;D

Here I go with the resolutions again:

1.) Lose weight, at least 30 pounds.

* This will be hard b/c of the Hashimoto's Disease. And the fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. And the Whoppers. And Skittles.

Crap. Now I'm Hungry.

2.) Be more social.

*Facebook doesn't count. Except if the friends live out of state. Or if I am in a lot of pain that day. Or if it's really cold. Or hot.

This is why all my friends live in the laptop.

3.) Work on my personal relationship with Heavenly Father.

No jokes with this one, it's the only one that matters, everything else will fall into place when this does, I should think.

I didn't do too bad last year; all I wanted was to have a healthy baby, a closer relationship with my family and to lose 70 pounds after L was born. I did all those things.

Except the weight deal but I lost 40 and that is a good start. Sure, 10 of it was Liam, but I wouldn't have gained it in the first place if it wasn't for the years of fertility treatments, wellllll... and all the junk food I mentioned above.

I'm pretty happy though. Life is good.
