Bill and Liam

A new hobby?

Bill's mom got us the Beaba Baby cook before Liam was born so we could experiment with making our own baby food for him. I finally for a chance to try it now that Liam is old enough for solid foods. So, I made all organice fruits and veggies for him. Bananas, carotts, apples, peas, and seeet potatoes. It took three hours to make about 24 jars. It was very easy, just time consuming.

I could not help myself

Liam, please know that I love you very much and in twenty years when you see this photo,, promise me you will not hate me okay? :)

Seaside Getaway

Bill is on vacation this week and we have had reservations at the Mirage in Las Vegas since early January. We decided the night we were supposed to leave that we weren't quite ready to leave Liam behind. Although he would have been in very good hands with my mom, we weren't convinced it would be the best thing at this point. So, on Monday night we booked us a little Bungalow in Seaside and drove over on Tuesday. We only spent one night but we really enjoyed ourselves and it felt great having Liam with us too. Seaside is only about a 45 minute drive and for those of you who are familiar with the quaint little town know how beautiful and relaxing it is to be there. From what we've heard it has become a favorite vacation spot for Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. No sightings of the lovebirds though. Thanks Bill for the getaway. It sure was nice. :)

This was our little bungalow for the night. With it being Spring Break, cottage rental prices were unbeleivably expensive. For a small fortune you can rent a beachfront cottage. We opted for a little bungalow adjacent from the Gulf. Tiny but cute. Perfect for the night.

The porch. We stayed pretty busy so we didn't even get a chance to sit out and enjoy it.

When you check it you get a free bottle of wine (red or white) and they gave me a bottle of water with a cute beachbag and wine opener.

This was our lunch spot after we got checked in. Our bungalow was ready when we got there so luckily they let us check in early and we went straight to lunch. This place has the best gouda grits ever! Yum yum!

Bill's nice cold Stella Artois.

Mommy and Liam.

It you've evern been to Seaside or seen pictures, I am sure you have seen one of the many beachside pavillions. This is one. They are so pretty.

This is the deck to the Shrimp Shack. What a pretty spot to have lunch.

So cute! I was worried that Liam was going to get sunburned so I lathered him in baby aveno 50 sunblock and since it was really chilly and windy I also had him covered in a light blanket most of the day. We took his blanket off to get a few pics.

These oversized chairs were really fun. They almost swallow you when you sit in them.The water was so rough. They were flying red flags because it was so windy.

Guess how much it costs to rent one of thise beachfront homes? They are in Seaside as well and the avg nightly rental is about 1500. Yes a night, not a week.

Cali the cat. She lives at Perspicacity. A very cute open air boutique.

Dawson's has the best homemade fudge I have ever eaten. My favorite (from three selections) was the chocolate raspberry and the chewy praline came in a very close second.

Getting ready to check out and head back home. We got a pretty good work out carrying Liam around in his carrier for two days. He's almost twenty lbs and my legs were sore at the end of the day.

Can't wait to go back. Bill and I said we might have to make it an annual tradition and take Liam over there. Even if it's for one night it's still so nice.

He's getting so big!! :(

When my sister saw Liam yesterday she said "No! Oh my goodness, he looks like a little man". It's true. He's getting so big. Where has my little baby gone?

Happy Anniversary Billy!

Bill and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary earlier this month. I was looking through some of our wedding photos and wanted to post a few. Happy Anniversary Bill, It really seems like yesterday that we were married. Now here we are 4 years later with little Liam! :) I love you!

Photo to Brighten my day

As many of you know, since Liam was born I only work part time. Mondays and Fridays. My mom keeps Liam on Mondays and Bill bids Fridays off so he can watch Liam. Bill often sends me pictures of Liam when I work so I can see him. Here is one from today. Thanks Billy. :)

Someone got a new hat and I think he likes it! :)

Bill and I took Liam out to the new Red Robin at Pier Park yesterday and went walking around all the shops afterwards. Liam has been needing a new hat with all this sun we've been getting so we found one. We weren't really sure how he would like wearing it, but as you can see, he didn't mind at all!

I have now learned my reason for being a mommy. I tell him all the time that he's my sunshine and it's so true! He melts my heart!

Thanks Daddy for my new hat. :)

HI All!!
