Liam Pics

Napping with Lola.

Liam has recently learned to start holding his toys. This rattle was a gift from Sister Rosemary. A nun and dear friend of my Mom's. She will be visiting in April along with Sister Laura.

My two favorite guys watching the Inauguration.

Just getting back from a trip and playing with his "mini me" :)

Bath Time, he looks like a baby girl here dont ya think? :)

Whats going on?

Not much actually. Bill is in Atlanta, doing his annual recurrent training. He will be home tonight. I am absolutely loving only working two days a week now. Can't tell you how much it means to be to be able to spend so much time with Liam at home. Liam is growing like a weed. I've never seen a happier baby. He wakes up, he's smiling. He goes to sleep, he's smiling. He's eating (I kid u not), he's smiling. You may not think so, but right in the middle of eating (or drinking I should say) he sometimes pauses to smile at me. So cute! My mom told me yesterday he's the happiest baby she's ever seen. She said the reason he's such a happy baby is because he is so loved. It made sense, and I believe her. Bill has recently submitted a bid to fly the bigger Jet that ASA has in their fleet. It looks identical to the one he flies now, only larger. It is a CRJ-700. We are waiting to see if it was awarded to him or not. Should find out any day now. I have a few more photos to post from my phone but for some reason they are not transferring over to my email properly. O well, I will try to get them up soon.

Here Ya Go Tita Ria. Liam Pics. :)

Bill put his glasses on Liam. Too funny.

He's like "mom, please stop making look like a fool" :)

Lola put Liam in her pile of laundry that needed folded. He liked it, he was laughing.

Game day. Go Gators!

GO GATORS!!

Two National Championship titles in the last three years,,,,,, pretty impressive!

Long time no post?

Yeah, It's been a while. Bill has had a very busy month so far, and it's only the 9th. I have also had a very busy month being a mommy. Liam is growing like a weed and now weighs almost 16 lbs! What a big boy. He recently discovered how fun it is to chew on his hands, he enjoys it to the point of gaging himself. Sounds fun huh? Poor thing doesn't know when to stop. I think he must be going thru a 12 week growth spurt right now. For the last two days he has been eating every2-3 hrs. He normally goes 4 hrs between feedings. The "book" says this is normal and temporary. We'll see. Let's see. What else? My dad is doing better and better every day. I can't tell you the feeling we all get when we hear him say a new word or sentence that he hasn't been able to say since his stroke in November. He is speaking full sentences at times and actually holding small conversations. He will continue his speech therapy for now. He's come a long way. Thank you to all who have prayed for him. It's been proven that prayer works. That's it for now. Till next time!

Past Due, Pics from Christmas Day

I know I'm a little late, but at least I'm trying to get caught up here. These pics are from Chrsitmas day at Bill's dad and Debbie's house. We literally took 362 pics that I really did not have enought time to do thru all of them. That's why It's taken me so long to post anyway, I didnt know where to begin. So, here are a few to start with.


What's Christmas day without a little Rockband huh?

The third and final celebration of the day. What a busy day that was. Fun, but very busy. First we watched Matthew open all his presents from from Santa and his mom and Dad. Then when Bill's brother Tom came over, we did Christmas again with him. Then Debbie's mom and sister and their families came over and we did Christmas again. Whew!

Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Thanks for all our great gifts! :)

Bill Sr. and his boys,
and one of his girls Troon.

Ok, that's it for now. I still have pics to come of our visit with one of Bill's dear friends David and Kelly and some to come of our Yankee Christmas with the Smith/Santos families, what a flippin riot that was. I am seriously laughing at the thought!!

Christmas Eve at The Adam's House in St. Augustine

We got into St. Augustine at around 7:30 Christmas Eve. The drive was perfect, no traffic and Liam barely made a peep. It tooks us 4 hrs and 45 minutes. Here are some pictures from Christmas eve with Bill's Dad and Debbie and his little brother Matthew.

Liam with Pa.

Liam and DeDe.

Uncle Matt and Liam

Troon wanted to be gift wrapped. Yes, I did it and no, I didn't keep it on her very long. She didnt seem to mind it at all. :)

Pretty Tree. BIG tree.

Mr. Nutcracker.

Ok, I must explain. This year Debbie started doing something new. She started doing " The Elf on the Shelf". It comes with a book eplaining the story and it also comes with Tim the Elf. Each night after Matt goes to bed, Debbie hides the elf somewhere in the house. When Matt Wakes up he finds the elf. THe elf "watches" you and reports back to Santa whether you've been naughty or nice.

This is where Tim the Elf was when we got here Christmas Eve. In the kitchen way up top on the cabinets.

And this is where Tim was when we woke the next morning. In Liams bouncy seat.

So, every year, on Christmas Eve, Matt fixes a plate for Santa and all the reindeer. Two cookies and a beer for Santa and a carrot for each of the reindeer. Here Matt is getting Santa's plate ready.

All ready to go!

Now, the waiting begins, hope Santa's here soon.

Bill wand Liam wanted a picture too.

Guess who knocked Santa's plate over? Yup! Bill! Good going honey! :)

All our stocking hung by the chimney with care. Liam's was added this year. Thanks Debbie! :)

Mother "bleep, bleep bleep" his words, not mine! He said his hands were too big to put together Willow's toys that had such tiny parts.

Guess he got them all put together cause Willow looks pretty happy!~ :)

Tita Jen and Uncle B.

Well, two down and two to go. We did our Christmas with the Pettignano's last week (Bill's mom and Bob) and since my sister and I will be with Bill and Brandon's family on Christmas Day we decided to do dinner and some presents tonight with the Smith Family. Jen and I will be traveling with Brandon and Bill Christmas eve, then when we get back we will do another Christmas (a yankee Christmas) with our WHOLE family at mom's on Saturday night. More to come on that one later. For now, here are some pics from Tuesday night at mom and dad's.

When I have to work, Bill sends me pictures so I can see Liam. Here are a couple.

This one is from today. I wanna just "eat him up"!!!

And this one is from yesterday, learning tummy time. No, he was not left unattended sleeping like this. :)

Santa Liam

Liam wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Liam's Baptism

What a special day! Liam's baptism was today and he officially became the newest member of our church. He didn't even cry when the holy water was poured over his head. My family went out for lunch after church to celebrate. Thank you everyone, especially Jen and Brandon for being Liam's Godparents! It means to much to us.

Liam's tasting Grandma Mary's cinnamon rolls

When Bill and I were in Atlanta last week we had some of his mom's homemade cinnamon rolls. I dipped my finger in some of the brown sugar/cinnamon syrup on my plate and put it on Liam's lips. His reaction was cute!

I got tagged!

Here is my photo Jen. It's of Lucy sitting in her chair on the back deck. Looks like Case is in the background hunting for something in the cedar tree. Wish it were a little more exciting than this,, sorry! :)
