First Smiles

Although it has happened many times in his sleep we had yet to see a Liam smile . The race was on to see who would receive the first one. Samuel was the big winner. He was entertaining Liam with a game of peek-a-boo while Liam was relaxing in the bouncy seat. I was folding laundry when I heard the giggle and quickly looked up to see the smile spread across his face. I guess if I can't have the first one this was the best alternative.

Although we have tried to catch another one for the camera he is pretty tricky. Here is the end of one! By the way this one was directed toward mom!

7 Weeks

Honestly...7 weeks! I say this both ways...at times I can't believe it has only been seven weeks and at others I feel like he has been here forever. Liam continues to eat, sleep and poop! He is weighing in at over 11 pounds now and is still really long! Liam is still the miracle sleeper. He usually is in bed around 8 and sleeps until 1 or 2. He is then up for a quick feed and back to sleep until around 5. He also takes a nice long nap in the morning and if I am lucky Samuel joins him! Here are a few pictures of the week.

Watching his first golf match. Papa and Uncle Mike would be proud!

The brothers...

Samuel checking out his ears. Liam not sure about any of this.

Samuel being his cheeky self.
Liam wondering what kind of family he was born into.

Samuel still silly.

Liam responding with "honestly mom!"

Kisses are always good.

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

Grandma and Grandpa Clark were here to visit for a week. They spent time meeting Liam and keeping Samuel occupied.

It was a busy week for Mike and I. I had new student orientation and the Fall Forward for MHGS while Mike was in his first week of teaching. It was so amazing to have them here and able to watch Samuel while we were both going crazy. Not to mention how much money we saved in babysitting costs!

Here we are on the way up to Wallace Falls.

Every once in a while Samuel would stop, sit down or lay down and say "take a break." So funny!

Grandma and Grandpa were the last of the visitors for awhile. Now onto real life with two little boys! HELP!
