Mr. Liam has been lucky... He has had his first taste of real food!
Sweet Potatoes were his first choice!
He of course LOVED them.
Check out daddy's face... tee hee.











































After being sick for a whole month...
When we finally got better we went hog wild
spending time with our friends...
We had some mad making up to do!

We played with the Gishs....














































After this Friday Evening Gabe slept like a baby!
These boys wore each other out!



Then we enjoyed a fun-filled day at the Strauser Household...
Painting and getting ready for baby Grace...

Our daddys singing and entertaining the kids!
























Yes.. boys will be boys!


















A day at home.....

Miss Ella received this tea set for her birthday and she has played and played with it!
Tea party with her babies!!!!

















Liam joined in....
























And Gabe was doing his own thing, with his favorite stuffed animals, his boo's....

















WELL visits.....
It was very refreshing to make a well visit after so many "not so well" visits.
Ella's three years and Liam's six months...
The both checked out healthy!












































And while we were there....
Little man discovered his toes could go in his mouth!!!
And I had my camera out...
So fun to catch firsts!!!!!

A BIG Thanks to all the brave souls who entered this sickly
household to make a little girls dreams come true!!!

Ella had been looking forward to her birthday party for a while and when the day arrived she was sick with high fevers.... no big deal we pushed it back to the next weekend.

The next weekend rolled around...
We were doing good....
Saturday we enjoyed two of our friends birthdays...
Saturday night when we got home miss Ella threw up everywhere!
EEK...
At first Andre and I related it to much sweets for the day....
But then it happened again!

So the next morning we let everyone know that she had been sick but she was now holding things down and that we were moving forward with the party bc this momma did not have the heart to make her wait AGAIN to have her party!

We had some awesome friends that came braving the sickness to make Miss Ella feel special!

This was the first year she was involved in telling me what she wanted for her party!!!
Pink and purple princess...
And that is what we did!

We LOVE you SIS!!!!!

Its about time.....

Mr. Liam has been more then ready but this momma has been dragging her feet...
No reasons other than he is my baby.....

We have noticed when we eat he makes eating movements with his mouth...
(i actually started feeling really guilty eating in front of him)
And daddy was the one who said "lets do it"...

And so we did and he was a PRO by the second spoonful...
Gabe and Ella did not pick it up as quickly as he did...
They also never cared for rice cereal but Mr. Liam acts like its candy!
Love this little dude and his personality...


Here he is... enjoying food!










































Mommas turn did not last long...
I had brother and sister waiting impatiently!
Sister is loving the opportunities to feed her baby brother.

















Brother had fun trying it the first night but has not dove back in....
But brother is AWESOME at holding him and making him laugh!
I love have two helpers....
Check out Ellas face in this picture... love it!
She was talking to Hunters... tee hee

















This was another night that the bowl was ripped from my hands...
She does a great job at it and she feeds him the whole bowl...


















Mr. Liam also has the rolling thing down pat!
He rolled from belly to back on January 8th....
And rolled from back to belly on January 9th....
Go buddy Go!
