Snow Storm

Hi Everyone,
I'm here in Pennsylvania right now visiting my grandparents and I got to see my first snowfall! Very exciting indeed. I really didn't get to roll around in the snow at all, but I got to feel the flakes on my cheeks, so that was good enough for me. I even had a hand in building a snowman. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Can you spot me in this winter wonderland?? This is better than Where's Waldo?

Here I am in the backpack again... it was just easier and less messy this way.

I don't look too happy in these, but I assure you my heart was soaring. (My naptime was past due, that's all).

See, all smiles here. Check out our snow dude. He's the same height as Lila.

Little charmer

What animal has the worst manners?

A Kanga-RUDE! HAHAHA!!!

Ok.. that wasn't my best work, but I'm only 9 1/2 months... give me SOME credit. My first Halloween has come and gone, and let me tell you, it's only fun when you get to eat candy. I mean, really... How many times do I have to get shoved into this ridiculous kangaroo suit with a smile on my face before I get a reese's peanut butter cup... or at least some smarties (NO ONE wants smarties!!) And whose idea was it to dress me up like my sister? We (her majesty and I) have a secret pact that that is never going to happen again. I'm going as Robocop next year. Enough of this cutesty stuff, ok? I must admit though.. I am a pretty cute marsupial. Here are some pictures of me and me joey.

WATCH OUT WORLD -- I'M CRAWLING!!

That's right everyone... I have officially graduated to the world of the moving. I guess you could call me 'upwardly mobile'. My mom has her hands full making sure 1. Lila does not attack me and 2. That I don't get into things that I shouldn't. Anyway, here are some pics from the last couple of months. My publisher has been on hiatus.

Beach Blanket Bingo!!!!

So my first trip to the beach was a smashing success... the weather was perfect,,, but boy is that New England water c-c-c-c-cold. (Brrrr!) Here are some pictures.

I'm one cute little Beach Bum!

Surf Dude!

Hang Ten!

I've got such Happy Feet!

ZZZZZZZZZZ! What a long day.

liam, (not so) per diem

Ok everyone,,, so sorry that I have been incommunicado for the last couple of weeks... but I assure you I have been busy. First of all,, HAPPY 6month Birthday to me!! I went to the doctor today and found out my stats... 17 lbs and 27 inches long (time to move to the big boy carseat) plus my head circumference totally skyrocketed... but you all already know I have a 'big' head.

I got some teeth... two of them, right on the bottom in the middle. I think some are starting to poke out of the top too. Pretty soon I will be eating crunchy things along with everyone else. Here are some pictures of me enjoying the summer.

PS. Note this correction: Lua is NOT a chemistry teacher, but rather a FABULOUS Physics teacher. (I am obviously not old enough to know the difference)

Just hangin' out (Daddy got a new hammock for father's day)

Family outing... (can you blame me for falling asleep.. I mean, c'mon, how many trees can you look at in one afternoon?)

Lila and I sharing a little moment together. What a good big sister!

This is my friend Lua... the best physics teacher this side of the Hudson. Here we are after a nice meal at the Cheesecake Factory. I'm trying out my 'bad boy' image.

Pennsylvania

Last week, I went on trip to Pennsylvania. That's where my grandparents live. My mommy had to go there for a wedding, so we got to see her good friend Gretchen and her son Stefan who were visiting from North Carolina.

Here I am... the Center of Attention. I'm smiling even though I am the only one who did not get any ice cream. What a guy!

Mommy's little buttercup... or should I say, butterball???

Tag, you're it

So I am about to do something really 'bloggy'... My friend Abby has tagged me. Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves, and then tags 7 people to do the same. I don't even know how to count to 7, nor do I know seven people, but I will tag my sister, considering her personality is equal to that of seven people. Here goes:

1. I was born with my umbilical cord around my neck. (very dramatic)
2. My hair is growing in blondish.
3. I snore.... LOUDLY!!!!!
4. My toenails seem to grow faster than my fingernails.
5. I am secretly keeping track of every indiscretion my sister makes against me so that I can get her back one day... I mean I know they say I shouldn't take things lying down... but basically that's all I CAN do at this point.
6. My new favorite song is 'Wake up Call' from the They Might Be Giants Cd (No!) Every time it comes on I giggle!
7. I don't mind it when I have to wear one of my sister's pink bibs when all of mine are in the wash... I am comfortable with my masculinity.

Who's Cuter?

Lila

or

ME!!!!

*Ok, to be fair, although this photo is taken in the same swing, Lila is a couple of months younger than me in this picture and it is not the most flattering of her. Notwithstanding, I am still the obvious choice.

A space of my own

My passport shot

Hello everyone. My name is Liam.... You may have known me through my older sister Lila, who has graciously offered to introduce me to the world through her blog Lila-saurus Rex. Nice as that may have been, now that I have begun to develop my own 'voice', I am going it alone. (I also feel I wasn't getting enough air time... Lila tends to think she is pretty darned cute... but folks.. you ain't seen nothing yet.)

My stats:

Born: Jan. 17th 2007
Age: 4 1/2 months
Weight: ~15 pounds
Likes: eating, sleeping, long walks on the beach, eating
Dislikes: wet diapers, teething, when my mom does not carry me all the time
Latest tricks: as of last Saturday I rolled over!!! I drool a lot.. I am cutting my first tooth. I like to smile and giggle and am very ticklish.
Favorite toy: My sister has not allowed me to have one, because everything I take an interest in... she grabs from me... (probably just going through one of those "stages" they talk about)

Keep checking back for more updates... I will try to post as much as possible, but it's kind of challenging when I can't even sit up yet. I'll do my best. Peace out!
