Here is one for the baby book... Reagan and gram were drawing with sidewalk chalk this evening. Gram drew a person. Reagan got the purple chalk and said "don't worry gram, I'll draw the weiner."

The transition to preschool is... less than perfect. Reagan was so excited and the first 2 days were great. Since then, its been a little more challenging. She cries when I leave to go to work. She is getting better and doesn't cry while she is there but is still nervous during the drop off. I know it will get easier but until then we both have teary mornings!

I know she loves preschool though. We play 'cdc' all the time. She is the teacher and I am 'honey'. She reads to me, puts me to nap, and reassures me that my mommy will pick me up later.

11 months old!

Well, I guess its time to admit that Liam is not going to stay a baby forever. I was hoping he would just take his time growing up and stay my little baby boy. But I suppose that was just wishful thinking. As you can see, our little Leemy-Steamy is quickly transitioning to toddlerhood.

At 11 months:

- Liam walks everywhere. Each day he gets better and better. He is barely crawling anymore and when he falls he just gets back up to keep walking.

- Liam is obsessed with Mao cat. Aside from mama and dad, kitty is the word he says most often. He usually says " hiii keeey keeey". He loves to cuddle and pet Mao. And Mao is dumb enough to let him!

- Liam is tall! He has been in the 90th percentile all along. When he is sitting by Reagan, they really don't seem that different size wise. He is definitely going to be bigger than her before we know it.

- Liam loves to splash. He goes crazy in the bath tub and will splash in any water he sees.

- Liam loves to share drinks with you. He always wants to try whats it your cup. There are two problems: he blows raspberries on your glass and sticks his hand into it. But of course, we share anyway.

- Liam can't wait to be bigger and to play with Gee-Gee (he calls Reagan gee-gee). He loves to play with her but she gets so frustrated with him. He just doesn't quite understand the rules to tea party yet!

enjoying the outdoors

I love the weather at the end of summer. The days are still hot but the evenings are perfect. Perfect for playing outside with the family.


My twin boys! Liam is the perfect combination of Nic and Max. haha. ;)
Boone has to be wherever the action is. Of course, he wouldn't stop licking them as I tried to take a picture.

No more crawling for this boy! He is walking, everywhere and all the time. He really needs some shoes.

Daddy was pulling Reagan down the driveway in the car and then catching her at the bottom. Very fun.
