Old Home Day

Every year we go to Plaistow old home day.








This year Brian decided to run the 5k! He did a great job.













The boys decorated their car and drove it in the children's parade. The boys went in the bouncy houses and got to ride on the fire truck,










we entered Liam in the Baby contest, he didn't win but that's okay, he's the cutest 5 week old we know!

It was a fun day and we will look forward to next year!

Our first beach outing of the summer

We love the beach, in the summer you will probably find us there about once a week! Today it was so nice and all the daycare kids were gone early so we decided to head out to the beach. the boys went in the water (well Brady and Cameron not Liam) we went and saw the sand castles had some dinner and ended the night with some time at the playground. Liam was great! We got the insert for the ergo baby carrier so Erica was able to wear Liam down to the water. We're hoping the sea air will help him sleep through the night! (well we can hope can't we?)

A fun kick off to our summer, I'm sure we will be visiting there many more times!

4 weeks

Time is flying by. Liam was 4 weeks old on Wednesday June 15th. He is such a good baby and his brothers are still so enthralled with him. They are constantly asking to hold him and feed him. We go to the doctors on July 1st. I can't wait to see how much he weighs and how long he is. He still does about 3 hour stretches of sleep at night, some night we get 4 hours, but he still young and we can't complain.

2 weeks old


On Wednesday, Liam turned 2 weeks old. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Liam is such a good Baby. He is very content and is on a pretty predictable schedule. He eats pretty much every 3 hours. Nursing was very difficult in the begining and due to weight issues and Jaundice we started supplimenting with formula and I began pumping. I have started trying to do some nursing with him and he is doing well. I figure better for him to get it from me than me have to hook up to a pump. He does get formula at night because, sorry I refuse to pump in the middle of the night. I just won't do it. He actually does really well at night. We put him down for bed when we go to bed and he usually wake around 12:30 and then again at 3:30 and some days doesn't get up until anywhere between 6:30 and 7:30.
Liam is so loved by his older Brothers, they have adjusted better than We ever could have anticipated. Brady can't seem to kiss him enough and Cameron loves to talk to him and will make him "food" from his kitchen and if he's sleeping in the bouncy seat Cameron leaves his food next to him. Every night they can't go to bed until they have both given him a hug and a kiss and if they don't see him the minute they walk into a room they want to know where he is. I only have 2 more full weeks of daycare before a couple of kids leave for the summer and it will be a welcome little break, and Brian will be finishing up his school year also, while he still has to work he has much more flexability and NO night commitments.

I was so nervous when we found out we were having another child even though we planned for it, and now I know I was nervous for nothing. Liam fits right into our life and we couldn't imagine our lives without him! Our family has so much love to give that adding another family memeber was a wonderful blessing!
