We're Here!!

With Miss Lisa from Virginia

With my friend's son Dylan

Hello!

We're still here! It has been a busy 3 weeks since we moved, but we are all doing pretty well. First off, we are so thrilled to be in our new place. It has been great and fun to make this really a home. Liam is still in our room right now (because it is easier on me in the middle of the night!) but may be transitioning to his room soon. We'll see. We are almost unpacked, and amazingly, we have filled this place. Brian loves his office and would spend most of his days there if possible. It is a pretty calming room. On another note, Brian has been accepted to staff to work for our church full time. He is leaving his job in May and we will begin the process of raising support to be missionaries here in LA. We are excited to be on this path with God.

Well...so what is new with Liam? Lots. On a positive note, he is starting to look a bit older, with a few more hairs on top of his head. Also, he can roll over from his tummy to his back. He is getting more dexterity and hand-eye coordination. He can even put his pacifier in his mouth, of course after a few times of it in backwards. He loves playing with things and is very interested in the world around him. On a somewhat different note, he has been really fussy. I am starting to think this is somewhat of a temperment thing. I did change my diet per the pediatrician after visiting the doctor last Wednesday again with no illness found to exclude caffeine, dairy, and nuts for 2 weeks. I think it may have made a little difference. Hard to say though. No coffee in the morning is difficult, especially after awakenings totalling 6 one night last week. He is down to about 3 right now, but of course, each night is different. I am glad he at least isn't sick.

Two weeks ago Brian's aunt Celeste visited us after attending a local retreat. We loved having her and enjoyed the chance to hang out and introduce Liam to a great aunt! Also, on Monday, my friend Lisa came and visited with her mother. She was a mentor to me growing up and it was really fun introducing her to my little boy! We had fun and she had good advice for me. They even took me out to a stress free lunch! Thanks ladies!

Well, I could write much more for updating, but let's face it, all you really want to see are pictures! So enjoy the new pics and video.
