First post, about Liam of course

Hello All!

Liam is changing every day, and what better way to share his adventures (and keep a good record of them) then by starting his own blog? Yes, it's all about Liam these days, and we're loving it.

We just got back from dropping Daddy off at the train, and the little man is sleeping soundly in his car seat at my feet. His days in the bucket seat are numbered, since as of his 4 month appointment he was almost 26 inches and the limit is 29.

We're right in the middle of a nasty heat wave which stinks. Our apartment is like a little oven, it was well over 30 degrees in here yesterday. Ugh, totally vile and unbearable, so Liam and I had to escape. We had a lovely day at the park with some friends, and then hid in his Daddy's office for the remainder of the day. Today promises to be just as hot, so after our stroller fit class this morning (should be loads of fun in this heat) we're off to San Francisco to meet some friends for a playdate in the park. I'm happy to say our new apartment has no direct sunlight so it should be pleasant year-round.

As for Liam, he is seriously the happiest little boy in the world. He LOVES other babies and when we go to playdates he just smiles and laughs when he sees his friends. I can't get over how friendly and adorable he is. I have a feeling he is going to be quite the little social butterfly when he gets older. We have such a great time when we got to the park, he loves looking at the trees and feeling the fresh breeze. Thankfully we're staying in Foster City which has loads of great parks.

He's also getting stronger and stronger each day and can now pull himself up into a sitting position when I hold his hands. The first time he did it he seemed quite pleased with himself, I'm sure thanks in part to me cheering him on which he loves. He can sit for quite a while now without falling over, I'm sure it's just a matter of weeks before he's ready for sitting in a highchair.

Tomorrow is Mike's and my 5 year anniversary, can you believe it?! If the heat sticks around we'll probably go to the beach for a picnic.

Have a great weekend!!
