Ticking along...

Things are going well and we've all settled into a routine now. Liam is much more lively during the day (although not in this picture!) and he only woke up twice last night to have some food!

I had a trip to Atlanta for about 48 hours and Annette survived just fine on her own. Fortunately my travel schedule is pretty light over the next few months so I'm generally home for dinner...which is unique for us all and great.

Colorado hiker...

Today we took Liam on his first real hike in the baby bjorn and he slept through pretty much the whole hike.

We went to Roxborough State Park (elevation 6500 feet above sea level) about 10 miles from where we live and we were surprised how much it was like "Garden of the Gods" in Colorado Springs. We'll definately be going back!

We took a lot of great pictures of the views as the rock formations are amazing. We also learned after the hike that there are black bears, elk and mountain lions in the area too (but we didn't see any)

Water bug...

Liam had his first real bath today - that is he was put into his little mini-sink tub and submerged in water (for the first few weeks we could only sponge bathe him because his belly button had to be kept dry). He was a little confused at first to the new sensation of the water, but didn't cry and seemed to enjoy himself!

He is growing FAST and seems to get 'longer' every day.

This weekend we are planning on taking him out to a few more state parks and using the baby borjn now that we know he likes it. Will be great for us to get out into the mountains and some fresh air.


Some other good news is that my brother Ian and his wife Tammy (who have 2 kids) bought a cottage in Ontario, Canada. We are already making plans for the cousins to all play on the little beach together next summary and we're really looking forward to it.
