2 months and weekend adventures


Wow, time has flown! Liam is now 2 months old. We had his check-up this morning and he's grown over 3 inches and now weighs 11 lbs. He also had his first shots today and did not like them, poor little guy. It made mommy very sad, but he was a great trooper and soon fell asleep and is recovering well (he's forgotten, mommy hasn't).

Happier adventures took place this weekend. On Saturday, we got to see our good friends Dave and Anna get married in a beautiful "Bogus" wedding. (And with a last name like Bogus, there is a lifetime of Bogus jokes ahead :-) Anna was beautiful, Dave temporarily misplaced the ring, Mike was dashing and tall, Graeme slept at home watched by Grandma Hale, Liam slept in his pouch through the reception and we simply had a grand time. The only sad part is that now being a mom of two and the crazy t-storms that were hitting when we left for the wedding, I have no pictures to post.

On Sunday, Graeme again got up insanely early (been doing this on and off for a couple of weeks now and a large part of why I've been too tired to post much lately). Mike and I took turns with the kids and sleeping that morning. In the afternoon, we decided to trek out to the movies and see Despicable Me.

We were hopeful of our movie experience as we took the kids to see Toy Story 3 in 3-D a few weeks ago and Graeme did amazingly well. He sat through the whole thing in Mike's lap and even wore the glasses the whole time. Yesterday was a little different. Graeme kept trying to look over the seats in front of us, played hop-scotch between his seat and Mike's. Mike finally took him down to the aisle on the edge of the theater and they went up and down the aisle. Needless to say Mike missed a few things. As with Toy Story, Liam had a bottle and slept through it mostly.

I'm also very excited to say that another recent adventure has been that I have finally started painting the walls in Liam's room. I hope to get it completed (at least the painting) in the next week and then get the mural painted.

Now, I'm off to chase Graeme while Liam sleeps (he's been trying to close my laptop so I know he needs some mommy play time :-)
