I know I am being a little paranoid, but does anyone have advice about how to keep a baby warm in the stroller during the winter months? The next thing that is on my mind is that Liam is getting really big really fast. I am not complaining, it is just crazy. Last night he slept through the night. ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE NIGHT! It was from about 10 pm to 7 am. I am amazed. I don't know if it will keep up, but here's hoping. Also Liam is way more active now. He is now crawling. Well, kind of. He gets up on all fours, then kind of falls forward. Here is a video of it.
In addition to crawling, he just loves to move around and bounce. When I am holding him, he is never still anymore. It makes my life way more interesting and I am excited to see what he does next.
I guess the last thing one my mind, is that I never thought it would rain so much in Dallas. People have told me it usually doesn't rain as much as it has been, but seriously. In the last three weeks, I think we have had maybe 3 days that have been sunny. I guess it just makes me a little bit depressed. I am sure that the weather will get better soon.
One last thing. I don't usually blog about my feelings, but I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I have a wonderful husband that works so hard at school so that someday when he becomes a dentist he will be able to provide for his family. I have a beautiful baby boy that gives Roland and I so much happiness. It really is amazing that I can't imagine my life without out my son, Liam. He is so great. And lastly I am so grateful for the rest of our wonderful family. I feel so much support from my family in New Hampshire and Roland's family in Utah. We miss all of you so much! It is sometimes really hard to be so far from family, but I know that Dallas is where our family is supposed to be right now. So those are the things that have been on my mind. To end this long post here are some pictures of the cutest baby in the world:
I love you Liam!

I just love your little man! Hang in there with the rain Ange! Perhaps get Liam "waterized" and go outside to jump in puddles...I dunno :o) He may need some help from mommy though. Lucy is on the move now too. Make sure to baby proof your place as best as you can (light socket covers, baby gates, etc.). I need to do that this week...pronto. Running in winter months....tricky tricky. Michelle was wonder about that too. I'm trying to figure it out as well. Layering, lots of blankets, blankets under bum and around head for extra insulation...that's about all I can come up with thus far. I jimmy rigged our stroller some to make our visor come down more to keep out cold air/wind. You can always put on 2-3 pairs of socks and shoes that are too big (if he has some)so that they will fit with the socks. I think just trying to keep the hands, head, and feet as warm as possible are key. If you hear any more ideas, pass 'em along. I could use the advice as well. Way to go with the 1/2! I'm way impressed. I've been contemplating a Halloween 1/2 in Provo from Aspen ski resort to the Riverwoods. C told me about it. It's all down hill. AND....I can dress up! Wow, long comment. Sorry. Looks like we should call each other soon. Too much to talk about ;o) Love you!
that's the longest comment I've ever seen. Hey those are some sweet pics of Liam. He's getting huge! THat's pretty cool that he can get up like that, I bet he starts crawling real soon. Parks refuses to get up in crawling position, but if we hold his hands he can walk pretty good and likes going up and down the stairs. Well, we miss you guys, keep us updated.
Oh, and to keep the little dude warm, since it getting closer to Halloween, wal-mart has costumes that would zip him completely. Like a tiger or a duck
For keeping him warm, you should get a "bundle me" thing that goes around his carseat. They have some that have a hole just for the head--way cute.
Liam is so cute! My husband and I are flying into Dallas for Thanksgiving. His family lives about 3 hours east of there. I would love to see rain right now. I am jealous! It hardly ever rains in Arizona. If it does, it's only for an hour or two, but never an entire day. Take care!
Love,
Stephanie
