Liam.... Buddy!

Liam gets called a lot of things, but "Buddy" and "Bruder-Bruds" are some of Ella's favorites. Sometimes it's "Buddy Liam" too. In this quick video, you can hear Ella and me calling him - it is funny to see which name gets his attention.

Sister makes me laugh

I caught Ella entertaining Liam one afternoon with some peek-a-boo, so I asked her to repeat it on film for me...

Morris men

As much as I hate to encourage Yankee fans, I did have to put Liam into this Brenner hand-me-down at least once, especially since we're into the post-season. My favorite is the second one, where the little guy looks a bit conflicted - I think we may have a Sox fan in there yet...

More Liam

Just a couple more to share...

Mr. Sunshine

Liam is loving bouncing and dancing lately. He is constantly crawling from couch to chair and pulling himself up to stand and gum the furniture. My favorite is when he lies his head down and just stares off into the distance.

Bro and sis

Though they've been getting into more conflicts lately, as Liam has become much more mobile and is very interested in grabbing Ella's toys, they still share many sweet moments each day. Here are a couple caught on film.

Yes, it's red!

Well, Liam's hair is still officially red - though I would probably say auburn or copper, but it is in the red spectrum! It really surprises people and everyone asks us where it comes from... Although it isn't predominant in either of our families, we both have red on our mothers' sides and are thrilled to see it show up in our generation.

Ellabelle

She has grown up so much in the last few months - it's incredible. From starting school to visiting the dentist to threatening to put mom into "time outs" and more, our little girl is wowing us every day with the maturity of her turns of phrase and attitudes. It is amazing how hilarious, frustrating and satisfying it can be to raise a three-year-old... Here are a couple recent pics of our Ella.

Catching up...

It's been over a month since I've taken the time to update the blog, so I think that it's finally time! Will has been able to get a few shots of me and the kids, so we'll start with those...
