We've got a kicker on our hands

Holy cannoli, Liam kicks ALL DAY LONG. If he's not kicking he holds his legs up to his chest. I kept thinking he had stomach aches...but he doesn't seem to be complaining??? Anywho, I think he'll be a swimmer, soccer player or a cyclist. Check out the videos.

Laughy Baby!

I try on a daily basis to get video of Liam laughing and smiling. But it's hard because he is usually in my lap and I can't hold the video and play with him. Even more difficult to set up the camera behind me. AND as soon as he sees the camera in his face he gets camera shy. Anyway...I finally captured a few laughs yesterday. I set the camera up on the bed, so it's not the best. ENJOY!! Isn't he the cutest!!!!!?????

and you can notice his two teeth! Yes, he's a bit early in the teeth department. I think he's ready for a steak! I noticed the two teeth coming in at about 10 weeks!

Christmas Plate

In early December my friend Jessica invited me to her friend's house to make a cute Christmas plate using Liam's little foot!

We went to this cool ceramic shop in Fort Worth that had all sorts of items you can paint then we went back to her house for a day of painting! It was so fun. Liam's first craft!!!


Mom!! This paint is cold.....


These next two pics make me laugh.


Footprint on plate. Then he looks at the camera "Please help, save me!"

The grandparents loved the final product!

Look What I Got From Santa

In other words, I did some major cooking during North Texas' ARTIC BLAST this past weekend and I'll be making tons of videos for you peeps. The Flip is so cool and so easy.

Here is our first video...of course of Liam! ;)

Recipe

I think I have posted this before...so if I did sorry for the repeat.
Super easy little soup to make...

Title: Black Bean & Salsa Soup
Description:Great soup for the winter and incredibly easy!
Ingredients:
3 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) vegetable broth.
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (11 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1 package (5 ounces) Japanese curly noodles or 5 ounces of uncooked spaghetti
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon groud cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Heat broth to boiling in 4-quart Dutch oven (big pot). Stir in remaining ingredients except cheese; reduct heat to medium.
2. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Number Of Servings:6
Preparation Time:10 minutes

I sometimes cannot find the noodles so I just buy two packages of Ramen don't use the seasoning. Don't over cook the noodles b/c they get real soggy...they cook fast.
You can also add chicken or hamburger meat. And I HATE cilantro tastes like ca-ca so I don't use it.

Cousins Meet

Carter and Liam...just chillin.

Liam's First Christmas

Things are getting back to normal...or whatever normal is for us!

I just got back from the Doctor. I have an upper respiratory infection...fancy name for a cold!

Mr. Fitz had it after Christmas and now I have it. I just hope Liam doesn't get it!

Here are a few pics from our holidays!

Christmas Eve: Mexican Food!!!!


Christmas morning. Ethan trying out Liam's Bumbo Chair!

What every baby wants for Christmas...cigars and chocolate!

Christmas Day: Lunch at my parent's house.

More new cousins to meet!

Luke (2 weeks), Carter (4 weeks) and Liam (2 1/2 months)

Of course my ten day San Antonio stay included a visit with the girls! We had an awesome brunch. Mandy (top right came all the way (with her new hubby) from London and Ang (bottom left is preggers! The rest of us brought the kiddos. It was lots of fun.

Later that night a few of us met back up to celebrate my 32nd (gulp!) birthday! Adult beverages, no kiddo and a designated drive (Mr. Fitz still owes me for the 9 months of driving his drunk ass around)! Can't beat that.

Me and my seester with the boys!

And a trip to San Antonio would not be complete without a bath with cousin Ethan and a Spurs shirt!!!
