our 4 year anniversary

i got kurt this cute little baby.... i couldn't resist!

A visit with GREAT Grandpa!

Liam and Great Grandpa William Finkenbrink (he is 101 years old) I think Liam kind of looks like him, they had a GREAT visit!

Farewell to Paul Newman - Liam's first movie

Sadly, this week actor and philanthropist Paul Newman died at the age of 83. In remembrance, Kurt and I decided to take Liam to his first outdoor movie at Malibu Family Wines. They were playing "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid".

All ready to go to the movie!

Some very blurry screen shots.

"Next time I say lets go someplace like Boliva, LETS GO SOMEPLACE LIKE BOLIVIA!"

For Liam's very FIRST MOVIE outing, he did wonderfully, and slept through most of it. Not bad for just 6 weeks old! It was the very first cool night that we have had in months, and even though there was a slight chill in the air (61 degrees in Malibu) we all bundled up, and it felt great to be outside.

6 weeks old!

Has it been 6 weeks already? I now know what moms and dads say when they say "it goes by so fast" ... and its only been 6 weeks! But these 6 weeks have gone by SO FAST.

Liam is such a good boy, very mellow for the most part, BUT... we had a rough weekend - we think he hit what they call a "six week growth spurt". He wanted to eat almost every single hour...talk about exhausting. The picture below is pretty much what he looked like for almost 3 days. The good news is, he has pulled through, and is back to his regular "happy baby" status! (see video at the end of the post to see!)

Our grumpy boy.

Just being cute.

First time at church, he did great and made it through the whole service, and even met pastor Steve Day (the pastor that married Kurt and I)


The doggie-sitter


I love you hiccup boy!

Hiiiii Liam!!!

Turn on your speakers and watch!
So cute - almost seems like he is saying "HIIIIIIII" back to me!

All the kids go for a walk. (Hmmm looks like we even coordinated our outfits!)

A visit from "uncle Money" (Liam is waving because he is so excited - G$ is a rockstar!)

"You talkin to me!?!"

A nice visit from Elaine and Grammy M

The photo below is from Liam's first week home, but we forgot to post it (oops - sorry!)
A visit from Ron and Elaine (the NEWLYWEDS!)

90th Percentile!

Big Boy!

We went for Liam's one month Dr. Appt. today with Dr. Bromberg - who was AWESOME! (Thanks Henny for the referral!)
Liam weighed in at 11lbs 1 oz, and measured almost 23 inches. That puts him in the 90th percentile in both length and weight. Thats our BIG boy!! Overall the Dr. reports that he is "thriving" - which is great news to a new mom and dad! Dr. said that we should be doing "tummy time" a couple of times a day. And when he put Liam on his tummy, he already is holding his head up - Dr. B said that he had the head control of a 3 month old! (Go Liam!)
He got his Hepatitis B vaccine today as well.

The weather here is finally cooling down a little bit..should be in the 80's over the weekend, so we are hoping to get outside and do something fun!

Below are some pics from this week :)

My Great Grandma made me this awesome blanket!
