How exactly does this work again?

Okay, so all my friends have started blogs, and I love going to read them and see all the pictures, so I guess I better start one too. I don't know how enjoyable this will be or if I'll even stick to doing it for very long, but I'll try!

We had a great Christmas and New Years. For Christmas we traveled to Kansas to spend the holidays with Cody's family. It was a little bit of a sad time, because Cody's Grandma had passed away the week before Christmas, but it was great to be able to see everyone, and for everyone to meet Liam that hadn't met him yet. On New Year's Eve, we had a bunch of my cousins over to our house. It was a lot of fun, and we got to see some of my cousins that I hardly ever get to see!

Yesterday was Liam's four month check up at the doctor. He had to get FIVE stupid shots, which is definitely one of the hardest things to watch as a new mom. And then the rest of the day he was pretty fussy, and that was hard, too because I just wanted to be able to do something to make him feel better, but I couldn't.

On the up side, though, we started Liam on solid foods last week. Yay! For the first few days, we just fed him baby cereal, which he loved. Then today I started feeding him some pureed squash, and his face got all squishy and he looked at me like "What exactly are you doing to me?" when he took his first bite. But he opened up for more, so it must not have been that bad! This picture is of him after he finished the cereal I made for him, and he was telling me "I want more, dangit!"


I'm so excited that it's Friday! This is the first weekend in months that we don't have any plans, and it will be fantastic! Of course, Cody will probably come up with some project for us to do, since he can't stand to sit around for a minute. Last night when I mentioned that we don't have plans, he said "I think our bedroom walls are calling to be painted." :) So we'll see what happens. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Love, Mindy
