Liam's first Christmas

The flu! Everyone got the flu for Christmas!  We went to Idaho the week of Christmas and the flu spread through the house!  I was so sad that for Liam's first Christmas he was sick!  I guess I am the one to blame since I got it first.  Scott got it the next day, then Alexa, then Ashli, then Liam and Trev.  Liam has never really been sick before so it was extra sad.  He would just lay in Scott's arms and whimper with the saddest look on his face.  He was so cuddly and he never wants cuddles!  I slept in a bed with him Christmas Eve because it was breaking my heart!
He tried to be happy Christmas Day, but he just couldn't.  The day was full of a few smiles and lots of naps.
We went to Logan the next day to spend time with my fam.  On Sunday, everyone except Amber and Trevor were there and it was a mad house!  10 adults, 7 kids, and 1 dog make for a busy house!  I'm glad we were able to be together!

Home Sweet Home

The last time I posted we were house hunting.  Well, we found a house! 

And have been so busy because of it!  I loved how it happened.  Trev and I were meeting up with our real estate agent, Sophie-who, by the way, is totally awesome!-I thought we were going to look at a house we had seen for the second time, but Trev pulled up to a new house.  It was for sale by owner, and Trev found it on his own and surprised me by setting up an appointment.  We both loved it after walking through it.  It has an open layout, is in a nice neighborhood, and has a pretty view from the backyard.  The closing went smoothly and we are now home owners!
The Robertson family had 10 kids!  So, we put in new carpet and painted the whole house!  We have been rather busy, but I love it. 





Liam is growing so fast! Too fast! At 6 months he was still learning how to sit up on his own.  Now, at 9 months, he is pulling himself up to a stand anywhere and everywhere he can.  He makes me laugh everyday with his silly personality.  My favorite thing is when he mimics us with his fake coughs, fake laughs, and blowing his tongue.  He also "dances" to music by waving his arms up and down. 


For Thanksgiving this year we went to Texas to visit Eric and Isabel!  They moved to San Antonio for Eric's Master program at Trinity University.  The whole fam drove, but Liam and I flew.  I was a little nervous to fly with him because he is at the stage where he hates to sit still and is curious about everything.  The flight there was tough.  He was tired and hungry.  The plane was small and the lady next to me wasn't happy about sitting next to a baby.  She also had some shiny bracelets that Liam kept lunging for.  She didn't think it was funny.  I wrestled him for most the plane ride trying to keep him on my lap and happy.  He finally zonked out for the last 40 minutes and didn't want to wake up when we landed.

In San Antonio, we went to a Spurs game, walked the River Walk, and visited Austin.
