LEAVE IT TO LIDDELLS

Viva La Mexico!!!

Chris and I went to Playa Del Carmen for 5 days at the beginning of March with his team from work! It was fabulous to get away but it was so hard being away from Graham -Bam for the first time! He had a great time having sleepovers with Dru and Diane & J and the girls! My heart ached for him but we were well distracted!!!

Standing on top of the only Pyramid that you can still climb! The view was amazing!

Climbing the ruins! It was so steep and rugged!

Climbing up was fun until Erin told me not to look down, so of course I did!

Coming down was the scary part! One wrong step and it is a hard landing!

We rented bikes and rode to the Pyramids! The pedal on my bike was barely hanging on and the brakes were backwards, hysterical! It was a beautiful ride through the jungle.

My Mom is Famous!

My 2 favorite bike partners were featured in the Ogden Standard Examiner! This would only happen to Dru & Cookie! Anytime I am invited on their adventures we always meet the most interesting people who instantly become their best friends! They are classic! Thank you Standard Examiner for capturing these two in action!

Rockin' Robin and Cousins!

Graham is wearing the beautiful hand-knit Robin sweater and hat that my gorgeous Aunt Mary designed and knit for him! She is so creative and so generous! Thanks Mimi!

His face in this picture totally kills me!

Uncle Brocky and Graham! Graham is rivaling Brock as the biggest baby in the family! We were comparing baby pics and I think Brock still might have the title! Hopefully he ends up as handsome as Brock!

I am not sure why this pic is so small... Jenny, Nate, Liam and Owen came in town over Valentines! It was so fun to have them here! Please com back soon! In the pic: Lindsay & Ethan, Jenny & Owen, Me & Graham!

Graham enjoying delicious bananas! His huge eyes in this picture explains it all!
HE LOVES TO EAT!

Completely satisfied with a smile!

Owen 13 month, Graham 5 months, Ethan 3 months

Ethan is tickling Graham under the arm!

Graham and Owen were being pulled in the wagon by Liam! Owen was sitting on Graham because he G-Unit out weighs him by a few!!!

Happy Valentines From the 5 month old!

Graham turned 5 months yesterday! I know this is a cliche but I want to freeze him at this age! He is fun, engaging and stationary! His passions are his feet & hands, playing in his command center, cell phones, remotes, watching TV and being NAKED! He is such a man child!!! He keeps us entertained all day long!

Workin' the Command Center!

He LOVES belly rubs from JoJo!

Grandma Corrine and Papa Tom showered Graham with gifts for his first Valentines! Corrine is the Queen of Holidays! She always makes celebrating and decorating for Holidays so much fun! Thank you! XOXO

Shocked by all his fun gifts ... Or just wanting to get his mouth on all of it!

My little Valentine is his gift basket!

Off-the-Charts and Climbing...

Graham has officially exceeded my expectations again! At his 4 month appointment he was undressed to his diaper and put on the scale. The scale kept climbing until it hit 19 lbs, which is off the chart! He is almost off the chart for his height and head size too! I was pleasantly surprised that he will be able to use his infant car seat for 3 more lbs! Unfortunately he is now fitting into all of his summer clothes. I put him in his cute swim trunks and took a pic because he won't be modeling it this summer! I bought long sleeve shirts to go under his T's but the 5 pairs of shorts will have to be handed down! Moral of the story don't go crazy and buy in advanced for your unborn child at the 50% off the clearance price Old Navy Sale!

His doc reassured me that Bam Bam did not need his New Years resolution to be a diet, and that his growth was perfect! When the nurse came into administer his shots she told me to hold his hands! I held his hands and was talking to him when I saw her pull the first needle out of his thigh, he didn't even flinch! Then she gave him his next shot and his chubby face turned red for a split second and then he looked at me and gave me a huge gaping ear-to-ear smile! The nurse started laughing and said his big tough guy body matches his attitude! Oh boy! Still confused why he cries when I put on his onsie but doesn't when a needle his stuck into his thigh! Drubie's theory is his thighs are too fat to feel it!

Christmas Re Re Re-Cap

Here is a re-cap since my last post. We had a fun first Christmas with Graham and can't wait until he can grasp the Santa concept! We loved having friends and family in town and hope that we can see more of them soon! Warning it is a little random but I had to share a few photos!

Graham and his GF Lucy! Isn't she darling! She already has the upper hand in the relationship!!!
