little liam

i was finally able to meet jaime’s baby boy, liam!

it was a rainy morning that turned into a beautiful day. we all agreed to meet at noon, but as usual, it’s always on olive’s schedule and she was on a nap marathon. baby girl finally awoke, i got her fed, dressed, packed, and off we went to j’s house.

not too shabby…we arrived only fifty minutes late! i gleefully came inside, i greeted jaime, then her mom {who was in town for the week}, and then all the girls and the kids. i was so excited to see little liam! oh, i had already forgotten how small babies can be! liam had grown to a whopping 8lbs {he was born prematurely at 30 weeks}! that was olive’s size when she was born and he was so teeny! so delicate. i can’t believe olive was that size…awww, makes me a little teary eyed.

us girls took turns holding each other’s babies and gabbed in-between. this was the first time olive was near anyone close to her age! katie was 8 months old and we set them down together for some play time. not quite successful…katie rolled her way over to olive and happily grabbed a handful of her hair on top of her head and yanked olive’s head down to the ground!! oh em gee…it was actually cute. olive whimpered a bit but it was adorbs because kids are kids, they have no barriers and katie was like, ‘i want to pull your hair ’cause i’m intrigued’.

it was a house full of kiddies! liz has three kids; ryan, matthew, and katie. jaime has liam. i have olive and carol has travis and mackenzie. it was quite a circus!

liz and carol started to prepare lunch for the kiddos while we conversed and watched over each other’s kids. once the kids ate, us mommies scarfed down our jimmy john sandwiches and chips. yeah…this mom ate standing up ’cause olive wasn’t having it, she didn’t want to sit in my lap while i sat at the table!

[our quick lunch!]

after i ate, i warmed up olive’s food {pears!} and fed her. she loves eating! she has totally learned how to swallow her food instead of pushing it out and around her mouth. so now she is having a blast swallowing big spoonfuls of yummy goodness.

after lunch, carol lit two candles on two cupcakes to celebrate travis and ryan’s birthday! how sweet. they share the same birthday! yum is for tasty cupcakes!

after the craziness of lunch, us gals relaxed in jaime’s living room {as much as we can relax!}. i was pleasantly surprised how calm and entertained olive was in my lap. she sat there for an hour, just chilling and entertaining herself with some toys!

after several hours at j’s house, i finally packed up my things and we left to go home to see the hubs! it was seriously a great afternoon! we had such a wonderful time hanging out with everyone. i was so happy to have met liam james and to have spent some solid quality time with the ladies!
