sucking his thumb

3 months old and sucking his thumb? Last week when Jeremy and I would get Liam up from his nap he would be sucking on his thumb. But now when we put him down for his naps this thumb promptly finds his mouth and he goes to sleep. I think it is really cute right now...probably won't be in 2 years :) I am wondering if he started sucking his thumb because he is about to cut teeth. Maybe it feels good on his gums, because those teeth are about to pop through any day!

goodbye chuck

dear ugly green chucks:
your demise has come. praise the lord. you officially are un-wearble and that makes me a very happy wife. you will be replaced.

new camera...new photos

3 Months Old! There are a couple developmental milestones you will notice in these pictures...grasps and shakes toys (his first set of john deere keys :), and supporting his upper body on his arms while laying on his stomach. He is growing up so fast!! We had a little discussion the other day about how he is not supposed to grow up so fast, but I don't think he listened very well. Other things he is doing are: brings hands to mouth, takes swipes at dangling objects with hands, opens and shuts hands, and starting to show some hand and eye coordination.

l.i.a.m.

Well my excuse for not posting in a while is because we don't have a camera anymore! I think it got lost or possibly taken at Dathan and Elizabeth's wedding so we have ordered another one and it should be getting to the house today!! I am so excited to have it. I'm sure Liam has enjoyed the flash not going off in his face every 5 seconds but I have missed it. Its not so bad that our camera was misplaced, I was kind of wanting a different one anyways! :) But here is a video we took a couple of days ago...we can usually get HUGE smiles out of Liam when we spell his name and move his arms to the shape of the letters (I think he just likes the movement of his arms). He is just at such an amazing stage right now...smiling and talking constantly. I love it!

back to work

last night was my first night back at work. it went much better than i thought it was going to. it felt like i was just off for a weekend, and not three months! it is going to take me a while to get used to the pace of that place again...it kicked my butt. i was pretty tired when i got home, but i will re-adjust. i am only back part-time which is an amazing blessing that we can do that. it has worked out that jeremy and i will adjust our schedules so that we don't have a sitter. it made it much easier to go back knowing that he was with jeremy. jeremy loved his 10 hours with him yesterday! he would text me picture of him throughout the night. looks like they had a lot of fun!

liam walking?

Ok well he is not really walking obviously...but this is his new favorite thing to do. It keeps him happy that is all I know! (oh and I am almost 100% sure he is teething...at 10 weeks!)

parmesan baked salmon

Here is a new recipe I tried that turned out really well!

Parmesan Baked Salmon

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
4 salmon fillets (1 lb)
2 tsp lemon juice
10 ritz crackers crushed

Preheat over to 400. Mix mayo, cheese and pepper and set aside.

Place salmon on foil-lined shallow baking pan. Drizzle evenly with lemon juice.
Top with cheese mixture; spread to evenly cover salmon. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
