It's About Time!


So we started this blog awhile ago but haven't really done anything with it. Everyone keeps getting on us to update it because they want to see pictures of Liam. Anyway, we're back up in Provo going to BYU for one last year (hopefully). Emileah started the semester taking two classes but it was very difficult to juggle Liam with all of the homework she was getting from both classes so she dropped one and that has made it a lot easier. I am taking my last real difficult semester with four engineering classes and working but it hasn't been too bad...yet. Liam is getting to be a college student very early in life because he gets to hang out with us on campus a lot.

So now to update everyone on what they really care about...Liam. He started eating real food about a month ago and he loves it. He's not what you would call a skinny child, so that wasn't much of a shock to us. It's very nice for us because we can just bring some cheerios or something with us wherever we go to keep him busy. He's still the most energetic child we've ever seen. We have all wood floors in our house and he is constantly running circles around the front room in his walker. We LOVE the walker because it lets him entertain himself so we can get stuff done. As I'm writing this he's standing in it below me screaming so apparently it doesn't give him quite enough entertainment. We're trying to get him to figure out the whole crawling thing but he won't have it. He hates being on his stomach. Today at church he did the best so far because we were out with all of the other noisy children and he just laid there on his stomach watching the other kids walk and crawl all over the place. He likes seeing people similar to his size because he's not around them too often. If they get too close he gets scared and starts freaking out and gives one of these faces.
The picture is a little old but he still gives the same face. Emileah really wants us to get a family picture done so we can send it out as a Christmas card or something since we have a real family now. I keep fighting it because I hate the whole picture taking thing but she'll probably win. I think it's time to finish this post because Liam has reached the freak out point.
