Zoo or Bust

Liam and I met my prego friend, Jodi, and my prego sister, Rebekah, with her son, Henry, at the zoo in Waco. The zoo was a bust since all of the animals were stashed out of sight, but it was a lovely visit with some great girls.

We did see the giraffes in their depressingly small stalls:

Jodi practiced her baby talk with Liam:

Bekah and sweet Henry. The boy handled the disappointment well:

He did not handle the statues well, though:

Cousins:

I hope we have better luck next time!

Golf Weekend

Last weekend, we went up to Lake Whitney to golf and visit Leif's folks.

I didn't take the camera out on the course, so you'll just have to believe me that it happened. I haven't played 18 holes in about two years. I had two miserable holes before I adjusted my grip and did much better than expected! Luckily, the Sherry's house is at the 10th tee, so I was able to nurse Liam half-way through!

Here's Liam with Grandma & Grandpa Sherry:

A beautiful day on the course and a nice visit with family!

Chicago

We spent this past weekend in Chicago for our good friends' wedding. Here are some highlights:

Liam's first plane ride:

He did really well, slept most of the way. If only he could've helped carry some of his crap!

At the salon to get my toes did with the girls & Liam:

On Friday night, we went to dinner at Nevin's with practically everyone we know in Chicago. It was so much fun to see some of our favorite peeps.

Matthew & Clay.

Catching up with friends from OKW: Sarah, Anna, and Dominick.

Stefanie with Jenny and Jacob.

We stayed with Matthew, Jenny, and Jacob at Matthew's Aunt Paula's home. We had a great time relaxing witht the extended Philbrook fam and really appreciate their babysitting for the wedding!

Leif and Liam.

Jacob and Liam are starting to interact more. So much fun!

The wedding was a Quaker ceremony, so I couldn't take any photos. Here are some from the reception:

Coco and Aaron's first dance.

Us.

The gang. All friends from Ultimate Frisbee: Oren & Rachael, Aaron & Coco, Matthew & Jenny, and us!

We love Chicago and our friends there. I hope we get back soon!

He's a Steamroller Baby!

It takes Liam a little bit to get to it, and I'm a terrible videographer, but I think the video is worth checking out nonetheless. Roll, baby, roll!

Mom in Town

Mom was in Austin this week for a conference and we were glad to see her for a couple of nights!

We took a stroll around the U.T. campus:

And this is what Liam thought of the whole thing:
Liam with his Mimi. Enjoying the little fishes:

The next day we went to the Ransom Center on campus where we enjoyed an Edgar Allan Poe exhibit, and saw the Gutenberg Bible, the first photo ever taken, and Frida Kahlo's Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. We also tried to visit the Texas State History Museum, but it cost $7. So we checked out the gift shop!

Good to see you Mom!

Three Months Old

Liam is 3 months old! And these are some of his skills:

He can sit in his Bumbo Chair and hold up a card telling you how old he is.

My Lower Case G is almost a Big G as he lifts his head like a champ!

I know I've already posted a similar pic, but I looked over yesterday and the rattle was actually stuck on his chubby cheeks!

He's ALMOST rolling over!

He has started spinning around in his crib and kicking on his jungle light show!

I can't believe Liam is only 3 months old. I feel like I've known him my whole life. Happy birthday, son!

The Old Pecan Sreet Festival

We went to 6th Street last weekend to enjoy a fall festival. Unfortunately, it was the hottest day of the week!

Dr. Evil and Mini-Me.

Taking a break. Turns out, carrying a baby on your chest is sweaty business.
