Mr. Mouseketeer
Karen and Sean recently traveled to California and went to Disneyland. Here are a few pics of Liam enjoying a gift from Disneyland. Although I think he looks mighty cute with the hat on, I do believe that his favorite way to use the hat is to chew on it. Thanks Karen and Sean!

Sunny Evening
I thought I'd share a picture of our proud cat, Owen. He has been waiting for this life for 3 1/2 years. He has always wanted to explore the great outdoors, but we have prevented him for many reasons.
1. He is declawed and we thought the other neighborhood kitties might beat up on him.
2. We lived in LA before and all the cats in our neighborhood looked feral and like they were about to die of some terrible disease. So, we restricted the cats he could socialize with and kept it to Tally, the Gilcher's cat who lives next door. Owen misses Tally, his one and only friend.
3. Where we lived in LA, we were by a lot of traffic and we figured Owen's chances of being squashed by one of the millions of cars was quite high if he went outside.
So, now, in the great land of Illinois, Owen roams free. Well, as far as our yard because that's as far as he'll venture, but he is quite excited and proud about it. And of course, he wants back inside at a moments notice of something terrifying, like a crack of thunder, a distant lawnmower, or a a stiff wind (yep, I'm serious about the extent of his current lack of bravery).
Here's a shot of Liam enjoying the evening in the few minutes between when it is too hot and humid for him to be out and when the mosquitoes come out to play.

Liam Having Fun
Such a cute boy!
Liam has been enjoying a good game of peekaboo. One of the many ways he enjoys playing is by holding onto the sofa when I am sitting on it, squatting down until he can't see me, then popping back up, laughing and screaming. It is fun just to watch him have so much fun!

I Love Me Some Pears
Liam loves to eat pears right off the core since that's how he sees Andy and I do it.
Oh, the joy of solid food and a baby that really, really, really wants to feed himself.
How many ways may I eat thee, oh pear?

Little Troublemaker
Liam promptly got into a fresh load of folded laundry, but who can blame him? I should know better than to present such a temptation to a little explorer.
Pool Party
The leadership and staff at church had a pool party for some fellowship-we had a great time getting to know some people better (and a fun time in the pool)!

Go Lauren!

Cheerios and Teething
Liam has gotten four teeth since we moved into our home on June 1st. Needless to say, at times I have wished the whole teething process would've happened at a different time, because, who really wants to unpack boxes with an extra special fussy baby screaming for attention?! But then, there have been mornings like today when Liam slept in till 10:45 that made it seem all worth while. It is a precious morning when moms get to sleep in, even if it is due to their babies being in so much teething discomfort they just want to sleep it off. :) You can see in a few of the pictures the two teeth (just appeared today) that are starting to poke out on either side of the upper two. The upper two appeared a few days after we moved in.
Liam is also loving his Cheerios, and any other finger food he can get his hands on. He is doing better with actually getting the Cheerios in his mouth and keeping them there, although that can't be said for all the other finger foods.

At the Park with Church Friends
No, this picture wasn't taken right after Easter, we just still use the bib regardless of the season!

Liam Pulling Himself Up
Liam is loving practicing his new standing skills. He'll try to pull himself up on and cruise around a bit. It is fun to see him grow!
