Grandma and Grandpa Rapp













Liam enjoyed another visit from family this week. Grandma and Grandpa Rapp came down from Indiana to visit for a few days. They sure did enjoy their time with Liam! They kept saying how good of a boy he is (which is the truth, we're so lucky!) They enjoyed helping take care of him. Grandma and grandpa both helped feed him his bottles, play with him, and hold him.

The weather has been rainy for a couple weeks now, so we couldn't get out and enjoy the outdoors too much. We did get to enjoy an evening of shopping and a great dinner out on Memorial Day though. We also were able to get out and take a nice long walk with the entire family and the dogs Tuesday evening. Liam received some more gifts from grandma and grandpa- more clothes, sandles, and a book. I think Liam has more clothes than Shawn and I combined! He's one well dressed boy! He's also one growing boy! He has been eating like a champ, and I can tell he's gaining weight. He's starting to fill out quite quickly. Although, I do think he is still on the thinner side for a baby (he doesn't have the roles anywhere). 


Well, my parents left this afternoon, and Uncle Curt and Aunt Melissa will be in town for a wedding this weekend and will get to see him! We're so happy to be spending time with family!

Mimi is in town!













Well Mimi (Shawn's mom) came into town last Wednesday. She came to see Liam- oh wait I mean "all of us" haha. Liam and Mimi are having a blast with each other. Mimi has been helping feed him, change him, and bathe him. They're also reading and playing together too. Its certainly been heaven for Mimi to get to spend all this time with Liam. She also brought Liam a lot of new clothes, which we all love. 
Its been so nice to have family around (and not just because of the extra help). We really enjoying Liam being able to spend time with family because we don't live around any, so its special when he gets to. Mimi leaves on Wednesday and then my parents come into town Saturday. Then next Friday, my oldest brother Curt and his wife Melissa will be in town for a wedding and will get to visit with Liam as well! We will for sure be visiting Erie in June, and we're really excited about the trip!

Three Months Old


Its hard to believe, but Liam is now three months old! He really seems to be growing and changing so much. This month we are going to have visits from Shawn's mom, my parents, and my brother and sister-in-law, and we can't wait. We're excited for them to get to see him and how much he's changed. We're also planning a trip home to PA in June and to Indy in July! We're hoping our plans work out! 
 


Liam is doing pretty well. He's been a bit more fussy than usual... we're suspecting he may be teething already. I guess we'll keep you posted on that. He's still becoming more and more interactive. He loves to smile and "talk" to people. He's discovering how to make new noises with that mouth of his. Its quite fun. Since Liam is now holding his head up quite well on his own, we got out his jumperoo for him to play in. He's still a little small for it, but he seems to enjoy it well enough. I think as he gets bigger he'll like it even more. I added more photos to the smugmug site... enjoy!
