Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day, everybody! Liam was feeling festive this morning in his new duds from Grandma, which he'll wear to cheer on the Irish in the NIT tonight:





Liam just started smiling this week, which I finally (kind of) caught on camera:

We celebrated my big 3-0 this weekend, starting with a surprise from Anthony: he took Friday off work! And with that came the fabulous gift of a little extra sleep while they made breakfast. Here is Liam helping Dad in the kitchen:

Liam even got me a birthday card-- how thoughtful! :)

Quality time just hanging out:

Later that afternoon, we took Liam out to the KoP mall-- he did awesome, and it was so good to get out for a little while! Here he is in the car on our way:

Spring is springing! These flowers first started to come up the weekend that Liam was born:

Nana and Grandpa came over the weekend to visit and to be Liam's first babysitters so that mom and dad could sneak away on Saturday for a birthday dinner out. Here we are on our way out (trying not to look as excited as we admittedly were!):



We came home after dinner to find happy grandparents and a sleeping baby. Hooray!!


On Sunday, we all went with Aunt Gretchen out to Kildare's for brunch. Liam enjoyed (mostly through the backs of his eyelids) his first trip to an Irish pub:


Last night, we introduced his first bottle to start to train him for when I go back to work. He was pretty confused to be getting the same meal from a very different source, but he ended up taking it anyway. Hunger prevails!
