We have a tooth, people!

Well, it's big news folks. Liam has a little razor coming in on his bottom gum. AKA - a tooth! We figured something was going on since he's been a drooling fool and chewing on everything (which isn't that strange, I guess) and sure enough, we found the little booger last night. We've noticed bumps and nubs every once in awhile, but this one is the real deal. Took a pic and everything. Bwaahhh, he's growing up too fast!!!

Ode to CoCo

As many of you know, we lost CoCo last week. Best the doctor could tell, she broke her neck. We gave her almost a week to try to see if she had something else wrong that she could recover from, but no luck. Once she started to feel pain, we knew it was time to let her go.

CoCo was one of those amazingly great dogs and I wanted to show our respect by dedicating this blog to her. We will miss her tremendously and know she's in a better place now. I imagine her running like the wind chasing the chipmunks that annoyed the heck out of her here on Earth. Maybe in heaven she'll actually get to catch them. I hope so, girl - go get 'em!

Liam is 5 months!

Liam is 5 months old! Okay, okay, so he was 5 months yesterday, but I'm playing catch up. He and I have been sick for the last week and I thought I was doing pretty good getting the blog updated today! ; )

Anyhoo, on our trip to the doctor last week to make sure nothing was horrifically wrong with the kiddo, we did discover something a wee bit shocking. The dude gained another pound in three weeks! He was 16 pounds 10.5 ounces. Yikes! He's quite the "hoss" now. He's well on his way to doubling his birth weight of 8 pounds 11 ounces by six months. After those first 2 weeks of losing or only maintaining his weight, we've done quite the "about face".

And as you can see from the Easter pic, he has discovered his toes. They haven't made it into the mouth yet, but he's working on it. Thanks to Miss Becky for the chick hat and "My First Easter" bib to commemorate the holiday. It's quite the fetching headdress, I think.

That's about it for now. I'll try to get some pics and stories about our trip to Disney last month too. It was very cute and Liam seemed to enjoy the stuff he was awake for...
