Video!!!

I had some computer glitches with my laptop...but I figured it out, so I was finally able to upload the video to Blogger. Enjoy!

We have movement!!

Liam is completely on the move!! He crawls all over the place and he has his sights set on walking. As of last night he started pulling himself up with my help into a standing position. He held onto his activity center and walked along side of it. Tyler didn't even crawl until he was 13 months old....so I have this 8 month old that is showing signs on walking...what am I going to do!!?

It was pretty exciting tonight, I was on the phone with my mom and she was asking if Liam can put himself into the sitting position and I told her that he tries, but he can't yet and then like 30 seconds later he did it! He was crawling and then pulled himself into the sitting the position! It was crazy!!

Here is Liam doing a headstand. I have no idea what he is doing, but he loves to do this!! Last nigh was hairdo night in the bath!! Doesn't he look super-handsome?!?!

Look at my teeth (and my messy face!)

Mohawk!! Am I going to be a rockstar? (he has the screaming down, just right!!)
Look at those beautiful blue eyes and the crazy, finger in a light socket hair!

Stay tuned, we have a crazy several weeks coming up!! This weekend, we are headed down to Eugene for the annual knife show (Ryan likes to check these things out), then we are headed to a vineyard to check out some wine we have never had before. The weekend of April 19th we are going camping (hopefully the weather will be warm!!). Then Ryan's mom is coming in May for Mother's day and lastly, back to back camping weekends in May.....It is a good thing that Ryan gets to start his sabbatical for work next week (8 weeks paid OFF!!) He really needs it to focus on school!!!

Liam Update!!

I was so excited about getting all caught up on the blog that I completely forgot about the Liam news.

He finally has TWO teeth! Both of his bottom teeth came in on St. Patrick's Day (of course!!). We all had some sleepless nights the week before his teeth came in, but now all seems to be fine!

Also, the other big news, he just about has the hang of crawling. He was crawling all over my bedroom tonight. He would take a few little crawls and then fall on his stomach and then take a few more crawls and fall on his stomach....he had a HUGE smile on his face the whole time. I'll try and get some pictures or video tomorrow.

Blog Catch Up!!

Wow, we have alot going on in the Canady household, here is a quick catch up!!!

After Grammy left, Tyler and Liam were both actually really good. Tyler got all his stickers at school the next day and overall really good!!

Tyler went to a birthday party for his friend Conner. They had the party at this place called "Pump it Up", where they have all inflatable bouncy, jumpy things. As you can see from the pictures he went nuts. I felt bad for Liam, he really wanted to get out there and play with the kids.


Here he is going down the slide!!



Aw, Amelia is giving him a big kiss!!

Here is Liam on his 8-month birthday!! His hair is crazy and he sits up so well right now. Of course he is still drooling a ton!

Tyler and Liam in the bathtub!! Tyler likes to share his toys in the tub!

Look at the handsome boy!! He looks so much different once I tamed the crazy hair!

He looks like a completely different boy!!

We went to Claim Jumper last Thursday. The kids had so much FUN! It is new chain here in Portland, so after a few tries, we finally went when it wasn't so crowded. They are really a good restaurant for the kids, they brought out a free dish of finger food for the baby, he didn't like it so much, but it was pretty neat. The food was crazy and there was so much of it!!

Liam kept trying to grab our food!!

EASTER!!!

And somehow the fun never ends here! Ryan is on Spring Break and he took the week off of work as well, so he is tiling the Master Bathroom, he is one day into the project and I think he is majorly regretting it! Also, we got a bid for new granite counter tops, so we are going to get those, so no more PINK counter tops!!! We also got a bid to replace the pink counter tops in the kitchen, but we will wait until summer to see about that! Pretty soon I might have a master bath that is sort of in this decade and not 1987! More pics to follow!

Random Pics....

Grammy is leaving tomorrow and the boys are going to be very sad!! Tyler has been spoiled with toys and everything he wants and Liam has been held nonstop!!! I feel sorry for the teachers at school tomorrow!!

GRAMMY'S HERE!!!

And, of course the boys are being spoiled beyond belief!! But we wouldn't have it any other way! Both Tyler and Liam and being very good for Grammy. I tried to take Tyler one last time to go swimming for Grammy, but he wouldn't even get near the pool. He has turned into a big chicken since Liam was born, he used to be such a daredevil! I think next round of classes, I am going to take Liam on a "Baby and Me" class to see what Tyler thinks of that!
Here is Tyler getting his haircut...again, one of the things that he is deathly afraid of since Liam was born. He used to do OK getting his haircut but now we have to hold him down. He yelled and screamed soooooo loud. By the way, he was the only kid that yelled and screamed...yeah embarassing!!!

Here are just some random pictures over the past couple of weeks!




Here is a "Neat trick" that Grammy taught Liam, he can't pull himself up on his own yet, but he sure LOVED to stand there!! We are still waiting for crawling to happen and his first tooth, but I am confident that both will happen any day now!!

More pics soon!!

Long Overdue Post!!

Yeah, I know, I am pretty behind already on my blogging...but it has been a crazy week. The stomach flu has been going around, first Liam had it, then I had it, then Ryan had it (he got it the worst) then Liam again and then Tyler a little bit. Needless to say it has been a LONG week. On top of all that two girls in my office quit and left us in a lurch, so I've been working like crazy just to keep up!

Liam has really been enjoying his activity center....he loves to grab onto all the toys and spin around. Plus, he just loves to stand up, because he can see everything that his big brother is doing. He is learning lots of bad habits, already!! He is still working on crawling, he can now pull himself up on his hands and knees and lift his head up like he is about ready to take off....watch out!



On Saturday when I was sick, Tyler and Ryan went out for "Boys Night Out". They went to Red Robin for dinner and then OMSI to see the dinosaur bones and then to Cold Stone for ice cream. Tyler had lots of fun and of course, we are still on dinosaur overload.

Ryan bought Tyler another floor puzzle at OMSI and of course Tyler put it together in no time flat. He is good with the puzzles.


This is a picture of when Liam was sick last week, all he wanted to do was hang out in his Johnny Jumper! He just loves to bounce, bounce, bounce, but when he is done he lets you know RIGHT Away!!

We didn't make it to Tyler's swim class last weekend because I was sick, so hopefully he will go in the water this Saturday. I had to bribe him, they have a snack machine in the lobby and I told him that pick any snack he wants if he goes swimming for the entire class. Lets see what happens.
