I forgot to post some pictures of our new Niece Claire Marie Poulson. She was born May 6th. She was 9lbs. 8oz.and 21in.long Yes I said 9lbs. 8oz. I'm not sure how something that big could fit inside a mom so small. Welcome to the world Claire and to the Poulson family Blog. 

 

 

So it has been a long time since we have updated our blog. But I've made up for it, and then some. I think there are atleast 50 new pictures posted. So enjoy. These first pictures are from a few nights ago. We had burrito's and Liam went to town eating like a "big boy" It took us longer to clean him up than it did to make the meal. But for those of you who are already parents understand that you will go to any means to get them to eat, and to have a quiet meal. Even if it means your child is covered in beans from head to toe. Enjoy the many faces of Liam. 

This is actually not a sad face. When you say "cheese" to Liam now, he pulls this face. It's really funny, but I'm wondering if that's how I look when I say Cheese and he's mimicking me? 

 

Ahhhh A full tummy and a messy highchair. What could be better? 

 

Well we hit another mile stone at the Poulson house this week. Liam got his first hair cut. I guess you could call it more of a trim. We only had to cut the back. It was so traumatic. Not for Liam , but for Mom. Just another sign that he's getting bigger everyday. 

Here it is in all it's mullet glory. I didn't think it was that bad, but Nate kept calling him Bullet (for baby mullet) and Lora said it was starting to look like like a rats tail. The final straw was the humming of Billy Ray Cyrus tunes. I can't believe I gave in to peer pressure at 26??? 

I'm holding back the tears. There goes the last remnants of him being a newborn 

A beautiful rendition of chop sticks. 

I'm not sure why we buy Liam toy's. He'd much rather play with pens, tupperware, and spoons, than his real toys. 

Here dada you try. 

Ryan and Liam chillin on the love sac 

Lora and I took Liam and her puppy Pickles for a walk. Liam got fussy and wanted to be held, so we carried Liam and put Pickles in the stroller. People were giving us strange looks. (Auntie chris I think Pickles and Milo would be good friends.)

This was on Liam's actual birthday. He'd already had two other parties, so we just let him eat a cupcake after dinner. 

Piece of cake! I've got this whole cake thing down. 

I took Dan and marie to the Oak Alley plantation in Vacherie, LA. It's an amazing plantation. The tree's are HUGE. It's worth the drive to go see it. I'll take anyone who wants to go. And they have the best mint juleps (if that's how you spell that. Virgin ones of course.)
