Liam Robertson Social Butterfly

So I decided the other day that Liam has a way busier social life then Matt and I combined. Wow I really need to get out of the house more!

Firstly, when the weather was warmer on Saturday Matt and I purchased a kiddie pool for Liam to lounge and to entertain his guests in. It was a beautiful day with the right amount of sunshine to keep the pool warm but we put the sunshade up anyways so this little man would not burn. We had a great time for a good half hour until Liam decided enough was enough and tried to escape out the side of the pool.

It's kind of like Maui!

Last Sunday my cousin Alex and his friend, Eric, rode through town on their motorcyles as they were heading down south to California. It was great to have some visitors too bad the weather was so rainy for them but they never complained.

Lastly, Liam has now figured out how to climb on boxes to get to objects on higher shelves. Which is an amazing accomplishment but once again things are being moved out of his way so he can't get those little paws of his on them. He is now pulling up on furniture and attempting to make his way across the couch. Soon enough (I don't really want to think about it) he could be walking...

He'd rather ride on the toy box rather than play with the toys in it. Crazy Munchkin!

No Paparrazi!!!

We are lucky to have Auntie Cecilia, Uncle Lloyd, Kim (who's 4 months pregnant) and Luke visit this weekend so be ready for some new pics soon!

Love,

matt, mo and liam

Tea Pot Hill

I know I posted yesterday but we went for a very nice hike up to Tea Pot Hill so I thought I would just include these photos...enjoy!

Hey I've got some new party tricks!

Liam and Auntie Sian at Harrison Lake Golf Course

It seemed like summer was finally here since we reached highs of 30 plus degrees this week but nature can be tricky as we all know so today I write this post under a very grey sky. blah.

Despite the weather the past week has been filled with some new craziness. Here's the recap:

Mother's Day - We spent this special day with two other families - The Budinski's (Ryan, Amy and their daughter Danielle) and The Kheleh's (Har, Sheila and their son Gavin). Yep, the same kids in the previous Oilers photo. It was wonderful having the kids over but also a chance to relax and chat with other adults...a nice change. :)

Why sit when you can stand? Liam's new philosophy after seeing Gavin stand up the evening of Mother's Day. It has been exciting to watch as he will stand while holding onto the coffee table however that means removing everything that is in his possible reach...books, glasses, food, the list is endless.

Wow, can you believe he's been in this world now for almost 9 months!

On top of Spaghetti...yep it's true Liam had his first meal of spaghetti with whole grain noodles, Ragu Original Sauce, and ground turkey --> we have to keep it somewhat healthy. He seems to enjoy it even though spaghetti doesn't look that appetizing after it's been put through the blender but who I am to be so critical.

So I guess really before our eyes he's making the transition from wee little baby who was so helpless to a bigger baby who is still helpless sometimes but likes to pretend he's all grown up. Kidding! He's doing great and we're very proud parents. See you next time!

Love,

The Robertsons

Oilers Mania!

Hey Y'all,

The last week and a half has flown by already so here's a quick recap...
#1) Our friends, Tanya and Brent, came to visit for an evening the last weekend of April which brought a big smile to Liam's face. It was great seeing friends from Edmonton and I hope more will come to visit. hint hint!

Hi Tanya and Brent thanks for visiting!

#2) We were lucky enough to have not just one uncle this past weekend but two. Cam and Andy both come out to the 'Wack to spend the weekend with us. Let me tell you Liam hit the sack hard the Sunday night after the uncles left. :) We went on a fantastic hike to Lindeman Lake on Saturday and enjoyed the rainy weather out there. Sorry no pictures...somehow the camera did not come out all weekend.

#3) The Oilers are into the second round of playoffs. YEAH!!!!! However, it looks like they are needing some help against San Jose so I have enlisted some help. Liam's two friends from the YMCA, Gavin and Danielle, are also big Oilers fans. So on Tuesday they decided to do a mini baby shoot for the Oilers to give them some luck...here they are.

Liam, Danielle, and Gavin cheering the Oilers on!

The flowers of May have come out and we are definitely looking forward to some hot weather finally!

Who knew some one could be happy like this all the time?

Love,

The Robertsons

He's a crawlin'

Our lives have suddenly taken a drastic turn for the better (or worse depending on how you look at it I guess)...Liam Connall has learned to crawl. Okay maybe not the most common form of crawling many people call it creeping...whatever it is it has changed our lives.

Liam with his backpack on ready to move out

Here's an example:
Before the creep - could leave tv remotes on the floor and Liam would try to get to them but swimming on his belly would never get him them there

After the creep began - tv remote innocently lying on the floor only to have sneaky Liam creep across our carpet like a cheetah stalking its prey and pounce on the remote sending the tv into channel changing madness.

Okay I make it sound horrible but it is very cool watching him gobble up a trail of cheerios like he's pacman eating up the food pellets. :)

Crawling over to a cheerio

I will try to get some photos of the little man in action but he is moving so much it gets a little hard to take pictures and move objects out of his grasp.

Love,

Matt, Mo and Liam
