Some more pictures of the kiddos

Sweet Boy!

Learning to shake a maraca.

Not sure what this look means, but for now it's pretty cute :)

Zoë doing the dishes

This is Zoë's new trick - eating an apple that isn't cut up into tiny pieces. Whenever she wants an apple she says, "Whole apple Mom!"

Happy Halloween!

Our adorable little tiger

and our beautiful lady bug!

Zoë decorated a pirate pumpkin for Liam and a kitty pumpkin for herself, but I only got a picture of the pirate. Zoë also got to be a skeleton at night with pjs that glow in the dark!

Zoë trick-or-treating with her buddy Jolie. We just went to a few houses in our neighborhood, but by the end of it, they were both saying "Trick-or-Treat," "Thanks," and "Happy Halloween!" So cute!

Liam is 2 months old!

Here's our little man at 2 months old! He's doing great and has teased us with a few nights of sleeping 8 straight hours. Hopefully this will become a regular occurrence very soon! We've discovered that Liam feels pretty uncomfortable whenever I eat dairy, so I'm on a dairy free diet until he's 6 months old. I'm definitely missing chocolate, yogurt and cheese but it is all worth it if it makes for a happier little boy!

I HATE taking my babies in for their shots! Here's what Liam thought of the 3 shots he had to have at his 2 month appointment:

Liam's 2 month stats:
Head Circumference = 15 1/2 inches (50th percentile)
Height = 23 inches (50th percentile)
Weight = 13 pounds, 8 ounces (75th percentile)

Zoë is 2!

Our little sweetie is 2 and she is so much fun!

Zoë enjoyed a fun party with lots of family and a few friends. She loves "Finding Nemo," so I made her a Nemo cake for her special day :)

Making sure Liam is enjoying her party

"Sharing" sidewalk chalk with friend Jolie

Trying out her new bike!

Zoë had her 2 year check up and is doing great. She's 25th percentile for both height and weight at 33 inches and 25 pounds!

Making Brownies!

Zoë has a new favorite activity - making brownies!!! Her favorite part is "stirring" which is supposedly what she is doing in both of these pictures. No wonder she loves it!

Liam's First Trip to Moscow

Aaron went to Portland for a long weekend to present 3 lectures at an optometry conference (they all went great - nice work Honey!), so Zoë, Liam and I headed up to Moscow. My dad is by far the best dad and grandpa in the world as he drove down to Boise to drive up to Moscow with us and then drove back down with us and drove home on his own. This made the trip so much easier on me!

While we were in Moscow Liam was unfortunately very fussy, which may have been due to all of the commotion. We're also thinking he may just have a sensitivity to some of the food I'm eating, so I'm doing a trial of cutting out dairy from my diet. Hopefully things will calm down soon!

Despite the fussiness, we had a great time in Moscow and as always Zoë loved her time with her Fountain cousins. We wish we could be around the Moscow crew more! I managed to get a few photos, but not nearly as many as I had planned on. Here are a few of the ones I did get:

Liam hanging out with Aunt Alli

Uncle Dave had the magic touch with this creative position. It calmed Liam down immediately! I have since tried to copy this, but have not had the same luck.

Zoë decided to try out being serious for pictures this weekend. She really was having a blast with her cousins and only made this face when I took the picture.

There's the serious face again. This is with Tanner (my friend Dannette's little guy). He's a couple months younger than Zoë, but is quite a bit bigger than her! Thanks for driving up from Lewiston to see us Dannette!

Aunt Sylvia has the magic touch with Liam too!

Our Growing Boy!

Liam is growing like crazy! I'm not sure what he weighs right now, but he is definitely heavier than his friend Luke (who is one day older than him) and his cousin Naomi (who is 2 1/2 weeks older than him). He has his 2 month check up on Halloween, so I'll update you on his stats then!

Meeting Great Grandma Nancy

Paino

We just bought a piano and Zoë loves it. Often when I'm feeding or changing Liam, she will climb up onto the bench and play and sing her own composition. She's a natural!

Liam is 1 Month Old!

We have been so busy, which has made this month go by so fast - too fast! Liam is growing quickly and has been such a wonderful addition to our family. We can't imagine our life without him now that he's here!

This is how Liam enjoys most of his stroller rides

What We've Been Up To

These last 4 weeks have been quite an adjustment for our family, but we are starting to get used to our new routine and are loving our new addition!

Here are Zoë and Liam testing out the double stroller for the first time. This has worked very well and Zoë loves having Liam sitting next to her where she can keep an eye on him.

Liam has been practicing waving and making all sorts of faces!

We spend much of our time admiring Liam.

Zoë likes to take her baby for a walk just like mommy does with Liam

Liam hanging out with his cousin Naomi who is 2 1/2 weeks older than him.

Looking for squirrels in the shade of our back yard.

Napping

Hanging out with friends and their babies/toddlers. These are two of Aaron's good friends from high school. Tony has Ambrose (12 weeks old) and Joe has Jack (2 1/2 years old) and Luke (2 weeks old - 1 day older than Liam)

Even though it takes us a lot longer to get out the door now, we still manage to make it to the park most days!

Comparison of Zoë and Liam

Aaron put these pictures together to compare our two kiddos. Pretty fun!

Liam Patrick Bronner

Our sweet little boy has arrived!!! Liam Patrick Bronner was born on August 30th, 2011 at 1:21pm. He weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is perfect!

Here's our little man getting ready to head home from the hospital.
