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!
