Liam



Our little Liam. He's going to hate that I called him that but I can't help it. All of his features and his movements are so 'fine'. He's adorable when he runs with his small quick steps and big smile. He has big beautiful brown eyes just like his brother Caden. He still has never needed a haircut beyond trimming a bit at the back. The fine hair comes from me - poor kid! I think he might be hitting a growth spurt because he is eating more than any of his brothers. He has been eating his portion and some of his brothers' too! And sleep - he sleeps really well, not waking up in the night much and will sleep 10 hours consistently. It's too bad that from 8 pm that only gets us to 6am. When he gets up though - he's in the mood to cuddle so it's a pretty sweet morning routine.

I can't get over what a sweetie Liam can be. He's a snuggler too. He's the most likely to curl up on your lap and cuddle there for a while. I love it.

He has a cute little voice too and he loves to try lots of different sounds, one of those being a high pitched scream that he usually uses when he is excited (like when Caden chases him around the house) or trying to get my attention. He's smart that way. He gets the whole "squeaky wheel gets the grease" thing. If his brothers do any thing to him or take anything away from him we all hear about it. DRAMATIC! He will throw himself on the floor and squeal away. He looks up occasionally to make sure someone is paying attention. And when he gets mad for real - whoa - he'll reject anything you try to give him, even throwing it on the ground to make a point. On the flip side though - he can be the happiest little guy - just bouncing around, playing and being silly. He loves to laugh and to make all of us laugh. He likes music a lot and is a really big fan of tv. When we turn it on he giggles and gets all excited and when we turn it off; Not a happy boy!

The word for Liam that is coming to mind would be 'cautious'. He's not likely to jump into things full force. He wants to make sure it's ok first. That makes me think that he won't fall for every story he is told. I think people are going to have to earn his trust. He's not big on new things and is VERY hesitant when we try to get him to do things. Thankfully though, he will calm down eventually and once he likes it and knows what it is (like his bath or a swing) then he's fine. So, at the moment, risks are not his thing but he loves to play and to be outside and do things at his own pace.



He draws people to him like you would not believe. He always has someone that wants to hold him and play with him. He gives people this lovable little look that melts their hearts and gets them to do his bidding. Adorable. He's stubborn as all get out too. When he wants something you can't change his mind. Such a big personality in that little package. I can't help myself but to hug him all the time. I guess he has us under his spell too!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...

And the final answer is....
