Oh, watermelon....how I've missed you!

 I just cut my first watermelon of the year!  That makes me one happy girl!  Our grocery bill sky rockets during watermelon season.  We are all huge watermelon lovers and they don't stick around long.  I get a bad addiction, always have to have one cut and in the fridge when they are at the store.  I think I paid almost $8 for one last year!  Liam loved it last year but only would take a small bite at a time.  I'm sure he'll devour it this year.  He's definitely a fruit lover like Joe and I.

Lots has happened since the last time I wrote.  On March 29 I hosted an Easter party for my mama friends and babies.  We had a hunt (inside because it was raining) and they loved it!  It's amazing to see how far they've come in a year.  Then that night, I spent my first night away from Liam.  Joe was off the next day and I always schedule all of my appointments around his schedule so Liam can stay with him.  Well, Joe decided he wanted to go skiing with his cousin at Crystal on Friday so he took Liam with him up to his parents, Grandpa David watched Liam in the morning, Auntie Sue for an hour or two in the afternoon and then Grandma was with him when she got home from work.  I rode the train from Kelso to Tacoma Friday afternoon and they picked me up.  It was so weird without having him here.  It really felt like my heart was breaking when him and Joe pulled out of our driveway Thursday evening.  Worst feeling ever.  I knew he was in good hands, it was just hard seeing my baby leave without me.  I was so excited to get to him the next afternoon!  He did great without me....and he was mad at me when I got there.  I could see him in the car and he was smiling at me and so happy but as soon as I got in the car he turned his head away from me and started almost yelling at me!  It was like he was super happy to have me back but wanted me to know that it wasn't alright to leave him like that.  Or at least that's what I like to think!  He was probably just mad that I came up! ;)

The picture below is Liam's first roasted marshmallow!  We were at Jack and Sue's and Jack decided to roast one for Liam and one for Dylan.  Can you tell Liam was in a slight sugar coma?!  He loved it!

I'm thinking Joe and I might take Liam to get his first haircut tomorrow.  It's getting pretty out of control.  Maybe if we get it cut the "what a pretty girl" comments will subside?  I'm not even joking, pretty much every time I'm in public at least one person will call him a girl.  It doesn't bother me, I actually take it as a compliment!  But he wont like it when he's old enough to understand what they're calling him!  Every time I imagine him sitting in a chair and getting it cut I get a big lump in my throat though.  Ugh.  Why does everything have to be so bittersweet?
