Baby Update:
We wanted to give an update on our growing bambino. We had our last prenatal specialist appointment last Wednesday, January 4th. I say last because the doctor explained there is no reason to come back - everything looks great with the baby. Also, last Wednesday the milestone weight for the average baby was just over a pound. However, they are estimating that our little guy was about 1 pound 10 oz!!! Also, when the sonogram tech measured his humorous bone - she said it is measuring a week ahead of the average length for that bone...so, I think we're going to have another tall and big baby coming in April! Yeah!!!
It was so cool to see him in the sonogram waving his little hands and fingers around. He kept swinging his arm over and above his face like he was stretching out. Also, the tech would press firmly on my tummy with the wand and he would give a swift kick back!! He wasn't going to take any poking around I guess!!!
Lately, the little guy has been so active at night - Kevin can totally feel him kick and roll around now. During story time at night when Liam lays across my lap - the little baby kicks Liam as well!
Last night was fun, Kev and I got to talking and he had to talk me down from the rafters because I told him I didn't think I could deliver another 10 pounder with a generous noggin (words of our prenatal specialist with Liam)! I told him - of course I want a healthy baby, but maybe I should have married a guy with a smaller head!!!
Well, whatever the future holds for us I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Phil. 4:13!!!!

Baby Names:
This is an semi-unconventional way to ask for advice, but Kevin and I are researching baby names right now and we are open to accepting your suggestions! Yes, we have a few in mind, but would love to hear your ideas as well. We are leaning towards Irish/Gaelic (Kevin) or Ukranian/German (Kelly). Joseph is the middle name!
Liam Update:
Liam is now 17 months and a week old. He weighs 29.2 lbs and is 34 inches long. Kevin and I just made a heafty investment in two new carseats that will fit the little guy(s) up to 120 lbs (converts up through a forward facing booster seat). Liam knows so much - points to everything when you ask him to identify objects and LOVES book time at night before bed. We are calling him our 'little chef' and our 'grumpy bum'. He is into discovering everything - and lately we've been outside cleaning up the backyard. He's been a little hesitant to get down into the dirt and even fussed a bit two weekends ago when he fell forward and touched the leaves, pinecones, etc. It was pretty cute!
I took him last Friday to a play date at a park in Kennesaw and he loved playing with the little ones. It's so funny for us because everyone thinks he is 2 or older (mainly because he towers over the other 17 month olds!). I just keep saying over and over, nope he's 17 months - just really off the charts for his height!
Enjoy some family pics below!
