Uh Oh!

That is my favorite phrase that Liam says. It is so cute! He runs up to you holding out whatever he has "hurt" (usually he hasn't hurt anything, he just wants you to kiss him) saying "uh oh!" He has many adorable features. I love this kid so much. I can't imagine what it's like with your own kid. Liam doesn't get on my nerves. He is such a good baby. He is 22 months. I take him to the park and the beach every day. He naps every afternoon, sometimes I nap then too. My life is so unstructured. I love it. I live here so I never have to "be at work" I'm just always here. I wish I could do this all summer. They really need me all summer because there is so much going on in this family that is keeping Liam's grandparents out of town, making it so his parents have to work more. The grandparents and parents own and run three of four stores and an embroidery warehouse. They are about to open a new store here soon, creating more work for them. My cousin, R, just had her baby so Liam's grandparents are up there with her and their second grandchild. I cannot wait to see the baby!! I was in R's wedding as the maid of honor last year. I plan on going to see the new baby as much as possible this summer. I hope to be like an aunt to her since I will have no nieces or nephews of my own. I went shopping the other day at the outlet mall. They have a Gap outlet and a Banana Republic Outlet. It was great. I love those stores. I can't shop in regular Banana Republic. There is also an Old Navy near by. I was in heaven. I got almost everything I needed. I realized that I did not get black capri's and shorts which is something I need for working at Woody's this summer. I'll have to go out again to get some. I looked a little for black shorts, but I didn't see much black anywhere. I'll have to look in a department store. Yesterday, I got totally lost in the gated community trying to bike to the beach. I was towing Liam in his little "chariot" behind me. I spent 45 minutes trying to find the beach. It is normally about a 15-20 minute ride. I biked so much that I decided it is no big deal that I have been drinking whole milk every day. I worked all of it off. I took the correct path home. Liam was just fine throughout the whole trip. He sat back there quietly watching the scenery (which was beautiful at times) and drinking his juice. He is finally just about used to me. He doesn't cry when his parents leave anymore. He never cried for very long anyway. Yesterday, his parents left before he got up and got home after he went to bed, so he didn't see them at all yesterday. He was just fine all day. Of course, they are paying for it today because he has been clingy and cranky. He's allowed to be though because it's rough being away from your parents that long at that age. He is such a good kid.
