Playdate

Here is the most recent photo of Liam. He is 3 weeks old already and is a really good baby. Waking up at night only to eat and then back to sleep! He is just adorable! Jackson and Charlotte had a pajama party on Saturday night with movies and popcorn.

Emily's hair is getting long! Tyler is hoping she gets his curly hair that he had as a kid...yes, he did have hair at one time!

Big sister checking out baby brother!

Sunday activities

Emily can't pull herself up to standing yet, but does pretty well standing if we put her up against the couch. We go for her 9 month appoinment on Friday to see how much she's grown! Jackson was helping daddy in the garage and found his lifejacket. Of course we had to put it on and play in it. He's not the only one ready for boating weather again!

Crawling

Here is Emily with Nana!

A video of Emily crawling....to a pen! I think we're just going to get her pens and paper for Christmas since she enjoys playing with the everyday household items rather than toys...

Soccer

Jackson started a soccer league on Saturday mornings. It is a really neat league that teaches them fundamentals, listening skills, and playing well with others. Sorry these pics are so blurry and dark-mommy didn't have the camera on the correct setting.
Daddy got to go out on the field with him to help him out.

This was the first time that Emily and I are left in the bleachers watching the action.....but certainly not the last time we'll be watching Jack from the bleachers!

Emily is crawling-look out Christmas Tree!

Here are a few recent photos taken of the kids..... Emily loves her bath time! Jackson isn't so sure since she takes his toys now!

You can tell Daddy took this one. Go Irish!

Here is proof! She just started going forward with crawling yesterday. She has been scooting around on her belly, rocking, and going backward for weeks, but she just got the hang of it last night! Watch out Christmas decorations-she's on the move!

Welcome Liam Douglas Fagin!!

Liam Douglas Fagin was born 11/17/09 at 11:15am. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19.5 inches. Very healthy baby boy! Congrats to Jamie, Tim, and Charlotte on the new addition! Welcome to the family Liam!! Here are some photos taken in his first hour! More to come later!

he loves to suck on his fingers!

Liam's visitors

Big sister Charlotte can't come see Liam because of the H1N1 issues, but he has had some special visitors.... Uncle Tyler

Nana with grandchild #4

Kay Kay with grandchild #10!!

Big Sister!

Charlotte came over and played with Jack while mommy and daddy went to "pick up the baby from the hospital". Here she is sporting her big sister shirt!

Trying to Crawl

Emily is trying to crawl. She still hasn't mastered it, but it's only a matter of time!

Fooling Around with Daddy

Jackson and Emily have really enjoyed having more at home time with Daddy. Tyler and Jackson were playing football in the yard the other day. Maybe Jackson will be the next Notre Dame quarterback (whose number is currently #7).

Aunt Lynette gave Jackson a teepee to play in! He loves it, but I don't like it in my living room. It will soon move to the basement...

Emily has really started playing on her own with toys. No crawling yet, but she is rocking back and forth on her hands and knees. We had her first tooth break through yesterday!

Jackson likes wearing Tyler's shoes. In this picture he is talking to Grandpa on the toy phone.

Bath Time

Emily is almost 8 months old now! She has developed such a cute personality!

Jackson likes having Emily inthe bathtub with him...but only for a little while. Then he likes to have the entire tub to himself!

Happy Halloween

For Halloween Jackson was a Notre Dame Football player and Emily had 2 outfits. At first she was a duck and then later changed into her fairy costume. Here they are with the pumpkin daddy carved.

Family photo..

Daddy carving the pumpkin earlier in the day.

Charlotte was a kitty for Halloween so Jamie is drawing whiskers here.
