Liam's Birthday

I can't believe it's already been an entire year! It has gone so fast. As you can see from my lack of blogs, I've been busy.

I absolutely love motherhood and everything it entails. It's quite worth dealing with the god-awful poopy diapers, sleepless nights, tantrums, etc.

Liam has continued to be the more adorable little turkey I've ever seen. I know he's mine and all, but still, he is insanely cute.

Aside from all the obvious stuff, like crawling, sitting up, eating solids, etc. he can do so many things now. He loves giving us 5's and if Chris says, "If you're a troublemaker put your hands on your head!" he does! One of his favorite toys for a long time has been his ball. He had a mini-basketball, but that became a bathtub/shower toy. Now he has a tennis ball graciously donated by his cousin Layla (translate: Michelle gave Liam a dirty dog slobbered tennis ball and Liam couldn't have been happier). Liam also loves to dance, press buttons on anything that has buttons, and playing with the kitties.

Having the cats, while hairy, has provided us with such a simple way to make Liam happy. He absolutely loves the cats. If he's grumpy or we need to distract him, all we need to do is ask him where the kitties are.

Just recently Liam taught himself how to get off the couch...unfortunately. I now REALLY have to watch him on the bed and couch otherwise he might try to get off and he isn't too good at it yet.

Liam is such a monkey. I remember watching my friend's son, who is quite the climber and thinking how cool/scary it was and wondering if Liam would do the same. Sure enough, he's a climber. It's amazing how much he gets into even though he's still so little. He's not walking or standing on his own yet, but he can easily climb into a box almost as tall as he is. Crazy stuff.
