Mommy and Liam conversations...

I got home for work today and this was my conversation with Liam:

Mommy: "What did you have for lunch today?"

Liam: "Soup"

Mommy: "Really, what else did you have?"

Liam: "Cheese crackers!"

Mommy: "Wow - anything else - what about applesauce?"

Liam: "Applesauce"

So, needless to say I had to ask Grammie if this was accurate. Believe it or not, my 20 month old recited what he had for lunch.... hours later! He didn't actually eat the applesauce, but it was offered to him. Instead, he had Jello!

Does he take it from me?

Liam was just voted the most high-maintenance human on the planet!

Happy Halloween....

Liam the "moo cow", as he calls it, wants to wish everyone a Safe and Happy Halloween!!!

September 2009...

Liam helping plant mums. He LOVES to be outside, not to mention playing in dirt!

Getting a bath in the kitchen sink after playing in the dirt! He loves the kitchen sink!



Seriously... how precious is this?

Getting ready to go to Larry and Ashley's wedding. (please don't pay attention to all of the bags in the background - we were getting ready for Grandparent's Day the next day)

Mommy and Liam dancing at the wedding...


Happy Grandparent's Day...

Hanging out with a friend at our annual deck party...

Liam's new coloring position.... I LOVE IT, but he looks like such a big boy and that makes me sad!

August 2009... the month of Birthdays........

Liam's first ice cream...... (I know we are mean, but really he didn't like sweets until recently. He is an organic baby and doesn't get things like this unless they are organic, therefore we are at Oberweis!)

He is telling us it is yummy.....

As you can see, it made him hyper......

Thank you Mommy for letting me have ice cream....

WOW.... that was fabulous!

On the fair train heading to the State Fair.... with Mommy and Daddy and all of the grandparents......

He LOVED the goats......

He loved the "hoppy's" too...

Liam enjoyed the fair train and fair so much, Grandpa decided he wanted to spend his birthday with Liam at the fair again.....

July 2009....

First Build-A-Bear experience.... Big Cousin Hannah showed us how it's done!

Leaving with "Stripes" the puppy....


Daddy and Grandpa helped Uncle Boom with fireworks in New Castle. Mommy, Grammie and Liam spent a lot of time visiting them......

Our "sold" sign on our new land! We purchased almost 6 acres (2 ponds and 1.5 acres of woods). We hope to build in the spring.....

Fun at Grammie and Grandpa's...... Liam LOVES his train table.... I personally think they should have waited until Christmas to give it to him, but they wanted to get it for him now. I guess Christmas in July for Liam!

Liam trying ice cream. He never gets sweets, which means he generally does not like the taste. This time, he liked it!

This summer we enrolled Liam in Kindermusik! It was every Monday evening for several weeks. He was one of the youngest in the class, although NOT the smallest. The first few classes he wanted to leave, but by the third class he LOVED it and was a wild man. He pretty much ran the class!!! It was nice to get him around other kids. He is going to be our little leader! He definitely gets that honest from his mommy!!!

When you eat as much as Liam, it is exhausting!!!
