Not a whole lot to say about this......

You need a closer look?

Don't worry.....Mike had a long talk with him about this after he woke up ;)

Updates!

We've had a busy few months aound here! We moved into our new house in July, just 2 weeks before Liam's second birthday party. Even though it was a stressful few weeks, it was nice to have an "event" to motivate us to get the house in order. We could not be happier, and all of the extra space is just what we needed. This feels like the house we were always meant to be in.


We will really need the extra space in another few months, because just a few days before Liam's birthday we found out that we are PREGNANT! I'm due March 21st and we could not be happier to give Liam a little brother or sister.

We added a new sister to the family on Labor Day. Ricky and Susan got married, and we spent the afternoon with the newleyweds and our new extended family.


This has been a great year so far, and we can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings!

Hero Day

This Saturday was Hero Day/Touch-a-Truck at our neighborhood. It was about a million degrees outside, but Liam had a great time anyway.

Georgia Aquarium Part 2

Mike and I took the day off on Friday to take Liam to the Aquarium. The last time we went, Liam was about a year and a half old, and we could tell how much more he enjoyed everything this time. It was hard to get pictures because he was busy running all over, but here are a few...

Big Kid

Like Father, Like Son...

Love.

2 year check up

You had your 2 year check up in August and you did great. No shots this time! Here were your stats...

Height: 35 1/2in. (75th%)
Weight: 28.2lbs (50th%)
Head: 49.2cm (50-75th%)

Here are some things you are doing at 2
- You can sing your ABC's
- You can count to 15
- You talk in full sentences all the time.
- You know all the colors.
- You love to sing and dance.
- You LOVE to wear your shoes (crocs). You would wear them to bed if we would let you.

- You would eat fruit snacks all day long if we would let you. They can pull you out of just about any bad mood.

- You are still obsessed with your bunny and your night-night.


Our bedtime routine is just about the same as it's always been. We read one or two books (My Dad Can Do Anything and Where the Wild Things Are are 2 of your favorites) then you like for me to sing the ABC song with you (which I think is hilarious)and you like me to sing You are My Sunshine. After that we usually rock for a minute and then you go right to bed.

You are doing great in school and you love it. You really love Mrs. Lolo and Mrs. Meagan, and you talk about your friends all the time. When we ask you what you want to name the baby, you have consistently said "Kyle Barlow" which is one of your best friends at school. We think this is hysterical. You go to Tumble Bus once a week and also have weekly spanish and music classes. You are learning so much at school, and we love watching you grow.

You are 2 though, and at times you really like to show it. Time out is a pretty common occurrence around here. We now COMPLETLY understand why they call it the "terrible two's", but we still think that toddler attitude aside, you are a great little boy and we love you so much!
