The End of 2010

Well, today is offiicially the last day of 2010. We have had an exciting year and have been very blessed. We hope that everyone also had a great year, wonderful Christmas, and will have a Happy & Safe New Year!

Mommy, I can hear her! I Love my baby!

This last picture was taken right before she kicked/hit him & he decided to dive bomb her in retaliation :) Gotta love Sibling Love!

Children's Museum

We had a great day at the Children's Museum today. We had never been there before & decided to try it out. Liam had a BLAST! We started our day at about 9:30 and didn't leave there until 1:00. He passed out before we even had a chance to get out of the parking & is enjoying the rest of his nap peacefully in his bed.

There was soo much to do there that we will be going back to visit soon. (Just an idea, he got to be an ant, drive a bus, go to the grocery store then cook in the kitchen, go both regular fishing & ice fishing, along with climb up some ropes.

He decided before we left that he had to give a little girl a bunch of flowers. I'm not sure what she thought about it, but her twin sister seemed pretty jealous.

We couldn't have asked for a better way to end the week!

Driving the bus. Pretty cool, the headlights & blinker work. There's also a street scene running behind him for the kids he's "driving" around. Guess he doesn't want to be a Ranger when he grows up.

Ice Fishing.

Seasoning the steak to perfection.

Smelling the flowers to make sure they are ok to give to the little girl.

Pictures

Here are some misc pictures to go along with the last two posts. (There are 2 sets of pictures & two blogs with more pictures to come once I get them off my phone)
(Man am I doing bad at this blogging thing lately, LOL).

So I'm not sure why everything is getting underlined - but I guess I'll deal with it this time :)

Even the dog needs to get dressed :) A little hard to see, but Two was a trooper with it around her neck.

Liam Loves his new chair. He's growing up soo fast!

Santa & Peef

Well, Liam had a great day yesterday which was a joy because he has had a cold for the last week :( poor guy.
We went to visit Santa and while we were there we found out that Peef was going to be saying HI to all the kids. Liam was the brave one & walked right up to Peef & started dancing with him. After that, he sat on Santa's lap & played patty cake with him while smiling the whole time.
We're very excited to see how this Christams goes & how he does. He's been really good so far and left the presents under the tree (even though he keeps patting one of the boxes - which is his - and asking please). I just hope he doesn't think it's a Thomas, because that's what he asked Santa for - not us!
The baby is continuing to grow (or at least my belly is :) and we will be having another ultrasound on Thursday to see how she is doing. Our last ultrasound was showing that she was doing well & progressing as she should be along with measuring 2 days older than all the previous ultrasounds, so if this is any indication - we are up for another big baby. Guess only time will tell.

Where did November go??

Well, Time has flown by faster than I can say & I've been horrible about keeping up with the blog.

Liam is doing great. He just turned 19 months on the 23rd of November & is growing by leaps & bounds. He adores Thomas the Train & wants to play at his train table 24/7. We went to the Train Museum today to show him some of the cool train set that they have and he didn't want to leave.

He's gotten a clean bill of health from his Dr & we are hoping to get him back into swimming & start tumbling classes after the new year when registration re-opens for the both of them.

For those that haven't heard, we are having a little girl (name to be announced early May, so asking won't help :)- she is currently 16 weeks old and we will be having another ultrasound in a couple of weeks.

There will be some big changes occuring in the Casey household. Many of you know that we have been working on upgrading our house because we have just plain grown out of it since the arrival of Liam, and now that I am doing part-time daycare it feels even smaller.

Well, tonight we upgraded our Yukon to a Suburban and are really crossing our fingers that a new house is right around the corner, because man o' man is April our Month!

Did you know? I'M A BIG BROTHER!!!!!

7-11 weeks

August

Happy September everyone!

As usual last month went by way too fast and we have had many new things happen.

Liam is starting to say a lot more 2-3 word sentences & is working on running (he can now go "really fast" half way across the living room.

Liam is a huge car fan (right now his favorites are: fire truck, cement mixer, car hauler) He also Loves airplanes. Along with that he has taken a HUGE liking to "cooking". My kitchenware is not safe! We took a trip to the $$ store to get him his own utensils (we'll see if he leaves mine alone) and will soon be getting him a kitchen.

It's really cute to watch him while we sing "head, shoulder, knees and toes" along with "if your happy and you know it" because he can point out head, eyes, hands, tummy, and feet.

He has to have something on his wrists pretty much at all times right now. If it's not his ducks (see pictures) it's one of my hair scrunchies. He is also working on pulling his underwear up, putting his shoes on, and can successfully put his arms into his shirt. I just can't get enough of all the cool stages.

Liam is also working on popping his last four teeth! I can't wait until the teething is done, the poor guy just doesn't do well with it at all.

Car pooling with his buddy Aiden

Fingerpainting (yes he was thinking about eating it, but he opted to try the blue instead of the red)

Yet another teething picture

He found some funky dog in a box of toys I brought in my mom's house.

This is what happens when you have a garage sale and your son gets into the stickers :)

He has figured out how to get into the pantry and found his new favorite snack.

He's yelling DaDa DaDa (Daddy) over and over at the top of his lungs. (Now for the best part, Shawn is actually right behind him)

No More Dust!

Ok.....
So I've been slacking on the posts. (To be honest, it's kind of sad posting - it makes me realize just how fast my little man is growing!) I was reminded today that my blog is "collecting dust".
To fill you in on what has been going on in the Casey household.
Liam will be 15 months old on Thursday! Happy 15th month Little Man!
He amazes us every single day. Some of the new things that he enjoys doing are: walking backwards, laying on his stomach and slithering backwards, pulling toys (while walking forwards or backwards), throwing balls (he's working on kicking but right now it's more like walking & accidentally "kicking" the ball), stacking blocks (legos & regular blocks).
He is teething yet again, which as you know is not the happiest time of his life - BUT we only have 6 - Yes 6 teeth left to come in :)- Then we will be done until he starts loosing them.
We have started watching a little girl who is 12 months old. Liam seems to love having her around, and keeps busy reading and talking to her. He's not the best at sharing yet, but it will come.
He is talking ALOT lately. He is starting to say 3 word phrases - with his favorite being "I don't know" and "I DID IT!" He is also really starting to love posing & smiling for the camera (could that be because he's had a camera shoved in his face all his life??)
Enjoy the updated pictures!

Cake Pictures

Mommy; I don't like where you put the candles, Let me do it.

Luck o' the Iris shining down upon us! It turned out to be the best day every!

Ooops... They're backwards.

This is the aftermath of Liam. He didn't really like the feel of frosting on his hands & I smashed his hand into the teddy bear. He was ok with this frosting, but liked the Green stuff better (from the cake Melissa made)

You want me to do WHAT???

LOVE, Love, LOVE this picture!

Hey, why is everyone singing?? What's going on??
