Easter is right around the corner

Liam got to meet the Easter Bunny on Tuesday with his buddy Aiden. They have been spending a lot of time together and get along great. We have been told many times that they are future football teammates because they don't have a problem tackling and pushing each other around.
He is finally cutting the last two incisors on the top, so sleep has not been an option lately, but it will be worth it once those pearly whites come through.
He is babbling all the time and working on adding more words to the list that he already has. He will graduate from Sea Turtles (swimming) April 17th and will move on to Sea Lions after that.
Walking behind his car in the backyard. So happy the weather was nice. Deep in thought (this was after he "checked" out his car)
Don't you just wonder what I'm thinking??? I'll never tell :)-



I'll keep my wagon wheel, you give me the camera.



Reading to my kitty "bunnie"





Me, Liam, Easter Bunny, Aiden, and Patti Liam & Aiden playing at Ikea. They started out by washing dishes - then turned them into noise makers.

Almost 11 Months old!

I know I've said it before & I know I will say it again, but where or where has the time gone??? Our baby will soon be 11 months old and then 1 year old (tear!)
We sure have had our share of first with many more to come (mommy is going to be a Very pround mommy in this post :).
He is becoming very stable on his feet, so I am anticipating him walking (or maybe running?) very soon, which is why we now have a playroom in the basement :)-
He is crawling on all fours and is able to go forwards & backwards, pull himself up on furniture like a pro and cross between furniture.
He is also starting to get a good vocabulary. He is now saying momma, dadda, daddy (and pointing to Shawn), hi, hey, here, kitty (pointing at or petting the kitty), dog(gie) (pointing at or petting the kitty), yeah, and what is begining to sound like I love you. There has been another phrase which we will not post on the site because we have discovered that pete & repeat has come earlier than we anticipated & we don't know for sure who he is repeating, thank goodness it has only been said once.

6 Teeth!

We officially have 6 teeth that have broken through (4 on the bottom and 2 on the top). At least one more is threatening to break through (oon the top), so we will see when it decides to come through.

Liam is starting to feel better (on top of teething he ended up getting croup). He is doing really well on walking (still using a walker) and is starting to move from one object to another without falling. He has figured out how to pull himself up on the couch and the coffee table so he is pretty proud of himself. He giggles everytime he does it.

We went to playgroup this week and he climbed on top of the foam pads all by himself, so now he sit and play with wall toys instead of stand in front of them.

Holly also came and visited us today, and her fur jacket seemed to be the biggest hit of all - the dogs, cats, and Liam couldn't get enough of it.

It's crazy to think that Liam will be 10 months old next week, time is going soo fast and he is growing and learning by leaps and bounds.

Thanks for being a part of our lives!
Look close and you can see 4 of my 6 teeth! Where's Liam???

Busy matching everything (Eden Prairie Playgroup)

Mommy - I hope this one works because No More Pictures!

Milestones

The month has just begun and we are starting it out with new milestones. Liam is working on crawling on his knees (scooting is soo much faster, that he reverts back to his belly). He just starting using long objects to reach other objects that he wants to get. Is pulling himself up on Everything and starting to let go of the objects and continue to stand. But..... The Biggest milestone that our little man has started can be seen in the video below.

Have fun watching & there will be more to come.
Mommy Wait! I'm not ready for my photo shoot yet! Learning how to go under things

Just having fun




Trying to have some fun while teething (two more have popped through, 2 more can be seen, and the doctor said 12 total teeth before 1 year - lets see if he's right. I'm hoping it's true so we can get it all done and over with.)
