Christmas 2008

Well Christmas was some what a blur for me. It's soo hectic that it seems to just fly by! Dan and I have off the next two weeks...that'll be nice! I soooo won't want to go back! Thursday we went to Dan's parents for lunch and then for dinner we went to my Mom and Tim's. Saturday we go to my Dads to celebrate Christmas with my entire family!!

So after Liam's birthday I really didn't know what we were going to do with all the toys he got! THEN Christmas came!! Now we REALLY need to build a new house! I had to move around his bedroom to get some of his toys in there. He'll play in there a bit...but not too long unless you sit in there with him. He is going down and playing in his room though more and more! I'm really not sure how many more toys this child can possibly have???


Of course I wanted to send out Christmas cards to everyone this year....but do you think I could get a picture of Liam I liked!?! NO! I finally got one like the day before Christmas and at that point I figured...too late! Here's the one I got.....

He doesn't cooperate the best...but I thought this one came out pretty good and it was fun! He's on the move now!! Walking all over. So to get him to sit still, just doesn't go over well!! It's hard to believe he's walking already! Gosh how time flies!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!! 2009 HERE WE COME!!

1 YEAR stats

So I took Liam to the doctor for his 1 year check up. It went really well....the doctor was more than pleased with his growth! He's 22lbs 8 oz (40%) and 30.5" (68%). He's growing so fast!! The doctor gave us a referral to see a dermatologist for his birth mark. Liam was born with a birth mark on his hip, as did I on my leg (it looks very similar) but mine has gone away in time. Anyways, I noticed his mark get a black spot on it....so the doctor would just like a dermatologist to look at it and keep an eye on it. Better safe than sorry! Not really worried about it...because like I said I had one when I was born too and it's now gone. Other than that....he got two more shots, and his last flu shot! The doctor said there is only one or two more check ups where he'll get shots and then not again until 4 years old! That'll be nice!! I feel bad when he gets shots, but he's such a trooper about it! He cries for a bit and then he's over it!

Well hopefully I've updated enough for now....I'm sure I'll be updating soon with Christmas pictures! I can't believe Christmas is this week!?!? It really feels like Liam's first Christmas even though last year was technically his first....he was just so little (only two weeks old) we barely got any pictures!? This year will be a lot of fun! We're very excited!!

LONG over due!!

I'm soo not good with keeping my blog updated! Well as most of you know our little guy is OFFICIALLY 1 years old!! We were soo excited for Liam's 1st birthday....and then I get the FLU?!? Ugh it was absolutely horrible! I now know why they have the flu shot! I will forever be getting it from here on out! I just couldn't imagine being so sick and yet there is nothing to help you feel better! I felt like I should have been hospitalized!! lol. I prayed sooo much that God would let me feel better for Liam's BIG day! THANK GOD...Friday I was feeling much better and was actually able to help out and make Liam's birthday cake! That was quite the project! Thanks to Maegen...I don't know what I would have done without her that week! She did most of the cake baking and then Friday when I felt better we got to the finishing details! All in all in turned out pretty well considering we are BY FAR not cake professionals! Here was our finished product

Not perfect but not bad either! Everyone said it tasted really good...so that must mean we did something right! lol.....Here are the pictures of Liam tasting his 1st birthday cake :)

Taking it easy at first.....

WHAT A MESSY BOY!!!!

Sharing with Mommy.....

Some people didn't make it to Liam's party....after hearing I was sick, some didn't want to take the risk. However, we did still have quite a turn out! I'd say we probably had around 50 people there! Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves! It was really nice! Liam got a lot of presents! There were so many we decided to bring them home to open them...little at a time! It was so much easier this way, especially considering how crappy I was feeling! Liam was sooo excited to see some of the presents he got! Here are some of the pictures we took!
