Who Needs Toys?

Some of Liam's favorite things aren't toys. He adores the laptop, banging on things and of course his rainboots.

I like this picture, speeding down the driveway

This is currently his favorite toy, he loves building towers, knocking them down and stacking the cups. The house looks particularly clean in this picture...

The boots

Baldy baby

I was just looking for something on my e-mail and found these pictures of Liam from the summer that Robynn took and I love them, especially the first one!! The hair growth is noticable! Thought I would share ...

Blogging at Night...

This somehow seems to make me more sentimental. I feel like I could write pages about Mr. Liam and all his funny and lovely "things" that make him him.

Lately, I have been following this lady's blog and marveling at her gorgeous photos. So happy, so full of life. She tragically lost her daughter, Ava, last year. She shares her life and her grief in a beautiful way and very honestly. I don't know Ava, but in some strange way I too miss her and wish she was still here. Here is the blog
http://sheyerosemeyer.blogspot.com/ It is worth a peek.

I really do long to appreciate and enjoy this little person God has given to us in this season of his and my life. I know it will pass far too quickly. He truly is a treasure.

Here he is enjoying his oreo cookie.


P.S. Is it ok to give one year olds oreos? I may be ruining his tastebuds for life, but how can I resist this face and his "ma"

Hi Baba!

This is what I have been hearing for the past week..."hi mama, hi dada, hi baba(blanket), hi nana, hi wa wa (dog)" Just about hi anything. It is about the cutest words to my ears, I doubt I will ever get sick of hearing this. Here are some from this week just playing.

A big kiss

Christmastime and the Livin' is Easy

It has been quite some time since I lasted posted. Here is a taste of what we have been doing in the meantime. We have had such a nice break and it has felt long and somewhat restful. Now we have to get back to real life and it is not easy. So thankful for all the time we spent with our families and friends. We truly miss you!

We had a wee Christmas, just the three of us before we left for Toronto



This is in Toronto, Liam's first time sitting and playing in the snow. (We're still waiting for snow in Philly)

Christmas morning with my parents. I have more but still haven't downloaded them

Boxing day with our friends from New Zealand (minus Allison)

Now we are in Florida and Liam is in his robe

It was fun for him to have stairs to climb wherever we went

This pic is for your Robynn (notice the toes on the right)

And unpacking with some new boots from Nana

The other day we went to a fun museum for kids downtown. They had a ton of stuff that Liam adores, such as buses.

Liam is just paying his fare...
