Our Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. Uncle Jesse came to stay with us and after opening gifts and eating breakfast, we all headed out to the Appleby farm in Tofield. As it turned out, Santa visited the farm and left a second set of gifts for Liam. He must have been on the "nice" list....

Isabel - Liam really likes his slinky dog. Thank you for sending it to him.

Pictures will follow when I get them from Aunty Megan.

1st Birthday

Excited when the first guests start to arrive.



Learning to share:

Liam tried to steal his buggy back, happy when Holden fell down, nervous when Holden stands up again. Yes Liam, he's bigger than you!

Gift Openning:

Wow, he was excited to see the barn!

But he couln't get into the box to play with it!

Waiting somewhat patiently while Mommy got the barn ready.

Finally! barn is ready for his little hands!



Then again, maybe he just wanted the box...

Liam's First cupcake: (no commentary needed)

For Grama

Since it took only a few minutes to upload photos, I thought I'd throw this video in there too. Sorry, I don't know how to turn it straight.

Ok Grama, this is all for you!!



Daddy was confused by the turttle neck. I laughed till I cried, twice!!


Nope, I did not forget to turn the photo. He just likes to do this. A lot!



Trying to play on Daddy's laptop.



My happy boy!




He likes lasagna!

The first snowy day this year. I guess he likes being bundled up in the car. He still looks like a little baby when he sleeps.

Jayme's Birthday Party. Not sure that he likes wearing the flowers.

The last park day of the season :(

At the lake. My son loves the camera.


Another happy day!!

Liam at 9 months! (sorry it took so long)

Thank you Amanda for sending this cute little onzie! My little brussel-sprout is not so little!

I'm not sure what we were thinking with this outfit, but Liam is still cute!

Liam can drink out of a cup!

And here he is eating supper. Tonight he had carrots for the first time, but in this video he is eating rice cereal.

A Big Month!

ok, a lot has happened in the last few weeks.


We celebrated our first Mother's Day!




Liam has discovered his toes!




He has been trying to eat our food and drink our drinks...




so we started him on rice cereal!




He learnd to sit on his own.




We went to the park where he discovered trees and geese!





We finally found sunglasses his size!




So we tried them out at the playground. He had so much fun that when it was time to go home, he had a little temper tantrum!!





We've sure had a lot of fun!!!
