Our Date Day 2-11-13

Sweet Liam,

Have I mentioned that you voluntarily give my kisses on the cheek and hugs now?  It's my favorite thing in the world, I'll be doing some chore and suddenly there you are hugging my legs!  It stops in my my tracks, I intentionally lean down to hug you back.  I love your kisses just as much, your little face smooshed up against mine.  Heart, melts.

Work has been super busy, for the first time in your life I've had to bring home work which I only worked on after you were fast asleep.  The last month has been very busy but I'm hoping it will pay off soon.  My heart longed for more time with you, the weekends are just too short!  So I scheduled a paid day off with just you and me!  You slept in so I got up and made us a yummy breakfast and Dadda got you up before be left for work.  We lounged and played for a few hours before getting dressed and heading off to play on the big train at the mall.  It's always so packed with "big kids" (5-9 years) on the weekends that you have no interest in it, but on this quite Monday it was all 2 year olds and you were so happy!  You quickly got comfortable and soon were climbing all over it, giggling and sliding down the slide.  You were none to pleased when the lady came to clean it, you wanted no part of the few minute break!  You played and played to near exhaustion and we headed home for snacks and a nap.  After your nap we played and ate lunch.  (G'ma did come over to watch you while I went and got some bloodwork done but the good results were worth the break in our day).

Later that night when Dadda got home we all ate dinner, Dadda cut your hair and you had a bath.  At bedtime you passed out!  You had so much fun and we played so much you were ready for sleep!  I so enjoyed this extra day with just you and me and I promise many more of them in the future!!

I love you to the moon and back!

Things to Remember; 19.5 months

Funny, Sweet and Spunky Liam,
How is it possible that you are so close to two years old?! You are growing so quickly!  You are so much more like a little boy lately!  You love to help in any way possible, especially handing Dadda the clean spoons from the dishwasher!  And recently you learned to tell "I not noooooo" when we ask for someone or something that is out of sight.  You love to play puzzels and have gotten really good at getting the pieces in the correct spots, and clapping for yourself! You also really love to go in your room in the evening when it's a little dark and have us turn on the projection part of your noise machine, there is a disc in it that shows stars, a moon and a cow and sheep.  Dadda and I sing "twinkle, twinkle little star" and lay on the floor watching the images with you.  Although you can't say the worlds you clearly now them and can make a humming noise along with us!  You also still love books and your favorite is "Goodnight Moon" which we read you at least five times everyday!

My absolute favorite thing you've started doing more often is hugging us.  Dadda or I will be doing something and you will come up and push on our legs until we face you and you press your little body into ours to hug us.  It's the nicest thing and makes my day every time you do it (which is daily).
The terrible twos have started making appearances in our home which isn't the funniest thing.  You also have three more teeth cutting skin so that makes you slightly grumpy too.  I'm not sure how you can fit more teeth in your tiny little mouth but when you laugh you open your mouth so wide I can get a good look and sure enough, three more little teeth coming in!  For the most part you are a very good little boy, you listen really well considering you are so young. You are generally happy and so very fun.

I'm so thankful that I get to be your Momma, I would not trade it for anything in this world.
