Sweet and Silly Liam,
I am so thankful you are a Momma's Boy! I know you may not always be but with each day you run up to me and exclaim Mom-Meeee!!! my heart overflows with joy and thankfulness. You have such a fun and silly side, you simply crack me up!
I have always said I love you but pointing to my eye, making a heart with my hands and touching your nose. You have always loved this and this summer started making a heart with your hands (it's more like you put the tips of your fingers together but close enough). Lately you have been pointing to your eye and saying "luff" with the heart and pointing to your nose, I laugh which makes you laugh. It's the best part of my day! I call it our secret code! I lay you in your crib after story time and say "are you ready for our secret code?" and you say "YES YES YES!". Heart melted!
Lately your vocabulary is exploding, just this week you said at least three new words! Of course I can only think of one off the top of my head (you suddenly said "Go Nanna's House?"). I know you understand so much more than we realize but when you pick up on things (like realizing it's the day you go to Nanna's house while I work) it just blows my mind. You are growing up so quickly, I know I saw that each time I write you but it seems time manages to find a faster speed each day.
I can not wait for Christmas this year, I know you will so enjoy every part of it! And it's our first Christmas in our home!! I'm tempted to put up the tree early (it's our first year with a fake tree and I'm pretty excited). We'll see if I can convince your Dad!
I love you Liam. You are a special blessing in my life and I don't take one moment with you for granted! Being your Momma is the best part of my life!

Sweet Liam,
We had the best fourth of July! I got up early and went running (7 miles) with our new neighbor friend. I was so happy to see your smiling face when I got home! We ate pancakes and played trains! We even went out and played in the little pool and blew bubbles (your current obsession).
Soon nap time was upon us, you went down for your standard 3 hour nap so I enjoyed a short one hour nap. I had planned to take you to the outdoor pool for ever and finally everything worked out so we could go! When you woke up we quickly dressed you, feed you and our neighbor friend arrived to go with us (she doesn't have kids).
Once at the splash pool (for toddlers) you were in heaven! You loved the slide and all the things that sprayed water! You even got brave enough to go through the big jets that shoot up from the ground! It was the best day!
Love you!
Momma

Most Fun Award
Sweet Liam,
You are turning into the most fun little boy ever! Yesterday we made it to church and you did really well in the nursery with all your buddies! After an afternoon nap we ate and then you and I headed back to church to volunteer with the kiddos (something we started doing together last fall). Sometimes this is a challenge for you, sharing me isn't your strong point, especially sharing your Momma. :) Last night though we had a blast! There we maybe six other kids your age, we all played, laughed and enjoyed a snack while I taught lesson. It was by far the most fun we've had volunteering. I really consider you my little buddy, I enjoy taking you on errands and spending as much time together as we can.
I'm so excited for all 2013 holds for us sweet boy, I love you to the moon and back!

Sledding &Christmas Lights
Hi Sweet Liam,
Well we finally got some snow and by some I mean like 5 inches! I can't believe it took so long! This weekend we bundled you up and Dadda and I each took you sledding!
You were so cute in your snow pants and carhart coat....you could hardly walk but you were warm! On Sunday afternoon I decided to take you out-and-about in the sled. You weren't so excited about all the layers until I buckled you into your baby size sled and off we went! We are currently renting until we are in our forever home this Spring but the good thing about the rental is that there is a school just one block from the house so we headed there. You enjoyed going all around in the snow drifts, once at the school I pulled you up and down a very tiny hill. Unforunately you started to get cold fast and then apparently I wasn't pulling you home fast enough. I unbuckled you assuming you'd like to be carried home, nope. You wanted to walk and didn't want to hold my hand! You even fell, hard, a couple times but it didn't even phase you! You just enjoyed the freedom of walking! (I don't make you walk outside often right now because of the snow). We walked, very slowly, about half the way home. It was adorable and a memory I'll always cherish!
Dadda and I also put up some Christmas decor this weekend, I guess the snow made it more real that Christmas is quickly approaching. Because we are preparing to move and our rental is so small we opted for no tree this year. Instead we put up lights in the shape of trees on our windows. You seem to love it more than any of the real tress you've seen so far! You also love this little teddy bear your great aunt Toots got you, it reads the Christmas story and you think that is just wonderful, the smile you get as the bear reads is just so sweet and innocent. I pray you have this kind of joy all your life in one way or another!
I love you my peanut child!

Your Second Halloween {Parenting Fail}
Peanut,
So, to say your Dad and I are newbies at this parenting stuff is putting it lightly. Sometimes it's glaringly obvious you are our first child. Like this Halloween, your second. We had the brilliant idea of dressing you up and parading you all over town to see people....we didn't think about the fact that your costume (a Rooster!) didn't work in your car-seat, we ended up having to put you in and out of your costume over and over. Oh did I mention you don't like your car-seat right now? Hot mess.
You did great at the first house, Dad's co-worker and ok at the second which was my boss' home. But after driving clear across town and back to Aunt E's house you were totally over it. And understandably too. We spent a good 20 or so minutes there just letting you run around and play (you liked the cat and a stuffed spider Auntie had). But at 7:40p (10 mins after your regular bed time) you melted down and were totally done. We loaded you up once more and headed home.
The next day I let you enjoy your little bag of m&m's and you happily carried around a mini Almond Joy (where did that go anyway, ut oh!)
Needless to say next year we will be staying in our own neighborhood and letting people come to you! Next year you are going to get to enjoy it lots and lots like you should! Sorry about this year peanut! (Side note; for some reason I've been calling you peanut a lot lately.....even shortening it to Pea and you respond to me! Yikes, I should probably get better at calling you Liam!)
Much Love,
Momma

1st Cabin Trip of 2012
Dearest Liam,
You have just experienced your first vacation and I think you are addicted! Your Dadda and I took the week of the 4th of July off of work and headed to the family cabin with you. I hope you grow to love the cabin the same way your Dad does, he has fond childhood memories of it that he cherishes.
Dadda headed up there the night of 6/30 but you and I stayed behind to head up in the morning (as to avoid any Liam meltdowns in the car, you are a good baby in the car but who wants to risk it at 7pm?). Sunday morning I had the car pre-loaded so you and I headed up around 8am (since you usually nap around 9am). You could tell we were on an adventure, you looked around excited and happy for about 20 minutes then it was nap time! It only takes an hour to get to the cabin from our home and you woke up just before we turned off the highway, we happily made it there minus a Liam meltdown, score one for Momma!
The week was filled with relaxation. We woke when you woke, I napped when you napped (Dadda fished on the lake). We ate easy meals mostly prepared on the grill. It was glorious. One of my favorite things about the cabin is the lack of phone, cable or internet. I brought my runner's magazine and kindle to read and we watched disney dvds we brought (you have no interest in tv 99% of the time so it was mostly dad and I that watched those movies after you went to bed).
On Tuesday we took a afternoon hike to Morrell Falls, I wore you in our framed pack on the way up and Dadda wore you on the way out. (This would be the only workout I got the week before my first half marathon, to say I was nervous was an understatement.) After our hike we all enjoyed a ice cream treat at the little shop in town.
Wednesday was the 4th of July so G'ma and G'pa came up and we went into town to watch your first parade! You were in heaven, you carefully observed all the people (especially children) and each "float" that went by! You even enjoyed a ice cream cone with G'pa!
Thursday G'ma & G'pa wanted some Liam time so Dadda and I went up to Glacier National Park for the day. It's been a hobby of your Dadda and I to visit national parks when possible (we've been to three or hour together now). You went home with the grandparents that night and enjoyed a sleep over! After a long day in the park your Dadda and I went back to the cabin, packed up and returned home to pick you up in the morning.
That Sunday I would do my first half marathon, you and Dadda met me once on the route and at the finish line and I cried my eyes out. I hope someday you will love to hike and run with me my sweet boy!
Always your momma,
Momma

Your First Birthday Party
Yikes, how have I forgotten to write about this! Life has been so busy that it totally slipped by.
On June 23rd family and friends gathered at G'ma & G'pa's house to celebrate you. It was a warm, sunny day. We put out chairs and games for people to mingle. Aunt Emily baked several treats, we had fruit and drinks. We put up blue and green ballons as well as a big one with some red balloons, we had fun plates and table clothes with "First Birthday" on them. It was a warm and sunny day so we put out some games for people to play and chairs for other to sit and enjoy the day.
The day couldn't have gone better, it was low-key but so very fun, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. You don't love to be sang too but you actually enjoyed a few bites of homemade vanilla cake (you ate mostly fruit in true Liam fashion). We opened the gifts from family and friends, perhaps your favorite part because cousin Karmyn helped! She is three years older than you and loves you so much!
It's hard to believe you are one, I look at you and I'm just amazed by how much you've grown! I love you so much! -Momma

You hate cake
Sweet Liam,
Momma did not make a typo. On Thursday evening we gathered with your G'ma, G'pa, Auntie, Uncle and GG Turkey to celebrate your First Birthday! We waited too long to eat (Dadda was late getting off work) so you were a little grumpy during our song to you. I thought for sure you would love your cupcake....nope! You sip every bite out, even the frosting! You cried a little and ended up with cupcake and frosting all over yourself and the floor. I even had to give you a fast bath! You perked right up for presents, you got a bunch of new blocks and a little pool from the family, yay!!
Hopefully you like cake again by your birthday party next weekend! (It's ok if you don't!)
Much Love,
-Momma

Today You Turned ONE!
This morning at 9:56 am to be exact. I can hardly believe it! You are by far the sweetest, funniest, happiest child I have ever known! You have brought more joy to my life than I could have ever imagined, you are the light of my life and I cherish each moment with you!
Your Dadda and I went in and sang "Happy Birthday" to you as you woke up this morning, which you thought was great! I made you pancakes with apple butter and cut up blueberries and green grapes (your favorite breakfast), you gobbled that down in a heart beat! Everyone welcomed you with "Happy Birthdays", smiles and hugs at Nanna Annette's too! You probably think you are the king today and that is a-okay!
Tonight we'll head out to Grandma & Grandpa's house and have dinner with them and your Aunt and Uncle (and possibly Great Grandma Turkey). After dinner, which I'm going to let you have pizza YUM! You will get your first real treat, a cupcake! I'm not sure how I think you will react but I'm sure I'll always rememeber it! You are so special, you are the most amazing gift and a special blessing!!!
Happy First Birthday Liam!
I love you,
Momma

Your First Easter
Hey My Sweet Boy!
First I must apologize for being sick on your first Easter, I tried my hardest to kick this cold but I lost. Thursday night you slept over at G'ma & G'pa's while I slept for a good day and a half. Friday afternoon your Dadda picked you up, we had a nice dinner together and skipped the Easter Egg Hunt. Sunday we spent the day together as a family, picked up some new pants for you because you are growing so quickly! Sunday we went to church then out to G'ma & G'pa's to eat and hang out. You received a few toys from the Easter Bunny and played yourself to exhaustion. All in all I would say your first Easter was a success.
Love you more than you'll ever know,
Momma

Your First Christmas!
Dear Sweet Liam,
Can it really be? Your first Christmas has already come and gone, it seems impossible but it's true you are trucking right a long! What a special time it was! Christmas started off with a new tradition; on Christmas Eve morning it was just you, me and Dadda! We slept as long as you would let us (about 8:30am, not bad) and when you woke up we all enjoyed some breakfast then opened presents! Remember that Santa brings stocking gifts and Momma and Dadda bring the rest ;) You were more entertained with the crunchy tissue paper than the real gifts but that is ok by me! After a nap and some lunch we headed off to Church and had dinner with G'ma, G'pa, Auntie Kristen, and Great-G'ma Turkey, it was so much fun that you feel right asleep!
Christmas morning we all rose early, I prepared a baked oatmeal and Dadda got you ready and before we knew it we were off to G'ma and G'pa's house to spend the whole day! It was a fun time full of presents, laughing and lots of family time with the whole extended family! You favorite gifts are for the bath, they made you laugh and laugh! I hope I always remember how the simplest thing filled you with joy! Before we knew it the whole day was gone again and it was time to head home, all of us needed rest.
You are such a happy boy, I know I'm always saying that but it's so true! I'm so wildly blessed, beyond anything I could deserve, by getting to be your mom!
I love you so very much!

Christmas Songs
Dear Liam,
Last night as I finished up dinner you and Dadda were playing in the living room and listening to Christmas music. Dadda rarely, if ever, sings so I was humming along as the songs played. I could hear you babbling to Dadda as if singing to him, then the sweetest thing happened; Dadda starting singing to you very softly....my favorite Christmas song (Come All Ye Faithful). I just stood there soaking in the moment realizing this is a special memory in the making. I cherish these fleeting moments, I hold them close and pull them into my heart for safe keeping.
Happy Half Birthday My Love!

First Thanksgiving
Beautiful Liam,
Right now you are resting peacefully in your crib, tomorrow you will arise to a brand new holiday; Thanksgiving. I know this year it won't make much sense but it's my sincere prayer that in the years to come you will understand and enjoy this holiday. Each year we are surrounded by family, food and so much love. We have so much to be grateful for each day, you are at the top of that list. You are so very loved and I am above all thankful I get to be your Mom, it's the most important thing I will ever do.
With all my heart,
Momma

Holidays: Halloween
Sweet Liam,
Tomorrow is your second holiday (your first was the 4th of July) and while it's not my favorite it sure has new meaning now that you are here. Tomorrow I have a "My First Halloween" onesie for you to wear during the day and a body suit with glow-in-the-dark bones for the evening when we get trick-or-treaters. Next year we'll dress you up as something fun and maybe go out to a few houses. I so look forward to everyday but especially days like this, the memories are beyond priceless.
Until morning, sleep well baby-bones! Momma loves you!
