My "baby"

This is a more for me post but if you want to listen to whats going on inside my head read on.  I feel like I should do a post that is not all pictures and party's.  I just love Liam so much and I love going back to the first post after I had him and read through how I was feeling at the time.  Josh had a Birthday the day before Liam's (October 5th) he turned the big 28.  We got a babysitter that night and went out on a date.  On our way home I couldn't help reminiscing our first date, our wedding, the first time I saw Josh hold Liam and how much love I feel as a family, driving home from the hospital, and now my baby is one!  Josh thinks i am emotional 24-7.....ok guilty, I'm a woman.  I started sobbing (tears of joy) for where my life is.  I am so blessed.  My life could've gone a few different paths, and I am so glad that I chose this one.  I have an amazing husband and a happy healthy beautiful baby boy, along with many other blessings.  Nothing makes me more happy then having my baby walk over to me and give me a kiss, or snuggle in my lap even if he only holds still for 30 seconds.  This past week Liam has been blowing kisses, giving smooches and waving goodbye to dad before bed.  When josh hits his own forehead and say "ah nuts" Liam busts up laughing.  Josh had him laughing so hard last night his eyes were streaming with tears.  Liam is like his dad always fidgeting or making a noise.  He loves to click his tongue, hit things with his hammer, clap his hands, pat his head, and he LOVES to dance.  Wether it's music or just a rythym he is shaking his booty, pumping his chest, or bobbing his head.  When I listen to the radio in the car and the hosts laugh Liam starts laughing with them.  He loves ANY dog.  He carries his blankie with him everywhere.  He climbs on everything.  As soon as he hears the bath water running he screams in excitement, this kid loves the water.  He is very fond of the heat ducts (weird, right?).  I am sure I will think of a billion more things after I post this but for not I am glad that I could document my thoughts.

Happy First Birthday Liam!

 Liam baby turned 1 last week!  I can't believe how fast this past year has gone by.  The last few weeks have been filled with a lot of "a year ago today we were..."  I wouldn't change anything about this little guy.  He has been such a good and easy baby.  We love his energetic and very social personality.  Every where we go people are always stopping to talk to Liam and he acts like they are his best friend.  He is walking around with ease and having many animated conversations in a language we can't understand.  The last few weeks we have been singing "Happy Birthday" to him and he lights up and dances.  He LOVES dancing and is always bopping up and down to any sort of noise or rhythm.  We had a very enjoyable birthday party with family and friends and Liam was so spoiled!  It was a "mini" party with mini decorations, mini party hats, mini desserts, and mini invitations.  We did a cake smash but Liam couldn't quite figure out what to do (distracted from loving the attention with everyone watching to see what he would do.)  He poked at the cake a little, rubbed some frosting on his face, rubbed his face on the cake, and then sat there like....OK I'm done.  I can't wait to see more and more of how this little guy is going to grow up....but not to fast!  We love you not so "baby" Liam!
