Happy Birthday, Liam!!

This little man is finally one!!! I made his shirt myself with iron-on appliques from Michael's. I was quite proud of myself! 

He loves to play with our toothbrushes and mimics what we do with them. Including putting them back in the holder. 

We went to Liam's one year check-up today. He is growing like a weed. He was 31 inches tall and 24 pounds, 6 ounces. He has lost a few ounces now that he is on the go. He is in the 75 percentile for height and the 90 percentile for weight. 

Liam is starting to stand more and more on his own. If something is close enough, he will take a step towards it. 

This is what it's like around my house all of the time...

constant wrestling!! I need a girl!

My parents got Liam this chair for his birthday. Now he and Kale can chill out and watch Curious George together! 

We took the boys to Great Wolf Lodge this weekend to celebrate Liam's birthday. We did a smash cake before we left though. 

Liam was not really into the cake at all. Kale demolished his smash cake...Liam pretty much just looked at his. This was shocking to me, knowing how much Liam enjoys food!

Kale loved getting to eat cake and ice-cream at 10 o'clock in the morning!

I tried to tempt Liam by giving him a small taste of icing...but nothing seemed to elicit much of a response from him. 

I took a before picture of Liam and this is the "after" picture. Looks pretty much like the "before" picture did. He really was not messy at all. 

This car was Liam's birthday present from us. Kale has a little four-wheeler that they try to ride together but it will hardly move with both of them on it. Liam can't drive the car yet, but we know he will be able to soon! We also bought Liam stock in Johnson & Johnson...Kris' thing he does for the boys for each special event. And I made Liam a special book that was kind of like a year in review. I was very happy with the way it turned out. He got lots of toys, a cookie monster shirt, some money for his college fund and numerous other items. He is one spoiled boy and Christmas isn't even here yet!
