20 Months!

Our sweet baby boy is 20 months today!  We had a great day, it was even sunny and warm.  Makes a happy baby and a happy mama.  We are both so much happier when we can get outside and play.  What a difference it makes.

Liam is obsessed with airplanes.  Every time he hears or sees one he gets so incredibly excited.  And then when the airplane is out of sight he signs more and says, "more, more, more."  I say, "more what?"  And he says "airplanes."  Whenever we are outside he's always looking and as soon as he hears one his head is up and he's searching.  Anyway, this morning he wanted to play the bed game, a game that Joe always plays with him (basically just rough housing on our bed), so I played with him but then he fell back into all of the pillows and just cuddled up against me.  He said, "phone" and the "airplane" so I knew what he wanted.  Wanted to watch airplanes on my phone!  I searched YouTube for planes taking off and landing and then I decided to search for the Blue Angels.  Found so much and he was totally fascinated.  He cuddled and watched with me for at least 30 minutes.  I LOVED it!  I have a love for airplanes and flying, so it was right up my alley.

Really can't believe my baby is 20 months.  He is so smart, so happy, so full of life.  I love it and everything about him, even though at times I feel like I'm a zoo keeper!  At the end of everyday, no matter how crazy of a day it has been, I always end up laughing about it.  He's definitely got me wrapped around his finger.  And I'm ok with that.  :)

Happy 20 months, buddy!

Birthdays, holidays, life......it's been busy.

I knew it had been ages since I had last blogged but I didn't realize it had been over two months.  Yikes!  I feel like a total failure when it comes to documenting things.  I'm horrible at writing things down in Liam's baby book, totally slacking on pictures lately and I don't even blog.  I guess someday if Liam wants to know something I'll just have to look back on Facebook.  As much as I despise it sometimes, I feel that's the only thing I update consistently.  Oh well, can't dwell on it, right?  Just enjoying the moments as they come!

We had a wonderful Father's Day weekend.  We went up and spent the weekend with my in-laws.  Liam always has such a great time when he goes up there.  As soon as we turned the corner to drive up their hill, he knew where we were and started saying, "Papa, papa, papa, papa."  He is totally in love with both of his grandpas.  Or papas as he calls them.  Papa this, papa that...it's all about the papas!  We went to a graduation party on Saturday and Liam fell in love with all the girls that were there, especially the youngest, an adorable 5 year old.  He was eating a piece of cheese when she got there and immediately started rubbing her leg.  No joke.  He is a total flirt!  She was being really nice but started looking a little nervous.  He ran off to do something else after a few minutes and she said, "He's so cute but his hands are grubby."  Haha.  She was right.  I wouldn't want grubby cheesy hands rubbed on me either!  After we washed his hands she was good to go and followed him everywhere.  He loved getting attention from all 3 of these girls!  They were reading at the end of the night and he crawled up on the bed, snuggled up to them and started saying, "night night, night night."  It was so adorable, a memory I never want to forget.

Yesterday we went on a bike ride and then had a BBQ with the rest of the family before we headed back home.  Delicious food, great company....it was a great weekend all-around.  I am so thankful for all of the dads in my life and for an amazing husband and 'dada' for my sweet little guy.  We are so blessed!

I can't take credit for this picture, my friend Cassandra took it when we went to pick strawberries last week.  SO much fun.  Although Liam eats more than he ends up taking home. :)
