Christmas Eve

After the Christmas Eve service at church we went to G.G.'s for her annual Christmas Eve Party!

G.G. got Liam a tickle me elmo!  He wasn't too sure about it :-)

crawling away from elmo

What?  a smile!?!

G.G. also got Liam this cool truck!
He loves the music it plays.

 We too got to open a gift!

 Christopher opening his gift from Grandma....

What? I wasn't suppose to open this one?

The New Nook Tabl

Well, since I already saw it...

Playing with his new truck!

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Early Christmas in Boston

 Friday December 16th Liam and I went to our friends house to celebrate Christmas before we all left for the holidays!

 Anna was showing Liam how to open his present.

Clara and Anna seemed to really enjoy the opening process.  It was so much fun to watch them!

Thank you so much Christiane, Anna, Marlene, and Clara for such a fun evening!

The Night before we left for Texas we let Liam open one of his presents.  It worked for us as then we didn't have to pack it and take it with us :-)

He loved the bow Mama made!

He was a bit tired....

9 Months Old!

Wow.... 9 months!  Liam turned nine months on Thanksgiving Liam had his well baby check up and weighted in at 20 lbs 10 oz.!!  He is growing like a weed.

This last month our little crawler is becoming a walker!  We bought him this push cart, which he LOVES!, to help him develop his walking legs.  The first time he tried it he had a little tumble, but he was all smiles...like he was proud of himself.  He walks with our hands all the time now and he even has enough balance now to walk with just one of our hands!

I can't believe Liam will be walking soon.  Time has really escaped me.  I love our little Moose more and more each day, which I didn't think it was possible to love him more.  He amazes me, and I love watching him learn and develop.

For Thanksgiving we went to a friends house here in Boston to celebrate.  We had a lot of fun, the food was great, and the kids all had a great time playing!

Liam's First Snow

On October 30th we had our first snowfall of the season.  So of course we had to take Liam out in it.  We bundled him up in his winter suit and headed down the street to the park. 

The nice snow from the early morning was more like ice pellets now.

 

This is when he decided it wasn't so cool anymore.

Mama to the rescue...

Poor baby.  I think his hands got too cold.  So we reverted to the ever so popular swing!

8 Months Old!

Our Little man is 8 months old!

He now has 2 teeth!  Can walk while pushing something, rather it be a box or a toy.  He lets us know when he's finished (he waves is hand or shakes his head).  He dances; sways is more like it.  Liam got sick for the first time this last month and it was hard to see him so uncomfortable.  We are very thankful that he is feeling better.  He is our world and we wouldn't have it any other way.
