Obsessed!

December 22, 2008

A friend of my mom's sent a present to him as a welcome into the world gift so we let him open it before Christmas. It is a Mickey Mouse push toy that is an airplane, the propeller goes around and lights up and plays music; it is really cute. Apparently Liam thought so too because he was obsessed with the toy.

He like to play next to it, pressing buttons and stopping the propeller with his hands.

He liked to sit on top of it.

He liked to have you push him through the house on it.

And he liked to walk behind it like a big boy and push it all by himself!

No matter which way he played with this toy he was a happy boy. Thanks Donna for remembering him and picking out the best gift ever!

Visiting Family in Chicago!

December 2008

We headed to Chicago a little early to avoid another snow storm and while we were there we had a chance to visit with some family.

We went to see Aunt Cyndy and Uncle Ziggy and boy was it cold that day. Chicago had record breaking temps in the negatives but that did not stop us! We had a great time, Liam played with Aunt Cyndy and was all smiles.

Liam opened up his first Christmas gifts at Aunt Cyndy's too! He loves his tugboat for the bath tub and Mommy loves his new clothes that are super warm. Thanks Aunt Cyndy and Uncle Ziggy :)

The next day we headed off to visit with Mike's mom. These visits are always "interesting" and I was hoping for something quick and uneventful. It actually turned out better than either of us could of imagined. We took her to a local restaurant and Liam served as a great distraction. I mean who can't love that kid? She spent some time reading to him from one of his favorite books. Overall it was pleasant and very surprising...Merry Christmas to us!

Let It Snow!

December 19, 2008

Everyone told us that it snowed a lot here in Michigan but until you live with it you just can't grasp the amount of snow we get. In the last few days we have gotten probably at least 2 feet of snow!

Liam, the dogs, and I went for a walk in it today. Only our street was cleared so I stuffed Liam into his snowsuit and baby Bjorn Carrier and off we went. What a sight we were...2 dogs in coats, a lady in a winter coat with a baby hanging off the front in a snowsuit!

As much as the snow is a pain in the butt we have a lot of fun with it too, otherwise we would not survive! Although in the pic below Mike does not look like he is having too much fun :) ha ha!
