Let the Birthday Festivities Begin!

February 26, 2009

So the big day is approaching fast...Liam is turning one!  We are starting to celebrate a little early with our Thursday infant playgroup.  I have made such great friends here in Michigan in such a short amount of time and can't believe how lucky we are.  Liam has some great little friends too...

After I had some play time with the other kids, Mr. Sleepy Head woke up and made an appearance at his own party and we had some cake!  Hmm, I made it and it was yummy!

Getting Into Mischief

February 24, 2009

As Liam gets more mobile he seems to be getting into more mischief.  Today I was on the phone writing down a recipe and he seemed very quite when I looked up he had completely unraveled a spool of tulle!  He had such a pleased look on his face when I asked him what he was doing.

Then the next day I was busy in the kitchen making dinner and he had managed to cruise, transfer and reach his way straight for the bathroom.  What a little rascal!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

February 16, 2009

Today was Mike's birthday, he had already got his big birthday gift...a fancy coffee machine.  Liam bought him something small, a shirt from the television show the office, Mike had a good laugh over it.  Mike and I went out for a quite dinner at The Chop House while Liam played with the babysitter and hit the sack early :)

Happy Valentine's Day

February 14, 2009

Happy Valentine's Day Liam!  Today we celebrated Liam's first Valentines Day.  He is the love of my life (next to Mike of course!).  Grandma Jean sent him this shirt that he has on in the photo and a really cute bib.  Grammy Jill also sent a box full of great toys....I think he might be a little spoiled!  Mommy and Daddy got him a ball...he loves it!

Beep, Beep

February 7, 2009

My parents bought Liam this car for Christmas.  We had to leave it at their house until I came back for another visit because the car was overflowing (surprise, surprise).  

It worked out well though because when I came home at the beginning of February my mom took Liam out in it.  He looked so cute but very serious at times holding onto the steering wheel with both hands!  He started to get the hang of the horn and smiled every time it beeped.

Paella

January 31, 2009

We used to go to a great restaurant in Birmingham called The Prairie Fire Grill, Mike especially loved their paella.  He missed it so much that he recently bought a paella pan and made it himself.  This one was a seafood one.  I loved it but unfortunately Liam could not have any because of the shell fish.

Sleigh Ride

January 29, 2009

One of my mom's friends found this sled in New York and had it shipped to us in Michigan...it is so much fun!  Liam is so comfy in it and smiles the whole time we are out and about in the neighborhood.  What a sight!

Even though the snow can be a challenge at times it really is a lot of fun and makes the winter bearable!
