Happy Birthday 2011!

It seems like 2010 went by so quickly.  So many memories and milestones for our little family. Liam turned one, Jake ran his first ultra marathon, I started working weekends, Liam walked, we made many road trips to Indiana, and so much more.  I am truly grateful for all the moments and memories whether they are big or small, they are what made our 2010.  We had a busy and fun trip home to Indiana for Christmas.  We celebrated 3 family Christmas and Liam got a ton of presents. Santa was really nice to him!!

2011 is going to be a year of change for us and it is going to be bittersweet.  Jake will be graduating in May and then we will hopefully be moving back to Indiana.....all fingers and toes crossed.  It will mean leaving our first home.  This is the place where we started our married life, left family for the first time, had our first baby, watched Liam take his first steps in. I started my first nursing job here. I will miss the amazing friends I have made here and miss all the amazing people I work with.  Well, now moving on to a lighter topic...Liam!

He is become quite the mischievous little boy.  He is in to everything he can get his little paws on.  His new favorite activities are opening the fridge and then removing various bottles, soft drinks, vegetables, food, etc.  He will occasionally put things back but for the most part he just likes to open the door and hang on to the shelf and stand there. Activity number two that he likes is climbing up on everything.  He climbs on our bed, on chairs, the toilet climb is by far his most difficult maneuverer. I have taken a video of him doing something toilet climbing, some of his latest tricks and silly things he does.  He has started to shake his head "yes" and "no", sometimes it is in context and then every once in a while he shakes it to be silly.  He still loves the dogs and he now love chasing them around with his shopping cart and his little chompin mower.  They are not really amused by this but are the best and go with the flow.  He is constantly grabbing Sophie by her ears and pulling her leg.  Steve is harder for him to catch because Steve resists his loving a little more.  They will be sitting on the couch and Liam will pounce on Steve and back him into the corner.  Liam squeezes him and Steve's way of fighting back is to lick Liam 777,000 times until Liam lets go.  Steve then hi-tails it off the couch.  Liam has also acquired another little toof!! His 7th tooth came in next to the bottom left one.

Here are some funny videos of wild pants McGee....Hope you enjoy!!
