Terrific Two!

Despite my best efforts to stop him from growing and to keep him my baby forever, little Liam turned 2 yesterday. It has been a wonderful, challenging year. He has grown and changed so much! When he turned one, he wasn't even walking, now he is a running, climbing, talking, adventurous little boy. Every day is an exciting journey with Liam!

From this (at two days old, laying in the sun for his jaundice)
To this (on our last hike)
Cleaning up after I made his cake yesterday.
Playing outside with the neighbor kids yesterday afternoon. He really likes wearing Issy's bike helmet.
The Cake

Book and CD from Grammie and Grandpa (we read one of the books before bed and he actually sat still and loved it!)
Eating some of the delicious Chocolate Truffle Cake that Mommy made.

Playing with his stacking buckets and choo choo train from Mommy and Daddy.

I can't wait to give Liam a big hug in a few days. I love that Liam likes to talking to me on the phone it is so sweet and seems unreal at the same time. Look out for the powers of Annika and Liam combined while we visit :D

No kidding! I debated on that picture since it shows his icky cord stump, but I thought he looked adorable, so Icky Cord Stump picture made the cut. That is the first and last time he ever made an attempt to find his thumb.

Happy Birthday Liam, even though I missed your birth, I still feel like I was there.

I am going to my dads house tomorrow, so I can do a reenactment of my participation at the birth. Do you want to have Joe call me 10 times in two days and at least one time make it before 7 in the morning, please?
I miss you, my friend.
