Liam LOVES his daddy. Right now Shane has a pretty crazy school schedule. Wednesdays are the tougher days. Shane leaves for school around 9 and doesn't get back until 9 pm then he has to work the night shift at our job from 9:30 til 7:30 am... and then he sleeps for most of the day - So I don't typically see him for 36 hours straight. It's so interesting to see how Liam realizes when Shane isn't around. When Shane walks in the door after a being gone for so long Liam just grins from ear to ear and gets so excited. He flaps his arms and squeals in excitement. If he is down playing he will bolt off as fast as his little arms can move in Shane's direction! It is so fun to see how much he loves his daddy!
He loves to clap and if he wants to give you a special treat will give you a high five or wave but he most often claps especially when he is getting food! (we are confused if this is sometimes him signing "more" or just being excited to eat...)
We have taught Liam sign language for a while now, and other than what we think is "more" he isn't signing back to us yet but it is so awesome to see that he understands what we are saying to him. When ever it is time for him to eat, we will do the sign and he will grunt and smack his lips and get excited or upset until we give him food. Or, if I am going to feed him I will sign to him "milk" and he will do the same thing and get so excited! Anytime we do signs having to do with food, or he sees any kind of food, he will spit his paci right out getting ready. It is the cutest thing and so funny to watch. Sometimes when I'm about to feed him I will put his pacifier in just so I can see him spit it out... haha. Really though, it's that cute!
Speaking of food, still no teeth for little man. Which is such a bummer since he loves it so much and it really limits what he can eat...
He also loves bath time and slaps and slashes the water. If we are giving him a shower he will put his head completely in the stream. He hasn't been to keen on swimming. We have gone a few times now and he will do it but just doesn't seem to enjoy it as much as bath time.... We hope he will start to enjoy it more as he gets older!
I can't believe in less than 3 months it will have been a year since little man joined our family! Time just goes so quickly. Every stage is SO much fun and we love watching him change and grow...even though he keeps us...SO BUSY!
Even though he is so curious and loves to crawl around and play, he still loves to cuddle and be held which I LOVE!! He never goes too long without wanting some mamma time!
On Friday, Liam had his very first day at theme park. We went to Lagoon and had a family day. He watched his dad ride all the rollercoasters and waited with mom. But he did ride the carrousel and thought that was pretty exciting!
Last month we took our first trip to Yellowstone! Shane and I had never been before. It we was a quick two day trip but it was so fun! Liam was a great little traveler and slept almost the whole way to Jackson hole. We spent the night there in a hotel and ventured around the main street square! Such a cute little town. We really enjoyed all the shops and had a yummy dinner and a cute little restaurant called the.....something? I can't remember. haha. The next day we went through the grand Tetons and up to Yellowstone. We soon realized that Liam couldn't care less about any of it haha but he was still a trooper for all of the hustling and bustling. Shane and I were so excited to see Ole faithful! we timed our lunch just right so we could make it over, and we waited in anticipation for this "big explosion". Lucky us, we chose the exact seat where all the steam drift.. completely covering or view of the geyser. We had a good laugh about it at least. Liam really loved Shane carrying him around in a baby back pack that our co-worker let us barrow. He thought we was pretty cool sitting up there so high with his daddy! That night we decided to test our survival skills and camp out in Yellowstone park. We had fun making popcorn and baked potatoes and spam sandwiches on the fire. We were pretty proud of our selves . There were bear warning signs EVERYWHERE and we were so scared we would do something wrong and get eaten in our sleep... fortunately that didn't happen because unfortunately it was a little early for camping up here and was freakin' freezing...soooo we ended up sleeping in the car with our nice heated seats most of the night. haha. Some campers we are. On the way home we stopped at bear world.....kind of a waste of time. But Liam enjoyed driving in the front seat through the park.
Other than Liam, we are pretty lame haha! Shane stays busy with school and is loving going to the U. We hopefully only have one more year until graduation and then we can start looking for dental schools. We get so excited when we think of our future and how short a years time is...we realize that as we look back on this past one. We know it will just fly by! And I am just a mommy and stay busy taking care of my boys and working full time!
Hopefully... my next post wont be a year out haha!
