Facing Forward

 

What?? Our little man is big enough to face forward in his car seat?!

Better get to it, Daddy!

Liam has no problem keeping himself occupied in the front seat...

Wait a minute....

Hmmm....

Mission accomplished!

Liam loves facing forward! It's a whole new adventure. Eventually, his DVD player will make it's way back in front of him. For now, the novelty of this new adventure is enough.

I'm loving it too. It feels more like we're in the same "room." Also, I get to use my "Mommy mirror!" (No worries- taken in the drive way, of course!)

 

 

Here's a video of Liam's first car ride facing forward. Liam is talking up a storm now. He does still keep in touch with "Liam speak" too. We, of course, love it....we love what he loves. ; )

The Easter Bunny 2013!!

I was so excited for you to see The Easter Bunny this year, based on your interaction with Santa. We met Miss Jodi, Kaia, and baby Kash at the mall to go see him.

You were in your stroller and when I unbuckled you, you were off in a flash. You ran up to The Easter Bunny and gave him a BIG hug. You were so happy to be sitting with him.

 

 



After sitting with The Easter Bunny for a good amount of time you said "Bye, bye bunny!" You waved at him all the way back to your stroller, happy as could be.



I would say that Kash's first interaction was a huge success!

Kaia was not so easily convinced that sitting in The Easter Bunny's lap was the thing to do...

Besides, there were so many other things to look at!



 

 They did end up with a very cute picture! 

 

 After Liam's sit with The Easter Bunny we walked the mall a bit to let Kaia decide that she was ready to sit with him. When we went back Liam wanted to say "hi" again. I am thrilled that I got this on video! It happened so quickly the first time!

"Please, me stir?"

 

Liam loves ice so he had it while we were playing outside, along with his water. 

I had a glass of ice water, which is what he is asking to stir.

 I love the way he moves his body telling me what he wants to do.

"Please, me stir?"

Kissing Whole Milk "Bye Bye"

Liam LOVES milk. We recently decided that it was time to transition to 2%. We went slowly, 3/4 whole milk to 1/4 2% etc. He didn't really notice a difference. This was nowhere near the heartache and culture shock of switching from Mommy's milk to cows milk.

:)

T-Ball!!

Liam got a few very cool things from Great Granny and Great Grandpa for Christmas...

T-ball was one of them!

Liam was very excited when I brought it outside and ready to get a few lessons from Daddy.

 

Home run!

He catches on quickly...

 

Gotta make sure the wind is blowing in his favor!

 

It's safe to say that T-ball is a huge hit!

No Ice Cream, Please

Everyone loves ice cream, right? Especially a toddler who loves milk and crushed ice, right?

Wrong!

 On Valentine's Day I had a special treat for Liam, an ice cream cone! He had tried ice cream before.

He wasn't crazy about it, but didn't love it. I thought that introducing the ice cream cone side by side with his play one would give him a good perspective...

He didn't buy it.

 I did get him to taste it. He didn't spit it out but, again, wasn't crazy about it. He also wanted me to wipe it off his mouth (not a fan of being messy). Then, for some reason, I think he was trying to figure out a way to let me know that he really didn't want it...

 ...just a thought...

He wasn't thrilled about me sitting it upright...

 ,,,but he took care of that himself and all is right in the world. Also, Mommy got to have an ice cream cone!

Liam may not be a big fan of ice cream yet but he's as sweet as he can be all on his own!
