12 Month Portraits

What a fun photo session Liam had for his 12 month portraits! We did Christmas pictures the same day so those are coming next. By the way, these are not near all of them. ; ) The first outfit Liam is wearing was made just for him by Aunt Cheryl. Liam and I explained to his photographer that this was not just any adorable outfit for this reason, and because each penguin you see represents one of "the triplets."

Liam had his own inspiration for the shots below. Gotta love giant rubber duckies and blocks!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy, I would love to spend your whole birthday with you.

We could kick back and relax....

...tell each other jokes...

...talk on the phone with Victoria...

...give each other hair do's...

...and, of course, PLAY as much as possible!

You are the best at that.

I look up to you a lot, Daddy.

I'm flattered that my favorite guy in the whole wide world wants to be just like me too. I love you to the moon and back, Daddy! HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY!!!

1 Year Old!!

One year ago today...
Now...Happy 1st birthday, Liam! You make every day like Christmas. You are so, so sweet. You love to give kisses. Getting a smile or a laugh from you is a huge reward, and you give both a lot. You love to be outside. We say "Good morning, outside!" each day when we let the puppies out. You love it when Mommy and Daddy both come to get you from your crib. We are your biggest fans. You love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. You are a good eater. Your favorite foods are oatmeal, peas, and sweet potatoes. You love bath time with Daddy. We go for a walk nearly every day. You are friendly and will wave at someone if they have not looked at you yet. You love dogs, especially yours. You appreciate a schedule and a timely nap. You love peek-a-boo, balls,anything that lights up, boxes you can climb into, blocks, and BOOKS. You bring me books to read every day. Your smile can light up a room. You are amazing inside and out. Mommy and Daddy love you more every day, sweety boy. BIG hugs, kisses, and butterfly kisses!!
