Ten Months

Here we go....another month down, another month closer to one! Wow, time really does fly by.
Here is our goofball of a boy:


  • He has moved very quickly from learning to crawl to almost walking. He can and will stand on anything. He will walk along furniture and uses his push toy to get from one side of the house to the other. He will push furniture around and has taken one step by himself already (although it was by complete accident). 
  • He can stand now with confidence! I'm no longer nervous when he lets go of things. 
  • He is very noisy and will make his presence known in a room very quickly. 
  • He is starting to get a bit shy around strangers and will often play coy. Along with this shyness, he is starting to get a bit attached to Preston and I and is starting to not want to be held by others. 
  • His sleeping has become a bit more consistent (although I am sure I am just totally and completely jinxing myself by saying that). For the most part, he sleeps through the night (7-7) and I'm finally feeling like I am no longer in a fog. 
  • His sign language is getting good and he can sign more and all done, we are working on please and thank you. 
  • He is starting to have purpose to his play. He will try to put objects into things and will try to find them when Callie and I hide them. He will purposely open things and put toys inside and then close it back up. 
  • He truly recognizes many words - milk and no being the most familiar with him :-) He has no down but often will laugh and continue whatever he is doing (not boding well for Preston and I). 
He has officially become a boy and is no longer my little baby!

Aunt Sarah has taught him how to stand up in his crib and he is so happy about it! :-)
It takes him a bit longer to fall asleep now - the whole process involves some jumping in bed before he crashes

And this picture about sums up his personality....

We had a day off preschool and enjoyed a cold, cold, cold trip to the zoo with Amy and Clara (Liam looks thrilled - ha!)

Buddies!

Callie gets very upset if you go and get Liam out of his bed without her - she has become his morning wake up....he loves it (sometimes). It is a bit shocking....involves an immediate light turned on and then a "good morning Buddy" as loud as she can and then she crawls onto his crib to wait for him to meet her (I swear she would crawl in if I let her)

A daily occurrence......he has found a great way to entertain himself during cooking. It involves taking EVERYTHING out of the cupboards that he can reach. I've had to move some things around :-)

We headed to the Children's museum which was super fun because Liam was able to get out and explore

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...
