Party!

Last night was Liam's 1st birthday party. We had about 35 people over at our house. That consisted of both sets of grandparents. Siblings from both sides minus one brother from the Dunn side. Their spouses and their kids and one of Paul's uncles. It was certainly a full house, but we are so glad that all of them could make it. We had pizza, pasta, salad and garlic bread for dinner. Thankgoodness I had enough for everyone with some last minute adjustments. For dessert we had cupcakes, cake, pie and ice cream, which was more than enough for everyone to go home with full bellies. Liam had his own froggy cake to dive into. At first he was taking it slow, just swipping his little finger across the top of the frosting but by the end he was digging in. He got lots of fun toys that should keep him plenty busy until christmas. Oh also just wanted to mention we had blown up balloons and had them all over the house for younger guests to play with and Liam we found out is not a fan of balloons! Thankyou all so much who came and gave gifts both the wrapped kind. and giving kind! We love you all!

Warning major picture overload!
P.S. Just so you know all the pictures with the red cup, Liam loves water and the red cup is filled with water, he wanted that cup of water over all the gifts he was getting! This kid is so weird ketchup and water he loves!

Birthday Fun

On Liam's birthday, first as I have already blogged, we did a photo shoot in the morning. After that we came home and took a nap. Then once he was rested and fed we headed off for espee park in Chandler. He had alot of fun, but like always was more interested in the dirt and rocks than the water. I did get him to play in the water for a little while. After the water park we hit some stores and got him some new shoes and a ball pitt. I had been debating getting him one for weeks and finally just decided to get it for him. The first time I put him in it he was terrified. But now a few days later he is warming up to it. Liam's birthday night we took him to Texas roadhouse. He had had such a busy day that he was such a crank, but I got a few good pictures with him in his birthday shirt and a few with mom and dad. I think he had a pretty good day. He will be having his birthday party with cake, presents and family tommorow night. Should be lots of fun!

One year older and wiser too!

My baby is one year old today. He woke up 4 min after he was actually born last year. Born at 5:35 in the morning. I cannot believe a year has past since that day. One of the best days of my life. When I finally got to set on eyes on this precious little boy. I cannot express the joy I felt when I finally got ot meet him. Liam has been such a fun little person to take care of and watch grow. These days he is all over the place and quite a handful. He really does try my patience every day but also puts a smile on my face everyday. I am so honored to be his mother and love him so much. Happy birthday my little boy.

Today marks the last month under one

Liam is eleven months old as of today. I can't believe I only have one month before I will have a one year old. I have been trying to figure out what I am going to do for his birthday. This month we are kinda tight on money and work is pretty slow, which makes it hard to pick up shifts. We are going to Utah at the end of the month to visit Paul's brother, so I think we can consider that part of the celebration. I think what we will do for Liam's celebration of his birth is have both sides of our immediant family come over to share dinner, presents and dessert with us. So this past month Liam has offcially eight teeth! He is my little beaver baby and chews on everything! I mean everything, including me and Paul's noses. He is an excellent walker and now practices running back and forth in whatever room he is in. He looks so darn cute running around with his little body. Liam, according to our scale has hit the 20lb mark and is in a front facing big boy car seat. He likes to look out the front window and see where we are headed. Liam loves cars and pretty much anything with wheels. He likes to be included in whatever we are doing and hates to be left alone. He only sleeps in his crib, all night long with the blanket his nanna made him, stroller or car seat, in the moving car. We just love our little man and can't wait to see what else he will master before he is a year old.
