Liam's 1st Birthday!

Today Liam woke up to the entire house all decorated in Happy 1st Birthday signs, streamers, balloons. Liam LOVED it! He looked all around and smiled at the fun colors and balloons. We had breakfast and headed to Sea World in San Antonio for Liam's party. We decorated Liam's stroller up with Happy 1st Birthday streamers and Liam wore his Happy 1st Birthday outfit. When we arrived Liam was given a special Happy Birthday pin from Sea World. We met up with cousin Scott & Jackie, and Grammy. Liam had so much fun! We saw the dolphins, fish, sharks, penguins, whales seals. Liam LOVED the VIVA show which featured fun music, whales, and acrobats. He watched in amazement while the whales jumped tot he music and he loved watching the acrobats jump and dive in the water.  We were so surprised how much he enjoyed it. He made it the entire day ( 12 noon - 6 p.m.) It was such a beautiful day and the temperature was just right for us all to enjoy it. We bought Liam a Sea World shirt and some puppets that he LOVED! We all had a blast with the Birthday Boy!

When we came home we sang Happy Birthday to Liam and he at his yummy race car cake. It was so cool! It was red and had the #1 on the top and it said "Happy 1st Liam" on the bumper. Liam loved his chocolate cake and ice cream! 

After cake & ice cream Liam opened up all his presents! He received so many presents and loved opening them all.

LIAM'S 1st Birthday

Covered in cake and icing,
Your smile stretched ear to ear.
A single candle celebrates,
The joy of your first year.

We sing Happy Birthday,
You play midst wrap and bows.
We marvel at how you touched our lives,
Just one year ago.

I remember the first time I held you,
Kissed your head, whispered your name.
You've changed our lives forever,
Our hearts will never be the same.

As a child you'll love this day,
For all the sweets and presents too.
As parents we'll love your day,
For the gift we got was you.

Each year we'll add another candle,
So proud to see you grow.
But always with the memory,
Of your first day long ago.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Love Mommy & Daddy 

Liam's first Chuck E Cheese Visit!

Today we celebrated Daddy's 41st birthday at Chuck E Cheese! Liam is so lucky to have a Daddy who wanted to spend his special day playing with his son. It was Liam's first time. He had fun running around and riding the car, merry go round, and eating pizza. He seemed a little cranky today we hope he isn't getting sick. He just wasn't himself at times. He was tired when we got home and went right to bed. Hopefully he'll be feeling better tomorrow.

Liam The Crawler!

It's hard to believe but Liam just started to crawl! He is so strong now and can push himself up on all fours and crawls forward a few times (most 5 times) and then he falls down. He is starting to explore everything and soon Chris & I will have our hands full!

I Love My Bath!

Liam loves taking his bath! I am so blessed and I hope it will continue.  He LOVES his inflatable duck tub especially when it quaks. I sing the Rubber Ducky song to Liam while I get him ready and he just smiles and laughs and gets so excited. At first he was scared of the duck tub and it took a few times for him to get use to it but now he loves it!

Liam 6 months 3rd Round of Shots

Today Liam had his 3rd round of shots at 6 months. We had his shots done in Texas. Liam was a brave little guy..he let out a good scream this time but he calmed down really quickly with Mommy afterwards and he slept most of the day.  

It's Official...We're Going To Be TEXANS!

It's official Liam is now a Texan.  We did the big move to New Braunfels Texas. We are so happy to be in a kid friendly town. The people we've met so far have been wonderful and there is so much to do here from swimming, to museums, waterparks etc. Its really the perfect place for Liam to grow up and we are so happy we made the move.  Liam has adjusted to his new home very well. We had to stay in San Antonio for a week while we waited for our stuff to arrive in the POD. We moved in our house finally on March 7th.
