Hey All, a few weeks ago I posted a blog asking for help. Many of you came through and my buddy and his wife ended up winning the tickets to Hawaii!

Thanks for voting!

October? Where did you go?

How is it November 20th? My baby is going to be 1 next month! 1!!!!!

Life has been the norm lately. Busy. The Holidays are here and I don't feel prepared. Trying to figure out Christmas plans, Christmas gifts, and birthday plans. I need some ideas for Liam's first birthday. I know he doesn't care and won't remember his 1st birthday but I still want to do something fun for it. But how do you plan something that falls a few days after Christmas? I guess I need to figure it out. Because after he turns 1 he'll turn 2...3...4...

He loves playing in the fridge

October was an exciting month for Liam. All four of his top teeth arrived. He loves to bite his toys, his mom, and his blanket. You get the idea? He already has a tiny chip in one of them.

It. Is. Sharp. He loves to talk. He loves his Da-Da. He cried when Matt left the house the other night. It was so sweet/sad. He loves his blanket and his left thumb. They go hand in hand. If he sees his blanket his thumb goes directly to his mouth and he his head goes down. No matter if he is tired or not. If he isn't tired it will last a few seconds before he gets up and starts moving again. If he is tired he'll hold his blanket in the left hand as well. He looks like Linus from Charlie Brown. So cute.

He has learned how to climb onto one of the chairs in our living room. He thinks he is pretty cool. I was laying in front of the couch yesterday when I thought he was coming to cuddle with me. Nope. He stepped on my head and climbed up on the couch. Smart kid. He likes to walk with his "walker" and loves his elmo cell phone. He'll sit for 30 minutes "talking" on his phone. Pretty sure he is talking to his Da-Da. He still loves to eat, sleep and smile. We think he went through a growth spurt. Sleeping 13 hours at night and eating more than us at lunch. Some pants are now high waters. He had his first hair cut at the end of the month. More of a trim I guess because no one noticed it except us.

Found a bowl of Nolan's cereal while visiting Aunt Kate. He loved it!

Before 10/28/09

After

ummm.... I think that sums up the past few weeks of our lives. Liam. Liam. And more Liam.

Oh, and Matt's pretty ankle from Wednesday night basketball. Awesome

Happy Halloween

Halloween was a 3 day event for us this year. Liam had his first Halloween party with Trey and Lucy on Thursday. At one point I counted 20 kids. It was exhausting! Liam loved it and just stared at all the kids running around while trying not get get ran over. Although he wasn't sure of Tanya's costume... Love this tail

Friday we dressed up for the church party. I wrapped a box in Christmas paper and put a bow in my hair for the least expensive costume ever...a Christmas present. I had one mom tell me that she hoped her kids didn't figure out what I was. Guess she wasn't ready to think about Christmas. Liam enjoyed making a bag for trick or treating or maybe it was just so he could have an opportunity at trying to taste the markers...

Matt is telling me " I told you he would try to eat this"

Saturday we went trick or treating with the usual suspects . Liam seemed a little unsure but he was comfy and warm. We were loving the candy and compliments, " He is the cutest bear ever! Look at those eyes."

Excited for next year when he can knock all by himself!
