My Little Liam is 11 Months Old!!! Already??

How can it be that my BABY is about to turn 1?!?!?!  Babies sure don't stay babies for long! :(  Liam, you are the sweetest, happiest, and most adorable baby boy and we have just LOVED every moment of the last 11 months! We are so blessed to be able to watch you learn and grow each day (even though I wish time would SLOW DOWN... haha!)

I know I'm a tad biased since I am your Momma, 

but you are without a doubt the CUTEST 11 month old EVER!!!

Those cheeks!!!

I can't believe you were once smaller than Mr. Monkey! 

Oh, how much you've grown!

Momma won't mind one bit if you decide to slow down and take your time growing up!! ;)

 Here's a few things we are loving this month...

(because it'd be impossible to list them all!)

• You are pulling up to standing on EVERYTHING! :)
• You will walk if we hold onto your hands!!! You are SO BIG!
• You LOVE to get into anything and everything! ;)
• You love to crawl under things... especially the kitchen table! lol
• You are a Momma's boy! If Momma walks by you and doesn't stop to pick you up, you certainly object!!
• If we hold you up to a light switch, you can turn it on and off!!
• You officially have tubes in your ears!!! Hopefully you are a healthy boy from here on out! :)
• You absolutely LOVE food! You are wanting milk less and less.  
• You talk constantly and it is soooooooo cute! You have little conversations with us and tell us all kinds of stories, even though we don't understand any of it! lol  We can definitely make out "ma-ma," and "da-da," though!! Yay!!!
• You are almost in 18 month clothing.  Most of it is a little big, but your 12 month clothing is getting a tad snug.  
• You LOVE to go for rides on your train or in our Cozy Coupe Car!! You have the biggest smile on your face every time!
• You are crawling up on your hands and knees!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more army crawl for our big boy!!
• You are slowly starting to eat table foods!! :)
• You REFUSE to go to sleep on your own in your bed!! You cry and cry for momma when we lay you down. You are such a turkey!!  lol  Momma can't stand to let you cry, so I always go get you and rock you!! We'll get there one day! ;)
• You have the cutest little chipmunk cheeks that I absolutely can't get enough of!!!
• You are Mr. Social! You LOVE getting tons of attention from anyone and everyone!
• You like to follow your brother around and go after his toys! He's not a huge fan of that! lol
• You are the sweetest, happiest, and most lovable 11 month old we know! We just can't get enough of you!

Here's a few of our favorite moments with you this month...

Playing under the table! :)

You pull up on everything... including Momma!

Such a cute little cheese-er!

More pulling up to standing!! :)

In the car one day, you pulled off your sock just so you could chew on your toes! lol

You could hear Connor in there getting a bath, and you wanted in sooooooo bad! LOL

Momma's little laundry helper! You LOVED the basket! :)

Taking a ride before ear surgery!!

Dada caught you on camera pulling up to standing for the first time!! :)

We love you so much, Liam! Happy 11 months, sweet boy! We can't wait to see what all you have in store for us next month!  It will be so bittersweet to see you turn one!!! It is such a sweet moment, but also so sad to have your baby year behind us! Nevertheless, you are a wonderful blessing and we are so lucky that God gave you to our family! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Connor's 32 months!!!

Oh, Connor! How are you growing up so fast??  I have to say that you are such a special blessing and your daddy and I just LOVE you so much!  As I'm writing this, you are laying in your bed, and I can hear you singing, "5 little monkeys sitting in tree, teasing Mr. Alligator, "Can't catch me! Can't catch me!" Along comes Mr. Alligator, and SNAP!!! 4 little monkeys..."  I can't help but smile!!! (Even though you should be asleep!!! lol) You are the cutest 2 year old we have ever met!  Each day you amaze us as we watch you learn and grow!  Here's a few of our favorites from this month:

• You completely shocked me in the car one day by pointing to a stop sign and saying, "Octagon!" WHAT?!?! lol
• You have discovered Play-doh and LOVE it!

  

  Big Smiles!!

• We bought you a doctor kit, and now you talk about how Elmo is sick and needs a shot.  ;)

• 

  Poor Elmo! lol  I love how you are wearing your Dr. Love shirt too!!

• You are in a big Elmo kick again.  You are always wanting to play with Elmo or watch Elmo on tv or the ipad.
• We are going to see ELMO LIVE!!!! Your mamaw and papaw bought you and Tyler tickets for your Easter present! We are sooooooooooooo excited to go!!! :)
• When your friends are upset, you have started patting them on the back and saying, "Aww, it's okay!" So sweet!
• You have some moments where you are not as fond of your baby brother... we're working on that one! LOL  It doesn't help that he wants EVERY toy you pick up! Haha!
• You talk NON-STOP! lol and I love every minute of it!
• You are Mr. Social. You have to say hi and bye to EVERYONE! :)  You are soooooooooo adorable when you do it, too!
• You were a little leery of "moon dough" when momma first made it for you, but now you LOVE it!  It is super messy, but also super fun!

  

  Moon Dough FUN!!

• You are really into dinosaurs at the moment. So fun!
• You can't get enough of Elmo... Elmo's World, Elmo apps on the ipad, Elmo toys, Elmo clothes, Elmo stuffed animals, Elmo plates and utensils... ELMO, ELMO, ELMO!! :)

My sweet, smart boy!

You are the most adorable, lovable, energetic, and fun toddler we know! We love you so much and just can't get enough of you! We are so blessed to be your parents and thank God for you every. single. day. 

We love you to the moon and back an infinite number of times!
