Liam Andrew is 13 months!!

My sweet baby boy, can you believe 13 whole months have gone by?  We are beyond blessed to have you in our lives and we just love to celebrate all that you do! Why do I obsess over every little thing you do?

WELL.

First, I am your momma (it's part of the job description) and second, your life is just so precious to us!
Last month, on your birthday to be exact, we had a health scare.  Your were very, very sick and your CBC blood work indicated that you could possibly have Leukemia and it needed to be investigated further.  So, we spent a very long day at the hospital for the tests and waiting to hear the results.  It was the longest. day. of. my. life.  At 5 pm, we found out that you did NOT have Leukemia! I can't even describe in words the relief that we felt. I cried. and cried. and cried. Because I was so happy! You were still very sick with a virus AND an infection which required several shots of antibiotics, but you beat it! We were soooooooo thankful God saw you through your illness! We pray and pray and pray for your continued health!!! So, this is just one more reason why we CELEBRATE ALL THAT YOU DO!!! We just LOVE you so much!

On a lighter note :)
Here are some of the things we just LOVE about you, our sweet 13 month old...

• You are a climber! You try to climb up and down stairs, all over furniture and people!
• You are a talker!!! Most of it we can't really make out yet (lol) but you can very clearly say Momma, Dada, light, ball, huh? and bye-bye!
• You wave hi and bye-bye! So sweet!
• You point at EVERYTHING!! You are one curious little boy!
• You are obsessed with bugging your big brother! (I'm sure this is only the beginning! lol) If he has a toy, you think you have to have it, and you follow him wherever he goes!! ;)
• You are a PIGLET! You could eat all. day. long. if we let you! haha
• You are cruisin' up a storm! You walk everywhere, but always holding onto something or someone! I'm sure we'll be chasing you in no time!
• You are a Momma's boy! You would be permanently attached to my hip, if possible.  I sure am getting some muscle in my arms from carrying around my big boy! :)
• You are all smiles, all the time!
• You now give kisses! So sweet!
• You have discovered your toes!!!  If I say, "Liam, where are your toes?" You smile really big, and point to your little piggies!
• You LOVE your cozy coupe car and sit in it ALL THE TIME!
• You love to listen to your daddy playing the guitar.  You even try to play it too!
• You absolutely love going down the slide your Nana and Papaw Shacklett got you for your birthday! You even climb up the stairs all by yourself!

Um, the sweetest thing ever?? I think so!

Whoops! You were playing and fell right in your toy basket! Haha!

Oh how I love how excited you get to listen to a story! 

Be still my heart! <3

A boy and his car!

Playing tunes with Daddy!

Someone is officially too old for the bouncy! Haha! 

Oh, baby boy. We love you. We love you. We love you! I just can't tell you that enough.  We are infinitely blessed and can't believe how lucky we are to have you in our lives.  We are so humbled that God chose us. We aren't worthy, but we will always do the absolute best we can for you. We pray that He will always guide us in our decisions as your parents so that we are always doing the best for you.  Happy 13 months, Liam!!!

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

Love, Momma and Dada
