Happy First Birthday Liam!

Liam is walking really well now, he even is standing up on his own.  He is starting to get sick of his baby food.  We think it's because it's too bland for him.  He wants to eat our food now.  We have to get creative when we want him to eat something that he doesn't want.  Sometimes we add apple sauce to his food, or apple juice to his cereal and it usually works.  Liam's favorite toy is Elmo, and a few times we heard him say 'Elmo'. 
 
On Saturday the 6th, we had a Birthday party for Liam with our family. We had some good food, and Grandma P. made a Winnie the Pooh cake that was like Mike's when he was a kid. He got some new toys (thanks everyone!), and then we sang to him and enjoyed some cake and ice cream. He held up pretty good, although toward the end he was pretty overwhelmed with all the attention and tired too.

On the 7th, which was his actual Birthday, we gave him birthday hugs and kisses at his birth time at 10:27 am. He enjoyed playing with all his new toys. He tried some salmon and cow's milk, both foods that our Dr. recommended waiting till he was one.

We reminisced about the day he was born, which was one month early. Even though it was pretty scary being a month early, and a little frustrating getting him to eat in the hospital, we both have fond memories of that time. We also can not believe that an entire year has flown by already. Although at the same time it's hard to remember life without him. He is such a joy in our lives and we are so grateful he is in it.
