Liam's 2 yr pictures

I finally got around to taking Liam in to Portrait Innovations today and he did sooo well, it was incredibly hard to narrow it down but I finally chose these two. He looks so big!!

Big top

Isaiah had a ball at the circus, he had his first cotton candy and he even got to ride an elephant! What a fun Daddy and Izzy night out! Thankfully Boone did okay, even with his deep fear/hatred of clowns. :)

Big boy room

I think we've solved Liam's fussiness at night...we moved him out of the crib and into Isaiah's room on a twin mattress on the floor. He is now officially declared a "big boy" and loves getting to be in "the big boy room" with Isaiah. I was really hoping he'd stay in the crib awhile longer, but he's doing well and doesn't try to get up out of bed at all. That was my biggest concern because of his leg, but he is a good little boy and knows he can't walk around without his brace on so he has been staying put. Now I have plenty of time to get the room cleaned out and ready for Mr. Elijah! :) Isaiah is thrilled to be finally able to share the room with Liam, and looking forward to when he turns 5 so he can go on the top bunk and Liam can be where he sleeps on the bottom.

My Isaiah

I realized I have been writing about Liam the majority of the time---he has been challenging and also going thru a lot of new and fun phases lately I guess is why. Isaiah is such a sweetheart of a boy. He is so very kind and loving and caring, he warms my heart daily through his actions and the things he says. I know that God gave Isaiah some very special gifts in life that are very evident already as a big brother. He is my sweetie pie little man and I just love him to pieces!! I adore his red hair and beautiful brown eyes as well, I always said I wanted a little girl w/red hair and brown eyes, but God knew even better and gave me my Izzy!

Liam's party

Liam had a good time at his little party, Daddy and Isaiah went a little overboard on his favorite thing, balloons...there were 17 in all! :)

Happy Birthday Liam!

Liam's birth announcementFirst Birthday invite


Taken today!

Today's Liam's birthday, hard for me to believe he's 2 already!! Tomorrow my family and two close friends are coming over for dinner and a small party, I have a Mickey mouse cake to work on tonight and tomorrow yet, as well as the meal to make. Thankfully my parents are coming down early in the morning to help, since Boone will be gone at a Thrivent thing until the party starts!

Waiting for the crying to stop...

Liam is standing up in his crib screaming. He just wants to sleep on me. Every time I go in he calms down, cuddles w/me and is peachy until I tell him it's time to go back to bed. He is so stinking stubborn---that and his thin hair are the only things he gets from me, why does it have to be those two things?? I hate letting him cry. I wish Boone were home, he's had this schedule more or less for many years, you'd think I'd be used to it by now.
I feel a bit better now, getting that out! :)

Elijah Boone

He is still Elijah! lol And everything looks perfect with him, today was the "big" measuring ultrasound, and everything is where it's supposed to be, the right size and doing the right things! :) He's such a cutie pie don't ya think?? (I'm not biased at all...)

Back home finally!

Whew, being gone for 2 whole weeks practically is kinda crazy! We had a great trip at Disney and I'm so glad we went...but am soooo glad to be home again! :) One of the cutest things was Isaiah saying several times "This is the most magical place on earth".
For some reason it's not letting me post pictures right now, I'll have to try again when I'm more with it in the am I guess!
