True Love?

Liam's Godmother stopped over for a visit with her beautiful daughter Natalie. Liam and Natalie played near each other, and even engaged in a rousing game of peek a boo together! But when we sat them on the couch for some pictures, they were so cute together, holding hands, falling over, and more. Here is the beginning of their love story...???

Finger Paint Time

Liam has recently explored the wonders of finger painting!
The other day I wanted him to color a picture, but he kept putting his hand down and expecting to see a hand print like when we do our holiday projects. So I busted out the finger paint and he was in love! He asks to paint a lot now, but the clean up is not always so fun. Watch his progression from timid painter to truly experimenting with the medium!

Happy 4th!

We took Liam for his first fireworks on Sunday, July 3rd (our 7 year anniversary). We ended up going to the Fairlawn fireworks and it was great - easy parking, short walk, great view! Poor Liam, an 8 pm bedtime, had to stay up until after 10 to enjoy the fireworks. Luckily there was a very nice little boy who played with him for over 30 minutes and kept him entertained. You can see him in the beginning of the clip. He wasn't really scared of the fireworks, but only really like the "grand finale" type fireworks. He was bored through the middle and then realized how tired he was, so we had to take turns walking him around the park. When it was over, he was crying for "more boom boom!"
