Graduation

I am so proud of my sister.  She graduated with honors in Special Education from West Liberty on Saturday.  I was so honored to be with her to celebrate this great accomplishment.  Daddy would be so proud of his baby girl.  Congratulations, Lisa!

Look all all those teeth!

Liam was a late teether, which has it's good and bad points.  Good, because they seem to be all coming at once, and bad, because he is so miserable at night!  Last night, his front two teeth came through, at the same time.  He hasn't been going to bed until 9:00 for the past 3 nights, he usually goes down around 7:30-8.  We've been having to put him in our bed to fall asleep then transfer him to the crib.  I feel so sorry for the little guy!  I couldn't imagine those sharp, foreign things poking through my gums.  He has a total of 7 now, just last month he had 2! 

He also is learning so many new words!  Billy and I counted, and he's up to 13.  His first was mama and dada.  He can bark, moo, gobble, meow, ho ho ho, oink, nay and say thank you. We are doing sign language, and he can sign all done, dog, cat, please, cow, milk and blow kisses.  We are working on snow, reindeer and thank you!  It seems like he was cooing yesterday...sigh...

Since Liam is now one, I thought I would start a blog about our lives and how he is forever changing them.  We had his birthday party about a week ago, and I had so many emotions.  I was sad that my baby has now evolved into a toddler, excited because this is the stage when everything is so fun, and I was thankful that he has been healthy and happy. 

This past year has truly been a blessing.  From sleep deprivation, dirty diapers and endless feedings, to teething, walking, and then running.  It has been great!

Hopefully, I will be able to post several times a week to log what we have been doing, pictures, and just about anything! :)
