The month of February has gone by quickly and we have been very busy. Liam continues to impress us with his vocabulary growth and is even starting to put two-three word sentences together. He is able to tell us what letters come next in the alphabet and make "predictions" of what will happen next in stories that we read. His favorite activities this month include playing with his tunnel, reading and playing hide-n-seek with anyone and everyone...including the dogs!
This month has also been pretty mild, weather wise. We have been able to get outside and play in the parks. Liam also helped his dada and papa build his new trike, followed by a spin around the neighborhood.
We also made a trip to Butte, MT to visit Josh's grandma Marg. On the way, we stopped in Missoula to see Josh's brother, Justing and his wife Jenni. Liam had a blast with his aunt and uncle and their two dogs. While in Missoula, Liam also got to ride on a carousel for the first time. Much to our surprise he really seemed to enjoy it and kept saying, "again, again." I, however, panicked somewhat as the the carousel began to gain speed...a shocker I am sure!

In Butte, Liam got to spend time with his great-aunt Peggy, great-uncle Bobby along with his second and third cousins. We also visited his great-grandma Marg in her new home. I am glad we got to go, but seeing Josh's grandma without her usual spunk was difficult. However, we were able to make some wonderful memories that we can cherish forever.

Liam also had a great time meeting the extra-special residents.....the turtles! Charlie was his favorite. He got to touch his shell and even tried to gold him! I am so impressed with how ready Liam is to try new things!
It's hard to believe that 17 months have gone by. Our little boy has a full set of teeth, weight 22 pounds and continues to get taller. His sense of humor resembles his daddy's and his temper-tantrums get stronger and more impressive every time! ;) We continue to thank our Father for this beautiful baby boy.
