Spring has come and gone!

Hard to believe spring is almost gone and summer is just around the corner. Our little boy has been keeping us busy and is full of energy!

April passed, along with Josh's 28th birthday. Liam had fun helping me make Josh's birthday gift, although it took quite a while to find the perfect pics! Below are some examples of the different poses Liam showed me!

As you can see, it was a warm day in April so we went to the park by our house to take the pictures. Below, you will find the finished product that now hangs in our house.

May came and went and along with it my birthday and Mother's Day. Josh surprised me with an iPad that I am sure he regrets getting me. :) May also brought sunny days and time to play outside. Liam loves to swing more than ever before. He is becoming more daring and is leaning back while he swings, enjoying the breeze that blows through his blonde locks.

May also gave us time to finish re-doing the curb appeal in front of our house. We took out all of the rocks and the 80's style bushes and replaced them with bark and flower pots. It is amazing how the littlest things make such a BIG difference!

Liam has also grown to love hockey more and more as he sees Josh and I pack our gear and head to the rink. As the Stanley Cup Playoffs play on the background, he will point and say, "hockey" and "goalie." He also likes to carry around our hockey sticks, even though the one that is made for him works much better! Below are pictures of he and his daddy playing hockey in the front yard.

The month of June has been much cooler that normal and it has rained for most of it so far. This required me to find a windbreaker/rain coat for Liam and I happened to find a Columbia jacket that matched one Josh already had! Aren't they so cute?

Liam also continues to love his Uncle Coley. I am so glad that Liam has the opportunity to grow close with one of his uncles. Hopefully as time moves on, Liam will get to know his other two uncles just as well.

This picture is a bit blurry but Liam is giving his "say cheese" face! Too funny!

Liam loves to play outside every chance he gets. His vocabulary continues to develop and I am blown away by the amount of words he knows. Daily Josh and I look at each other and say, "did he just say ____?" It is pretty amazing! Liam is also singing, counting and saying his ABC's. His favorite songs to sing right now are "One, Two Buckle My Shoe" and "The Wheels on the Bus." He can count to 4 without help on a regular basis and up to 10 with minor guidance, and say the first four letters of the alphabet independently. His favorite foods right now are macaroni and cheese, trail mix made up of : gold fish, cheerios, raisins and dried cranberries, yogurt and ranch dressing. He takes after his mama with that last one! lol! His favorite books are "Oh, David," "Frosty the Snowman," "Biscuit," and "Itchy, Itchy Chicken Pox." He can read most of these books, by memory of course but that's the first step of reading so I count it! We are blessed to have such an amazing, smart and loving little boy in our lives!
