His new favorite playtime activities are riding his bike (in which he likes to drag his feet and ruin his shoes), play hide-n-seek with Molly and Luna, and anything having to do with water. Liam is also counting up to four on a regular basis without any help. He loves to count the steps he takes or the stairs he climbs. He even counts his toys! He is also saying part do his alphabet in order..a,b,c,d and sometimes he gets e in there! Liam has also begun to sing his night-time songs to us and his stuffed animals. His favorite is " Twinkle Twinkle." Liam has also gotten really good at saying his prayers and daily prays for his family members. It is pretty darn adorable! And who doesn't feel better after being blessed by a baby?TheWarrenFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11717643906307860885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88978883300354139.post-69380836671285518562013-07-06T14:51:00.000-07:002013-07-06T14:51:26.960-07:00I'm Baaaaack!Time flies when an infant becomes a toddler, I switch from teaching first grade to kindergarten and all that life has to bring takes over!

We didn't tell them we were coming and boy, were they surprised! While we were there, we visited my dad's old stomping grounds in Fort Benton where Liam played in the rain and watched as the Mississippi River ran quickly through the town. We all enjoyed our time there. I just wish we lived closer so Liam could really get to know his Montana family.<br />
<br />
On the way back to Spokane, Liam had one of the best tantrums thus far in the $50,000 Silver Dollar Bar. We cleared that place out with his screaming and my ignoring his poor behaviors. It was quite the experience!<br />

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!<br />

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.<br />

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.<br />

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!</div>

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.</div>

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?</div>

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.</div>

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!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today we went to my friend Joy's house to search for eggs. Liam had a great time looking for eggs and "found" nine! This year there were cupcake-shaped "eggs" and they were his favorite! He also really enjoyed playing on Joy's swing-set. He went on the tire swing, climbed up the ladder and went down the slide, with minimal help from us. Josh also got to join in the fun along with our neighbors, Ben and Samuel. We also met up with Meghan and her daughter Kendall, and Suzy with her daughters Kelsey and Rachel. Meghan, Suzy and I were pregnant at the same time while teaching at Brentwood so we really enjoy getting our babies together. This is the second year we all went to Joy's and we are hoping to continue this tradition as our children grow!</div>

My bff Kelly brought her 5 month old twins, Maya and Iris, to Spokane for a visit. We went up and saw our bff Beth and her new baby, Reese. Liam really seemed interested in the babies and even tried to rock them, hold them, read to them and give them loves! So sweet!</div>

I came across this recipe for finger paint last August and I am just now getting the chance to make it. We had so much fun mixing the ingredients together and then watching it turn from a liquid into a squishy-type solid. Liam loved the consistency of the paint and this is a project we will do again together!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month, Liam celebrated his half-birthday. It is hard to believe that in six more months, he will be two! We had his check-up today to see how he is doing on his growth chart. He continues to stay in the 10th percentile in weight weighing in at a whopping 22 pounds. He is in the 50th percentile for length and the same for head circumference. He is one healthy boy! He only had to get one shot, but he knew it was coming as soon as the nurse came into the room. He immediately started crying and as soon as she gave him his shot, he pointed to the door and said, "home." We couldn't get out of there quick enough! </div>

This month we took a trip to Cat Tales. We had a blast looking at all of the animals there. Liam would growl and point to the animals as we walked by their cages. Liam also really enjoyed splashing in the mud puddles, as it has rained earlier that morning.</div>

This month, my good friend Beth had her baby girl Reese. Liam and I got to meet her a couple of days after they brought her home from the hospital. Liam wasn't sure what to think at first and was more excited about her two dogs that were outside and opening all of the doors in her house. However, once he started paying attention to her, he wanted to hold Reese and give her lots of loves.</div>

He walks around clucking like a chicken, shows off his 'tough guy' moves and just randomly yells and laughs. Another thing that makes us laugh (and maybe it shouldn't but without moments like these, we might otherwise cry) is attempt to say these words: chalk, rock, block. However, instead of coming out with those beginning blend sounds, he says a word that may not be completely appropriate to write! lol! I have to say that this is my favorite age so far. I am sure I will say that at each stage of his life as each one is so different and so amazing in its own way. However, I love just watching him discover new elements to the world that surrounds him and just be so excited about it!TheWarrenFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11717643906307860885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88978883300354139.post-34519486414066664072012-02-22T19:56:00.002-08:002012-02-22T19:56:28.210-08:00February<div style="text-align: center;">
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! </div>

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!</div>

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! </div>

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.</div>

He no longer chooses to crawl and is becoming a faster walker everyday. His favorite thing to do is chase the dogs around the house and play tag with his parents! The dogs have to get creative now as to where they run in the house because Liam is so quick to catch them!<br />
<br />

He also continues to impress us with his vast knowledge of words, sounds and overall understanding of language. Liam has been working on learning the alphabet, and can repeat and say most letters right along with us! It is pretty amazing! He also knows the sounds by sight of the following letters: n, o, t, s, m and p. Liam enjoys looking at the vinyl letter sayings on his bedroom wall and call out names of letters as he points to them. I know I am a bit biased, but this little boy is one smart cookie!<br />
<br />
He also knows many animal sounds and movements that animals make. He has most recently begun flapping is arms and clucking like a chicken! I have to say that one is my favorite! He also loves to quack, growl, bark, meow, moo, baaa, maaa, ssssss like a snake, make horsey sounds, buzz like a bee, and ribbit like a frog. It is so much fun watching him read his animal books by making all of their sounds.<br />

Some of Liam's favorite activities are brushing his teeth, playing hide-n-seek, throwing food on the floor, tormenting the hounds, and counting to three followed by jumping onto pillows or falling on the floor! He also enjoys jamming out to music in his room and jumping on the bed...a habit in which daddy started! Liam also enjoys helping us with the dishes and laundry! He loves to hand us dishes from the dishwasher and "fold" clothes! Most of those clothes end up on the floor, but who are we to judge the way a toddler helps out?<br />

<br />
We also got snow a couple of weeks ago for the first time all season. Liam had a blast helping his daddy shovel, making snowmen and stomping in the yard. I am so glad he had the opportunity to experience snow! We are hoping to take him sledding if it snows again!<br />

Today, Liam showed us that he is really paying attention to our drinks of choice when hockey is on the TV. He wanted something to drink and is water cup is always within reach. However, instead of drinking from his "aqua" cup, he chose to pick up daddy's beer. He then walked around the room for about 15 minutes making drinking sounds followed by "ahhhhh." At least he is learning which beer to bring to the party at an early age!TheWarrenFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11717643906307860885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88978883300354139.post-34491459545457567412012-01-28T08:04:00.000-08:002012-01-28T08:04:35.250-08:00Proud to announce that Liam can now say the word, "hockey." We were playing it the other day in the living room while an NHL game was on the TV in the background. Someone scored a goal and he started clapping along with the audience. He then went on to point and the TV and say, "hockey." I have never been so proud! :)TheWarrenFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11717643906307860885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88978883300354139.post-23114191919675311782012-01-24T20:26:00.000-08:002012-01-24T20:26:24.992-08:00Liam loves to swim!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Liam loves going to the pool with his papa! Papa Con takes him a few times a month to the YMCA.
