Liam is mail backwards...

What a day! Liam celebrated his 1st birthday. two days after his actual birthday (Christmas Day), with family and friends. It was a very casual party held at Grandma and Grandpa's house...simple, yet fun-filled. We were all recovering from a nasty cold, which completely knocked out Grandpa (he couldn't attend), but Liam had a blast playing with all his guests (especially Jacklyn). :)

After an afternoon of snacks, socializing, birthday cake and presents...Liam passed out in Daddy's arms. We decided to lay him down on the couch and get some cleaning done. Of course Mommy couldn't help herself, being the jokester that she is, snapping a silly photo. Sorta reminds you of Al Bundy from that 80s tv show, Married with Children!



What a day! It's hard to believe it's been a year since Liam made his grand entrance into the world, a month early! Happy Birthday baby boy. We love you!

Poor baby...Liam had his first walking mishap! Yes, he's back to his usual happy self, laughing and smiling, oblivious to the gash on his forehead.

What happend, you ask...well, while I was on the phone with daycare (telling them I was running late), April's back was turned for just a moment and Liam stumbled and fell head first onto the corner of a baseboard heater. Normally it's covered by a playpen, but the kids must have pushed it back.

The moment I walked in, I could tell something was wrong. Liam seemed ok, but he had a huge bandage on his head and April was very apologetic about the situation. I didn't know what to say...my main concern was whether or not I needed to take him to the emergency room. I calmly got Liam ready to go and called the pediatrician to see if we could get his professional opinion on the cut. Luckily, he was able to see Liam and quickly determined it was just a small cut...no stitches needed.

I am slightly worried he may have a permanent scar...like Harry Potter! Oh well...it's the first of many bumps and bruises he'll acquire growing up.
