Catching Up

We had a nice time celebrating Liam's 2nd birthday over the weekend. Here he is yesterday morning, blowing out the candle on his "blue and white" pancake, made by Daddy (blue and white = blueberries and white chocolate chips= go cats!):



And here he is attempting to cut his birthday cake (new favorite phrase...Me do it!!) with a little help from Mommy. Mark and I made him a football cake but forgot to take a good picture of it. You can kind of see it here:



And eating the cake...

Sports themed cookies handmade by Micajah (thank you!)...you can see Liam's little hand grabbing for the cookie as I took the picture.

I haven't posted anything from Christmas, so here are a few of Liam opening presents. The unfortunate side effect of Liam having a birthday so close to Christmas is that he thinks everyday will hold presents, cookies, and cake.

Here he is with his first Mr. Potato Head:

Opening a book from Mommy:

After figuring out how to take pictures with the camera, here is Liam's artistic debut:

And not to forget our darling Grady, who didn't get too in to Christmas this year, but is a joy and a blessing. He's such a good baby! And now he's smiling and cooing, mostly at Liam. It's precious. We go to the doctor today for 2 month and 2 year checkups, so I'll report how large Grady is in the next day or two.

Oh, and Happy Birthday to me! Mark left me a gift on the kitchen table and expects me to wait all day to open it. How cruel! :)
