Liam is 1!

Here is the birthday boy! Enjoying some toys and balloons.

Family came over to celebrate with cake and Liam games.

Troy kept everybody entertained with his mad skills on the iphone.

Sweet Aunt Brittany loves Liam.

Liam has a lot of family, and so he gets lot of gifts. Everyone was so sweet! We had Krispy Kreme donuts instead of cake. Ben isn't a big cake guy, and it was a fun change. Everybody liked them I think. Liam had his own cake, which may or may not have been dropped right after the candle was blown out. Oops, but he still got lots of frosting to play with and eat. He got so messy that he couldn't hold his bottle to drink. Troy kept yelling at Liam, "Auh! Liam, hands! Help him! Help him mom!" Troy did not like the mess that Liam was getting into. Haha. It was SO funny. Liam LOVES eating.

We had our picture game. You have to put the pictures in order. 0-11 months. There are two pictures for each month. It is really hard. Ben didn't even win, Mom Allsop did! I bet I would have gotten a few of them wrong.

We also had Liam trivia and a round of watching youtube videos while I went and bathed the birthday boy. We had so much fun!

Liam had is 1 year appointment on Monday. Ben and I were thinking that he would be a little bit over 50% for weight and same for height. But, he is actually tall and skinny like his brother. 87% height and 29% weight. 31 inches and 23 lbs, about. That's all from memory because I can't find the paper that I had sitting right here next to the computer. Blah. So that might be off. His head is about 53%. Somewhere around there.

He took his first step this week and 8 in a row this evening. He gets into everything and is learning fast how to speak his opinion! I'm trying to teach him signs or words so that he doesn't resort to screaming every time he wants something. I love my little Liam and he is so smiley and sweet. I think two more teeth are coming in, so he has been a little more clingy, but that's ok! I love my Liam so much!!!!
