We celebrated on Saturday as a family and went to the Provo Beach Resort.
Troy's favorite things were the toddler play place and the race cars...
Liam's favorite was shooting basketballs. We spent most of our card (like $3) on this game. Liam could not get enough.
We tried skiiball, but Liam didn't get the concept. He just kept climbing up, chucking the ball at the holes that were blocked by the net... so the ball would hit the net and fly back to us. Haha.
Troy actually got it by the end of round 2.
Liam also loved watching the surfing, so we took him to the observation deck. But he got really scared when we got up there. I've never seen him so solemn.
This was the closest thing to a smile I could get out of him, which is not Liam like. Liam smiles ALL of the time and screams out of excitement at everything. Every morning is just the most exciting thing for Liam. It's so fun to go into his room to get him because he gets SO excited to see you. If he gets really excited he puts his hand to his mouth and yells "abababababa."
We got happy meals for both boys afterwards. Liam eats everything, while Troy plays with both of the toys and eats a little.
While the boys and I took a nap, Ben went to play basketball with Alan, Devin and cousin Nate. The boys stay very close to him when he gets home.
Sunday: We had a Liam celebration at Mom Allsop's house. The pictures we took are on Ben's phone, so I'll have to get them later. He LOVED his gifts from Grandma: cars, shirts, and a toy laptop. Liam is obsessed with letters, so the laptop is his new favorite thing. He sings the alphabet all of the time, and even grunts the entire song. It's so stinkin hilarious. I have yet to catch it on camera, but Ben does a good impression :)
We had such a great time and wish we didn't always have to leave early for the boys bedtime.
Monday: Last night we had a party at our house with my family. Liam loved playing with the balloons.
Grandma brought some fun for the boys, but only Troy could do it. Liam thought it was funny though.
That's mom on the left, Megan, Corey, and Troy.
We had Krispy Kreme donuts and Sarah made Texas sheet cake! So yummy. From Troy's side, Jason, Ben, Devin, Sarah and Jimmer (their dog.) Jimmer was Liam's favorite guest :) Alan, Tyler, Annie, and Halli were there as well. Maddy was at work and Michael was dog sitting. We had lots of fun together as a family! Thanks family for making Liam's birthday so special!!!
Some tidbits about Liam:
- He loves books, but only at a very fast pace. (Like everything else he does.)
- His favorite letter is W and he pronounces it, "doubledus."
- He spends about 45 seconds in the tub before the bathroom is soaked. I get him out VERY quickly every morning.
- He'll eat anything and recently loves raisins. His vitamins are the highlight of his day.
- Going out in public with Liam is a nightmare and he has to be strapped tightly in a stroller for me to consider going anywhere.
- He loves playing in the car and doing his own buckles.
- He loves to throw balls at your head and say, "bonk." Ben taught him this. He laughs hysterically when Ben throws a ball at his head.
- Liam is very independent and gets out everything by himself. If he wants an apple, he opens the fridge, gets the apple, closes the fridge, gets the apple cutter, and tries to cut it himself, can't do it, and then gets me to help.
- He tells me when he poops and wants to go pee in the potty just like Troy. His toots are AWFUL. The nursery, without fail, thinks he has pooped every week, when he hasn't.
- He is starting to sing a little with Troy - Once there was a Snowman and Popcorn Popping and I Am a Child of God are his favorites. He also loves to sing the clean up song. He cleans up SO well thanks to that song.
- He is out of breath most of the time from expending so much energy at everything he does. Running is his favorite activity. I'm a little afraid for Katelyn. I'm pretty sure I will be protecting her any time she is near Liam.
- Liam lights up our family with his little exciting personality every day. We LOVE our Liam!!
p.s. We are anxious to meet Katelyn, but she is just not ready to come yet. I'm relieved that she wasn't born on Liam's birthday. But ANY time now is fine :)
