Liam Update

Liam 3 1/2


Liam, my little energy ball is such a happy boy. Everything he does is with a little extra umph. If he throws, he throws really hard. If he runs, he runs as fast as possible. If he gives you a hug, you might need a couple of minutes to recover. If he yells, it's REALLY loud. If he wants to show you love, he tells you a lot.

Liam likes to move. The picture above was supposed to be taken above the bridge, but obviously he was moving up and down, and it turned out great! You think he's not paying attention when he is moving, but then he will repeat me word for word. He picks up on things very quickly. I have not specifically taught him anything, but he has picked up a lot from Troy. Counting, letters, colors, etc.



Liam is very independent and always has been. Here is his first peanut butter and honey sandwich that he made while I was not in the kitchen. Ironically, he doesn't really like pb sandwiches, so he didn't eat very much of it. He is a turkey sandwich guy.

Liam loves to play with his brother and sister all of the time. His favorite is when we are all together. He doesn't like it when someone is napping and constantly asks if he can go get them. He doesn't know his own strength or when to stop climbing. Ben sees it as a great potential for talent in sports. I told him to stop climbing up the kitchen counter, and Ben said, "Oh let him, he's building his core strength." Well, that's where the knives are... so, no. Anyway, he is definitely a thick kid. And all he does (with Troy) is throw, catch, putt, shoot, etc. The world cup has gotten us more into soccer. He also has a hard time containing all of that energy sometimes. So, he hits. He knows it's wrong, so he usually doesn't hit us. He will sometimes hit me or Troy if he is mad, and time out resets him. I tell him to punch the couch or the ground. Both Troy and Liam have been literally acting like apes, thanks to Tarzan. It's pretty funny.


Favorite saying: "Can I have a hug?" I brace myself. But I LOVE it!
Favorite food: Pretty much anything. He eats any dinner I make. BEST trait ever.
Favorite color: Red
Favorite shows: Wild Kratts, Croods, Jake and Neverland Pirates, Rescue Bots, Super Why, Daniel Tiger
Favorite toys: Whatever Troy is playing with and balls.
Favorite songs: I Am a Child of God, Silent Night, Book of Mormon Stories
Favorite activities: splash pad, anything to do with a ball, eating, being with this family, running
