10 Months

See the mischievous smile? He's learning too quickly what he can and can not get into, and the desire to go to that thing which is not allowed is great. The other day he snagged Albert's camera lens cap and started crawling off with it. Albert was looking all over, and as if Liam knew what Albert was saying looked at him and gave him that smile. Saying, "Ha Ha, I've got your lens cap, what are you going to do about it?" He's cracking us up daily with these facial expressions.

He's pulling himself up on EVERYTHING these days. The other night he scooted himself along the tub (from the outside of the tub) and then to my lap, I was on the other end of the tub, bathing Audrey. Do I need to say he's cruising? Oh no, no, no....let's just say he shimmied his way down to me, no need to make something bigger than it is, right?

He got 1 of the 4 teeth that were trying to come in during our beach vacation, which has made nap and bedtime a little easier. With the top two, and one of the bottom still working their way through, he's constantly making this face.

We have had a great month. Liam is growing and growing, eating more and more. It is amazing to see the amount of changes a little one can make over the course of one month! Last month he was still eating pureed food, and now he's mostly eating figure foods. It's a nice transition to make, but it's hard to believe these things happen within a matter of weeks. Weren't we just talking about him crawling? Now he's up on his two feet, and trying to reach all the things that are above him. It's fun seeing these changes happen, but I wish it would slow down a bit.

Home Projects

Since we've moved into our house a year and 10 months ago, I've wanted to put up window boxes. Our house is very plan. Tan painted brick, a white door, and nothing more to make it stand out. I knew window boxes would be an easy way to make the house pop. I would love to paint the front door this summer, adding another small touch to complete the look.

Audrey loves helping me with flowers. The past two summers we have made a garden just for her, with flowers of her choice. She's helped me dig out the garden, then plant, and maintain all summer long (she's great at watering, but weeding is a little hard for her, as she gets a little over excited to get rid of it all).


Late spring we set out to find the right flowers for our boxes. Whenever I ask Audrey what color flowers, she ALWAYS says "Pink and Purple". I knew I wanted a little more than just those colors, so I thought I'd off set it with white. I'm so please with the way they turned out, and my little helper.
