Recent fun times

Here are some shots of recent fun with Liam. Once Geoff got home from his various trips, he was able to put together the Cozy Coupe that Uncle Connor and Aunt Shannon got Liam for his birthday (which he LOVES--he is such a boy--anything with wheels fascinates him!) He could not even wait for Geoff to put it together to give it a try!





We also took a trip over to the National Harbor where Liam got to look at boats and play in the sand. Here he is having fun in the sand and with the sculpture titled "The Awakening".


Next on our agenda--picking out a Christmas tree, visiting Santa, and a 15 month well check at the doctor! We promise to post pics and stats. Our love to all!

Swimming lessons

Liam is learning to swim! Well, sort of. Geoff and I signed up for the Water Babies class at our local rec. center to have some pool-time fun with him and to get him used to the water. We're taking turns being the parent in the water, and so far, Liam is doing well!

As you can see in the sequence below, Liam enjoyed the floating balls and trying a little floating on his own. He really liked learning to kick and splash, as long as the water didn't get in his eyes. He also really liked the toddler version of the surf board! All in all, this is a fun activity for the whole family, and I am sure we will take this class again when it's offered!

A pirate's tale

ARRRRmaties! I am Liam the Pirate, and I am fearsome, especially while wearing my hat!

I am always on the lookout for new and exotic treasures, like this spooky jack o'lantern. It must be a magical totem, because last I looked, it was just a plain ol' pumpkin!

I am also quite the swashbuckler. Just look at how handy I am with my sword!

No matter how scary most folks think I am, I always have a smile for my sweet Mama, who stopped trying to make me wear my hat after I showed her my scary face a few times! Happy Halloween to all!
