Weekly Update

 Liam loves climbing trees. He'll do it all day if you let him.

 Some body tell that boy we're eating pudding, not finger painting.

Liam wrote his own name and was very excited about it (we gave him a piece of candy to celebrate). He asked if we would take his picture too.

Tadpoles

 So this year, instead of catching tadpoles everyday I thought I'd pull out our fish tank out of the garage and we could watch them grow instead. Boy were the boys excited.

Now today when we didn't catch tadpoles....well Brennan didn't like that.

Mothers Day

 My Mom loves to see pictures of the boys. In fact, she probably checks the blog everyday. So this year for Mothers Day, I thought I would make a point to put up new pictures. Love you Mom! Thanks for always being there.

Here is Liam on his special birthday dinner, hence the four fingers at Gaint City Lodge, or if your Liam the Castle Restaurant.

 Liam asked me to take this photo. He said it was a good picture idea. Boy was he right.

4yr Checkup

Yesterday was Liam's four year check up.  He's now 42.5 inches tall and weighs 37.5 lbs. Basically a tall lean boy.  As for some of the milestones, he may need a little work. For example drawing people with bodies, maybe if I could get him to sit still long enough to color he could draw people. As well as the cut and paste, who knows whether he could our not. However, the riding the bike, throwing and catching a ball, full sentences, and other adults understanding him he's got down.  We also went over his quirks from last time, which some he seems to be out growing, yeah good news. We did go over his weird foot thing he has when he gets tired, or at least that's what I think it is. Liam pronates for one, but to be sure that he's not flat footed or something else going on he'll be seeing another doctor next week.

Then there were the shots. Poor Liam has no fat in his leg for the MMR so they gave him an ice pack to help numb it a little before his shot. Boy did he scream. Nurse Susie was wonder and gave him an army man (6in tall) for him and Brennan for being so good, as well as an Angry Bird bandaid.  Afterwards I took him to Chick-fila for breakfast and to play on the playground.
