Liam's 2 Year Photos



At two years old, Liam is a bundle of energy. I love his happy personality, his thirst for learning, and all that he adds to our family by just being here.

• Liam loves his Daddy so much. Whenever Daddy comes home, he runs toward the door screaming "Dada, Dada!" He also screams for "Dada" whenever he sees a Jeep. Morgan drives a green four-door Jeep Wrangler. The car on the road doesn't have to be green or a Wrangler, but he recognizes it as a Jeep and assumes that his "Dada" is driving it.


• Liam loves cars. He is constantly playing with toy cars, and whenever we are driving anywhere he goes crazy yelling "car! car!" the whole time. He even sleeps with a toy Mini Cooper that Braden gave to him sometimes.


• His language is exploding. Every day he learns new words.
• Okay, don't judge me, but I have let the kids watch Sponge Bob Squarepants several times this summer (I really don't like it, but they love it!) Now, whenever Liam sees a picture of Sponge Bob, he sings the theme song. It is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen. The other night, while we were camping with the Cub Scouts, he saw a Sponge Bob camp chair. Morgan had to physically remove him from the campfire program because he gasped out loud, and then started singing the song at the top of his lungs. When he sings it it sounds like "Bob bob bob bob etc." I really have to try and catch it on video because it is just too cute.
• I have tried to capture some of his personality through the pictures I took (above), but I wish that there were some way to capture the feeling of his damp warm head on my shoulder as I rock him to sleep each evening after his bath. Those moments each evening when it is just the two of us are some of the most precious moments of my life.
• Liam generally needs two or more baths a day. Definitely at least one each evening after dinner. Sometimes two if he decides to rub apple sauce or oatmeal in his hair during breakfast. Occassionally three if he jumps in a mud puddle or finds a marker.

When he is awake, I rarely get to sit down. When he is asleep I miss him. I can't believe he is already two. Happy birthday, Little Man! I love you!
