Milestones and other fun stuff

Abby and Liam are so cute these days... I thought I would just write about some of the cute things they are doing.

Abby is in a dress phase. She only wants to wear dresses that spin. She loves to sing and dance. She is really good at telling us opposites. She knows who the president is and continues to surprise us with funny sayings like telling Billy that she wanted to have a conversation with him. She loves Dora the explorer and princesses. She is very loving and I am so lucky to have her as my daughter.


Liam is almost 1 year now.... He has 7 teeth and more on the way. He started crawling doing the army crawl, but recently started lifting his belly. He is also pulling up on everything and starting to push things around. He has let go a few times. He will be standing on his own any day now.

Liam learned to drink out of a straw earlier this week and also said byebye and waved when I took him out of the room. He is starting to associate sounds with words and words with actions. It is so amazing to watch him learn and grow.

He is eating all kinds of table food now and only eats baby food a few times a week. We will be transitioning him off formula in a few more weeks. My baby is growing up.


Abby and Liam are starting to play together more and more. Liam crawls into Abby's room and gets into her toys. Abby loves to hold her brother and give him hugs. She is such a great big sister.

Both of my kids continue to amaze me and remind me how much I love being a mom. We have our rough days but when I see them smile and hear them laugh, I forget all about the struggles and try to capture the moment.
