Motor Skills

Liam had a cast on for 6 weeks and it didn't slow him down one bit! Here are some action shots of him running around the house.

Finally, I had to put him on the floor and snap a few shots while he was still (for a split second). Love this grin!

Liam's cast is now off and he is running and climbing on everything. Oh dear ... needless to stay I'm pretty exhausted. But we wouldn't have it any other way and LOVE our extremely active, playful, curious, determined Liam!

The Cake Off

Liam turned one in January and we celebrated with a Cake Off with some friends in our ward. Liam's FAVORITE thing to do is take a bath, so Don made a bath themed cake in honor of Liam's big day, complete with a mini rubber ducky and bubble cake for him to destroy.

It was a fierce competition, with two other delicious cakes entered in the mix by the Brodegards and Pearsons.

Liam really didn't know what was going on, but loved playing with the balloons.

Then it was time to destroy his cake ... but he was more interested in the rubber ducky.

After we took away the duck, he slowly touched his cake.

And this is about as much as he destroyed it... the stinker! I know if he was all alone in a room and found that cake on the floor that it would be in a million little pieces everywhere. Guess he was just a little shy that night.

Happy birthday, sweet Liam!
