happy birthday Liam!

My little guy is 4 today! There was a four and a half year gap between my older two boys and when I had Liam--so he felt like starting all over again! What a sweet baby he was though. We were so glad he decided to come the last day of March instead of on April Fool's Day!


When Liam was just old enough to start observing the world around him-- Brad would hang ties from the ceiling fan in our bedroom, lay baby Liam on our bed, and start the fan on low. You've never seen a baby be so excited about anything! Such a fun memory.



He has grown into such a sweet, kind boy now. He has been my most head-strong kid for sure, but he is also full of love and hugs and cares about making the people around him happy. He is also always so thankful for anything given to him or done for him. We love to hear him praying with a thankful heart for trips to the park, mom who "made him breakfast" or "took him to Wal-Mart"--- and we still even get gratitude for Christmas prayers! How could a mom ask for anything more?!


Hope you have a day as wonderful as you are my Liam!


Big Hugs,

-Mom


(I know I just posted this picture of him--but I love it! I don't think any photo could have captured his happy face as well!)

Happy Happy Birthday Liam!!
He is just 4 months younger than Cooper, and they sound like similiar boys.
Four is fabulous! This is such an age of discovery and change. Cherish this year with Liam as he discovers the world around him.

Doesn't the time fly?? At times I miss that infant stage, then I snap out of it and remember how good I have it now. I love love love the 4-6 year range...they are so darn cute..full of wonderment, love, curiosity and plain ole fun. Your boys are so cute and full of life. Says alot about you and your husband.
