Last weekend we hit up REI to get Liam a bike helmet. A cute little yellow Bell that looks far too large on him. We set him up in the bike trailer and went for a little family ride. Clare even agreed to get on her bike for a quick ride around the block!

While shopping for the bike helmet we discovered that Liam loves skaters. A kid was skating back and forth and Liam was enthralled. Each time the kid did a trick Liam would laugh his head off… and then stare intently at him, waiting for the next one. It was super cute!

Also in the news… the pool safety fence was installed. Boooooo! It’s really not too bad, though. Kinda neat that it can hold up to 300 pounds (the installer demonstrated by leaning back against it).

We had a great Christmas and New Year’s with Liam! He had so much fun ripping up wrapping paper and inspecting all his new toys and getting lots of attention from his family. His Grandad was here from London for three weeks and Liam loved playing with him. He was pretty overwhelmed on Christmas Day and had to take a nap almost every hour! There are too many adorable photos, so I gathered the best into one folder HERE. His favorite new toys are his big red fire engine from Nonnie, his black skater onesies from Trina, his LaDanian Tomlinson football jersey from Grandad, his gumball machine from Daddy, his silver rattle from Mommy, his drum from his girlfriend Mia, his camo pants from his best friend Jameson, his puppets from Grandma, a book from my Aunt Mary Delle, a soft puppy from Uncle Butch, and his basketball hoop from John! He has almost as many toys as he has clothes now!
He’s getting closer to crawling although he’s much more intersted in standing and walking. His favorite item is the remote control and he looks at the TV when he plays with it!
