Yesterday was Josh’s 30th birthday so we took Liam to Disneyland for the first time! He LOVED it and we had a great day! Liam did so much better than I expected, so we stayed there for six hours. He was in awe, and definitely overwhelmed but he didn’t cry once. He ate his lunch and even took a half hour nap while Mommy went on Space Mountain. He did get a little scared on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride but he just buried his little head in Daddy’s chest and peeked out with only his eyes showing timidly, so sweet.

We also went on It’s a Small World (which I think was his favorite), Peter Pan, Jungle Cruise, Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, and Pinocchio. He had wide eyes on all of them, as you can imagine. Luckily the park wasn’t terribly crowded so the wait times weren’t too long, I can’t even imagine waiting longer than 20 minutes for a ride with Liam squirming!

This is a photo of me (Clare) when I was a baby… It looks just like Liam! Yes, that’s my dad with a big ol’ beard.

Liam just turned 8 months old last week. He’s really not interested in crawling, no matter what we do. He’s pulling himself up, getting more steady on his feet, and walks along the couch. He grabs your hands, pops himself up to standing and smiles like he’s so proud of himself when he takes steps. I’ll have to find a good video clip for Josh to put online soon…
