Happy birthday to you...





Liam,

February 2 Liam turned 1!!! My baby grew up and is now officially a toddler. Liam's unique and happy little personality is definitely shining through now. He is a very logical and much more serious boy than his brother but Alex is quickly teaching him the fine art of imaginative play and being silly. Liam loves to play with cars and walk around the house following Alex where ever he goes but his absolute most favorite things in the whole world are animals! The squeal of sheer joy that comes from his little mouth when he sees a dog or cat or anything living really is unbelievable! He will grab the animal and hug it and love it till it runs away. Luckily we have met a lot of very patient animals and he hasn't been bit yet (knock on wood). His eyes look like they are going to stay a clear blue and his hair is a very curly strawberry blond. He is my little sunshine boy and I am awed by the honor and grateful every day to be his mother!

Alex,

December 29 Alex turned 4!!! He is growing and learning new things at an amazingly fast rate. He is loving preschool! He just loves learning anytime he encounters an unknown he asks questions until he understands then repeats it to you for about a day by then it is permanently engraved to his memory. I love hearing him sing me songs he learns and telling me made up stories at bed time. His imagination has no limits nor does his energy reserves. He is the most empathetic and caring 4 year old I have ever met! He has a gift to understand how a person is feeling and be able to genuinely make them feel loved. Alex's favorite things to do would be playing outside, no matter the weather, and pretending to be a puppy dog, a white puppy that does not bark or shed to be exact lol. You can't feel blue when you are around Alex he is too happy, too silly, too sweet, and too wonderful and I am so very blessed and grateful to be his mother!
