(A note from Mommy: We decided we need more room now that there are going to be 5 in our family, so we are getting our house ready to put on the market. Bye bye 2 bedrooms, hello more space.)

(A note from Mommy: OK I feel like I’ve been such a slacker since there were no posts between April and when Amelia was born! I hope to keep things a little more updated now.)

Post by Liam:

1. Alice spent the night at Gram and Poppy’s and wore chopsticks in her hair.

2. Gram, Stacey, Grandma Sue and Mommy taught knitting at MOPS.

3. I took a bath and was so cute.

4. Nanny and Grandpa Tom sent a gift basket and Alice helped open it.

5. I fell asleep in the car and we went to “sweet matoes.”

6. Alice got a towel on her head like Mommy.

7. We went to the zoo with friends.

8. I like playing with toys in the bucket.

9. I can also scoot really fast with Alice!

10. Gram showed Alice a bracelet with animals on it.

11. I learned how to crawl up the stairs.

12. We fed some ducks on a walk with Mommy and Gram.

13. Alice was really diggin’ the end of a jar of Nutella.

14. We planted new flowers outside our house. Alice wanted to plant a peanut butter and jelly tree.

15. Mommy and Daddy went to Alice’s school for parent’s day.

15 1/2. Alice and Daddy danced with the stars!

16. We celebrated Mother’s day in the park.

17. Alice had field day at school

18. Alice played outside in the sand and found some candy in the pantry at Gram’s house.

19. We drove a long, long way in the car and got to eat junk food. Mommy said she never would have let Alice do that when she wasn’t even 1 yet.

20. We got to see Alyssa and Alex in Kansas City and had fun playing with them.

21. Aunt Stacey came with us too and we got to hang out with her and play.

22. We went to MO and got to see Nanny and Grandpa Tom.

23. We went back to Kansas City and played some more with Alyssa and Alex.

24. We went to the children’s museum.

25. We went to the homestead farm.

26. Alice and Alyssa went swimming in a freezing cold little pool.

27. I joined in the fun.

Then we went home in the car a long, long way again. We had fun and that brings us to the end of May.

Mommy and Daddy brought home a new baby sister for me. She isn’t much fun. She won’t wrestle with me like Alice. The other day she was lying on the floor so I thought I might share some of my toys with her.

She didn’t seem too interested in any of them so I tried to put them in her hand to show her how fun they are. She wouldn’t even hold any of them. Mommy and Daddy say I have to wait until she get older to play with her. In the meantime I will just borrow her toys when she isn’t using them.

I found this really great spatula to use to eat my mac and cheese.

Alice got to go to her first movie on December 2nd, Happy Feet! She went with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Stacey, Aunt Jackee and Uncle Buddy. I had to stay home, while Alice got to pick out some candy from the store and got some popcorn. When I’m bigger, I’ll get to see movies too.

I did get to do something that the big kids do - I started eating some cereal, just like Alice. I love it and look pretty cute, even with cereal on my face.

One of my favorite things to do is hang out with Alice. Mommy says we’re never making nice faces for the camera at the same time. I think we always look pretty cute though.

Alice gets to spend the night with Gram and Papa and she is always having so much fun there. Someday I’ll get to spend the night someday too. (All I ever talk about is “someday” - sheesh!) Alice sure looks like she’s having fun shaving with Papa!

Alice loves to snuggle with me. She’s always telling me that she loves me “so much.” Mommy loves how sweet we are and she prays for us to be good friends all the time! I love my family.

Today was the first big snow of my life. Alice was at Gram’s house and stayed there since the weather was snowy. Mommy had to run to the store so she loaded me up in the car in my little bear snow suit. It was an adventure.

Mommy sure knows how to bring out my cuteness! I crack myself up I’m so cute.

One of Papa’s friends made me this awesome quilt with fish and ocean stuff on it. I love to lay on it and play with my play-gym. Mommy says I look like Daddy when I give a little smirk! Ooh, I’m cute.

I love to snuggle with my daddy when he watches the Chiefs

Today I went to the office with Mommy. I got tired at one point and took a nap in my vibrating bouncy chair.

Mommy put me under her desk to keep me in a quiet place. I think it’s funny because it looks like she stashed me under there.

At school today, Alice celebrated her birthday with the kids in her class. She got to wear a crown and Mommy brought cheese and frosted animal crackers for snack.

Alice had fun and wore the crown around the house the rest of the week!
