Fun at Dinner.

Daddy made chocolate sauce.

My knitting “pat-rens” (any paper that has writing on it are my patterns, serious business).

We discovered that my little princess doll’s pants make a wistle and the rest look best standing up in straight lines.

Fun with packing paper.

Cyrano’s best friend.

Liam’s 1st Birthday Party.

(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.

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.

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 let my big brother and sister hold me today. It was so nice to snuggle with them.

I can’t wait until I am bigger and we can all play together.

A few weeks ago Liam I started taking a swim class at rec center. We are going to Disney World this summer and Mommy and Daddy want me know how to swim before we go.

There are three other kids in my class we have lots of fun playing in the water.

My swimming teacher is showing me how to float on my back and on my tummy, and how to kick in the water

Because Liam is still little he has to be in a swim class with Daddy. They get to play with toys in the water like noodles, and sometimes Liam gets to sit on a big red cow shaped raft. That looked like so much fun that I wanted to do it last week.

We only have two weeks left of class, but I sure hope we get to come back to the pool soon.

I sure love that show Dancing in the Stars. I love to wear my dancing skirt and dance along with all the pretty ladies.

I really mean visit the zoo, but whatever. I got to go to the zoo today with Alyssa, my cousin from MO.

She and her parents were out here for a meeting about camp and we had fun together with our parents at the Denver Zoo.

We rode a little train with our Daddies and played on a covered wagon.

I wore my zoo hat, which is the only time I will wear a hat. In the parking lot when we were done I played in all the leaves.

It was a good day.

Today Mommy got home from a trip to Kansas City with Liam and it is her birthday.  We stopped by a grocery store and got Mommy a birthday cake.  She shared it with me at lunch!

Needless to say, I had a lot of fun with the chocolate icing.  I got so messy that I had to clean off in the sink.

That was fun too though!

Liam celebrated Mommy’s birthday too, but he was a little less messy.  He made a happy birthday face!

I stayed with Gram and Stacey overnight at Gram’s house.

Stacey read books to me and Gram and I went to a new park by her house.

The favorite thing that I got to do was paint!  I wore a little smock that my mommy used to wear when she was a little girl.  Stacey helped me paint pictures of my family and I used big brush strokes!

After I finished painting I played a little golf.  Then I got a bubble bath and went to bed.

In the morning I got to lay in Gram’s bed and played with my Toy Story toys while I watched Charlie and Lola.

I wrapped Woody up in my blankie and shushed him like Mommy and Daddy do with Liam.

Before breakfast I did a little coloring and then helped Aunt Stacey with some knitting/yarn.

I had a lot of fun with Gram and Aunt Stacey!

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!
