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.

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.

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.

Today Mommy and Daddy went to lunch for a friend at the office’s birthday and got to ride in a Limo. Papa rode the orange Harley. They had a fun time – I’m not sure why we weren’t invited.
