Happy Easter

Liam's First Easter Egg Hunt (or plastic lawn mower hunt?)

Liam went to his first Easter egg hunt on Saturday, organized by our neighborhood garden club. There were almost 30 kids that showed up, including a few close to Liam's age. There were 2 separate egg hunts - one for those under 3 (wee eggs) and another for the bigger kids. We didn't expect Liam to be terribly competitive in the egg hunt, but he got sidetracked by another child's toy - a plastic lawnmower with a moving smiley face on the front. One glance, and he was transfixed. When the hunt started and the other kids took off looking for eggs, Liam started chasing the boy with the lawnmower. Forget the eggs...he wanted that lawnmower! Liam chased him across the yard and back, then over to the driveway. When the other little guy turned his back on the lawnmower for just a second, Liam seized the opportunity and grabbed it. He looked so pleased with himself once he finally got his hands on that plastic enigma. He started pushing it all over, with that ever growing look of satisfaction on his face. He wanted to push it everywhere, but daddy had to draw the line when he wanted to push it into the street. A power struggle ensued, and of course daddy won. I guess we know what Liam will be getting for Christmas...

Liam's First Swing

So we took a trip over to Henderson Park (most of you are probably wondering where that is...it's off of Chamblee-Tucker Road in Dekalb Co) Friday afternoon to let Liam stretch his legs and to see how he likes the playground. He tried out the swing for the first time. He loved it at first, but after a few minutes, he wanted to get back on solid ground and explore.

Liam's 2nd Snow!!

Liam saw snow at his house for the second time in just 3 days! This snow was a little more impressive than the first. We bundled him up in his snow suit, and he had a blast!

Liam's First Snow!

That's right. Liam saw snow for the first time this evening. Most people probably wouldn't consider this a real snow, but I suppose it counts for the South. Liam really enjoyed it, and I think he would have loved to play in it longer.

Walking!

Happy New Year! Yay!

Happy New Year! It's back to work tomorrow for Mommy and Daddy, but we really enjoyed our time off during the holidays with Liam. His personality has changed so much just over the past 2 weeks. Here's a little video that we captured after we discovered just how much Liam likes to imitate his parents!
