12 Months

Liam had his 12 month check-up yesterday at the pediatrician. He did well, until the mean nurse came in with his three shots :). That trauma proved the last the ENTIRE day. But he is growing well! He is 21 lb 8 oz, which only puts him in the 29th percentile in weight, and 30 inches long which puts him in the 57th percentile in height! The doctor was very happy with Liam's development up to this point. He told us things like, he can sit facing forward in this car seat now, and, you can start him on whole milk. So we just said, ok! Decided not to mention that we took it upon ourselves to do both of those things a couple of months ago :).

Here are a few pictures of Liam enjoying his birthday present from us. I forgot how cold the water is that comes out of a garden hose! I figured he would hate it because the water was so cold, but he loved every minute of it! His little chin chattered the whole time, but he was smiling! :)






Oh SO cold!




















"I'm freezing, but overstimulated,
so I'm happy!"













Could I sell this one to
Toy's R Us to use for
an ad? :)

ohmigosh he's so cute in the pool! can we come over and play with him in it some time? i bet that would really wear him out though.

i seem to remember a little girl who screamed and wailed when i so badly wanted to take her swimming once. you couldn't have been more than 3. (i need to ask your mom how old you were when you visited us in Chicago.) you were so cold your lips turned blue! poor girl..but man you were cute!

Looks like so much fun. I don't think Grandma would drown in that water!!! You know that we love all of you. Thanks for the cute pictures of our little darling.
