11 Months

Today Liam is 11 months old! Wowsers. In just one month he will be 1 year old. My how time does fly...and not fly. When I think about those last few weeks of pregnancy and his birth, they feel like 10 years ago. But, then, when I think about how fast he is growing up, these past 11 months seem like weeks. Time is funny like that. Anyway, he has been getting ready to be 1 year old by doing some big boy things. Like finding hims own snack. And sharing.

"Don't worry, Mom. I can get my snack. Jenny can have some too. Don't worry, I got it."

Also, picking out a DVD.
"Oops. They fell down."
"Oh dear. They are hard to pick up."
"I sorry, Mom. Could you help me?"


"I'm having a big boy snack on the Papa Chair."



"Papa, can I help you with your papers?"
"Maybe I could just use this little wheel..."

We are looking forward each day to our trip back to MD. It seems the closer it gets, the less we can imagine what it's going to be like. It seems almost too good to be true. I remember feeling this way about a year ago when we were waiting for baby Liam to come out. And that turned out even better than we'd ever dreamed. Hopefully Operation Freedom will have similar results. Whatever the outcome may be, we rejoice in this next step in our lives, taking comfort in the Lord's leading. Just 10 more days!

Cuteness! I am amazed each time I read your blog, just how much these two boys have in common. Well, except getting into Daddy's papers...for us, it's the laptop. Do you think it would be the same if one of us had a girl? Hmm...I wonder what little girls at this age do.
