Par-Tay!

We all had a wonderful time celebrating Liam's first birthday today! Thank you to all family and friends who came to celebrate our sweet boy! Stayed tuned for all the details and WAY too many pictures!

One Year Photos!

Here are Liam's one year photos! I am so in love with all of them!!

My personal favorite!

And we ordered a collage of our favorites from the cake smash!

Only 8 more days, I can't believe it!

47,48,49,50 and a little explanation...

Almost finished!

Click here or my Project 366 tab (I updated the title because it's a leap year - duh!) to see the rest of Liam's weekly collages!

P.S. I don't think I ever mentioned what's going on in picture 334...oh geez...

So Will brought Liam into our room one Sunday morning, and when he smiled at me his teeth and gums were covered in blood! After freaking out for about 30 seconds, we grabbed a wet rag and started wiping him down. His upper gums/gap in between his two front teeth kept bleeding and we couldn't get it to stop. After going back and forth about heading to the emergency room, (remember, it's the weekend. why is it always the weekend when this kind of stuff happens??!) Will called his parents' friend who is a dentist. He told us to put anything cold in his mouth to stop the bleeding and that as long as his teeth look ok he should be fine. So we spent the next 30 minutes or so fighting to stick ice packs and popsicles into a very ticked off baby's mouth. That was fun. Eventually the bleeding stopped, but we were all exhausted and running late, so needless to say we just stayed home from church that morning to recoup. We're still not sure exactly what happened, but we assume he was climbing to stand up in his crib, slipped, and hit his mouth on the crib rail on the way down. He never screamed out or anything though, and like I said he was all smiles when he greeted me that morning, so who knows?? I will say though that it is NOT fun seeing your baby's mouth full of blood! I wouldn't recommend it!

Up To!

This week and weekend have flown by!

Here's a little of what we've been up to...

My friend Nat was on spring break last week (she's a teacher), so she drove out to have lunch with us one day and hang out. It was good to see her and catch up, and Liam loved all the extra attention from his Auntie Natty!

If we don't have any plans for the day, which has been rare lately, we like to hang out in our pj's all day. How cute is this pair? I love the elastic waistband that says sleep tight - they look like little boy underwear!

So Liam has this new thing he does. Whenever he is upset, tired, bored, whatever, he will just throw himself down on the ground. I don't know why but it is so funny to me!

He won't really cry, just make this "I'm annoyed and I'm being dramatic" whine for a bit.

And then he will pop back up and continue on with whatever he's doing!

On Wednesday my parents came over to see Liam and do some birthday crafting. My mom made Liam a bib that matches his party hat and shorts for the cake smash! He is going to look so cute!

On Friday Liam and I went to another St. Patty's Day play date!. It was nice because we didn't have to do anything but show up this time! My friend Brettni decorated so cute and had little crafts for the kids and lots of good snacks!

This time Liam went a little more low key with his St. Patty's attire and just sported some cute socks. I found them at the Dollar Spot at Target - love that place!

Liam and Layla were very into the balloons, they kept fighting over them!

And then miss Mallory joined in the fun.

All the kiddos. It is hard to get a shot of 7 kids ranging from 5 months to 3 years!

Me and my little leprechaun!

Shhh...we got Liam a slide for his birthday...and he's already playing on it. Bad parents? Oh well! He loves it and doesn't even know it's his birthday, right??

He loves to slide down, but he really loves to climb up!

And I had to share this because it's just cute. Liam loves to look at himself in the phone camera, and it always guarantees a big dimple-y smile!

Liam's normal morning routine - staring out our bedroom window or the backdoor, banging on the glass, and yelling "dog!"

Friday night we went out to dinner and forgot a bib, so Will fashioned one out of one of the napkins. We were cracking up because he looks like a little bandit!

Can you tell how much he loved the black bean dip??

We went on a walk yesterday and it was SO windy! Liam's hair was all over the place. I know how you feel, bud!

Of course, we had to stop at the park to swing!

He is always happy when he's swinging!

Liam's birthday party is THIS Saturday! I have a few last minute little things to take care of for it, and a lot of grocery shopping to do. I can't believe my baby will be ONE in 10 days! (I had 11 until I realized I typed this up a day early. Duh! I can count!) The countdown is on!

St. Patty's Day Fun!

Liam and I threw a St. Patrick's Day themed play date yesterday. Everyone wore green, and I put together some themed goodies for the mamas and babies!

The spread.

Rainbow fruit with a pot of gold :)

Shamrock cookies.

AppleApple squeezes.

Lucky Charms in cupcake liners + free printable.

We had a little photo shoot before our guests arrived.

This was the best group shot we got! 6 boys and 1 little miss :)

Notice how Liam's face looks a little red? Well, he really looked like this during most of the shoot...

Can you tell Liam was ready for his guests to leave??! He was a good host, but he was SO ready for a nap! He crashed as soon as they left.

And one more just for fun :)

P.S. Indoor dogs with thick nails who like to run + wood floors don't mix. Lesson learned.
