Birthday and Santa

We were recently honored to be invitees to a friend's daughter's first birthday party.  Liam had a lot of fun visiting with his friends and seeing his Aunties and Uncles from Mama's work.

Christmas Chaos

Apologies for the dearth of posts lately.   I don't think Mikey and I were quite prepared for the slightly manic chaos that marks baby's first Christmas.  After five months, we're used to things taking longer to do, but the holidays, with the concomitant parties and shopping, have proven to be a bit overwhelming.  But, I am happy to report that at a week before Christmas, nearly all of the presents have been purchased, most have been given to their respective owners, and we're looking forward to spending time with family this coming weekend.

And now for another installment of...Clothes That No Longer Fit Liam!



This is the "Beetles Rock" t-shirt that we got compliments of Uncle Brandon.  We really need to start trying clothes earlier...we've got a pattern of waiting a touch too long and then the clothes are already too small the first time we put them on!



And this is our handsome Japanese boy in the outfit Grandma and Grandpa Bob brought him back from Okinawa.  The shorts are pretty much done already, but the kimono top is still good for a little while.  Jeans, anyone?
