Puppy Love

As many of you have seen, Liam and Jack (our Golden Retreiver) have a great relationship. He uses Jack as a step stool (see a few posts below) and Jack gets a back massage. Liam also loves to give kisses to Jack as well, and thinks he makes a great pillow:

OK...So when do I get my permit?

Forget the tricycle.

Throw out the Big Wheel.

Let's skip the bike.

Liam is going straight to driving:

Mr. Creative

One of the places that Liam loves to play is on the couch. He likes to climb across all of the pillows that we have scattered across it and then look over the end. Perhaps he'll be a mountain climber one day (however, we think he would prefer Dentistry..ask later).

Due to obvious safety concerns, we normally dont let him on the couch to play unless someone is sitting there with him to monitor him so that he doesnt plop off of it, and hit his noggin on the floor or the coffee table. Now, he cant get up there by himself, however, recently he's shown a little creativity in establishing a new way to get up there...

The 4th of July

For the Fourth, we went over to the Olathe Medical Center for the fireworks show that is put on by the City, which they shoot off over the (not-so) Great Mall of The Great Plains. We got there early to camp out a good spot to tailgate at, and waited for the sun to set.

Liam enjoyed the fireworks, and wasn't scared at all, either by the booms or the bangs, and even squealed and clapped. He loved it.

It was a pain getting out of there, with proably close to a thousand cars trying to get out of there, but of course, he was crashed by the time we even got the car moving...

Liam Slideshow

Here is a slideshow that I put together with some pictures of Liam from when Mom and Dee came to visit! Pretty cute!

Happy 1st Birthday Liam!

Happy Birthday Liam!

While Liam's birthday was on the 30th, we celebrated on the 31st. We had the usual party...hamburgers and brats, drinks, birthday cake, the works. We celebrated in usual style and everyone got to see the birthday boy and think back on how much he has grown. It really is amazing.

When Amy ordered the cake, it came with an additional 1st Birthday cake, which was about as big around as a compact disc, and about an inch high. Rather than regular icing, it was just colored whipped cream. It was just for Liam, so he could enjoy his first birthday in all his spledor, which he certainly did. Here is the series of events:

Go!
