Update

Wow it has been since Christmas since I posted last.  Nothing really special going on.  Just growing like a weed.  He will be 15 months old the end of this month. :(  He is walking everywhere and has even started running at times.  He gets into everything!  He would much rather chew on the dog toys than play with his own.  His favorite place to be is in the bathroom.  I think he has a sensor and knows when I forget to close the bathroom door.  He gets in my drawer that has all my pony tail holders and bobbie pins and throws them everywhere.  He also likes our toothbrushes and we occasionally find him in his room chewing on them while he watches tv.



He still only has 6 teeth.  Four on the top and two on the bottom.  He is a good eater still.  Unless you give him peas and carrots.  He loves peas and picks them out and leaves the carrots on his plate, or gives them to the dog.  He is in size 4 diapers now.  Not really sure how much he weighs, we go to the Dr. here soon.  He knows all the sounds to Dog, Cat, Cow, Pig and Chicken.  Ask him to shake his booty and he does just that! It is soooo cute!  He loves to dance.  Disney Channel is still his favorite.  Right now he is hooked on Special Agent Oso, but will watch any show that comes on.




Temper, temper, temper.  This child can be the cutest, sweetest little boy and at the drop of a hat be mean.  He doesn't like to be told No and will fall to the ground fake crying.  Or he will give you his bad eyes and hit you. Urgh!  I hope that this isn't a glimpse of what we have to look forward to and is just a phase.  Please let this be a phase! lol


I have had a birthday in this lapse of blogging.  Just another day really.  I had my second 25th birthday. :) Here is my baby in his birthday suit!




We also missed Valentine's day.  Nothing special there either.  We all got cards and candy.  Liam got new sippy cups with straws in them.  Ryan and I signed up for the 5K Foam Fest and that was our gift to each other.  I had to work. :(  But I got a message while I was at work .....


He will forever be my Valentine!!!!

I have become kind of obsessed with working out and running.  Summer is coming up and I have not only had a child but I feel I have let myself go.  I want to be healthy for Liam and want to be a good example for him.  So, on days that I don't work I spend about 2 hours running and weight lifting.  This year will be the year of 5K races for me.  They are keeping me motivated to keep going.  So far I am signed up for Manchester's St. Patty's Day 5K, The Color Run and 5K Foam Fest.  There are many here in town that I need to sign up for and there is the Glo Run coming up that I want to do too.  I started on my birthday and its been 5 weeks now.  I am proud of myself.  I haven't really seen much progress but I know that I can't stop.  My partner in crime is my BFF Holly.  Our friend Troy is our own personal trainer.  He is working on his personal training license and I highly recommend him when he gets finished!




I took the course for my handgun permit and qualified the same weekend.  I go to get my fingerprints this week and then it will be official!  Bobbi and I qualified together.  Here we are with our silhouettes. Oh, and Liam loves to wear my earmuffs!



We also turned his carseat around a few months ago.  He had started kicking the seat so we figured it was time.  We also put new DVD headrests in so that keeps him preoccupied while I'm driving.  He loves that he gets to look outside and see everything the right way!


Im going to end my blog with a picture of my little model.  And he loves his Aunt Maggie!!!!


Training Partner

Yesterday Liam was my personal trainer.  Holly and I have been training to run a 5k and yesterday I couldn't find anyone to watch him so that I could run, so we decided to push him in his stroller.  In a regular stroller. :S Needless to say it was tough and I need to find a running stroller!  It was his nap time so I was hoping he would fall asleep and in the last five minutes he finally did.  There was too much stuff going on at the beginning and he was too interested in the new scenery and reading his Mickey Mouse book.  We went around the neighborhood until we finished our intervals. It is so much easier to run outside than it is to run on a treadmill.  Now i dread it when the weather is yucky outside because that means I have to run inside.  Here are some pics from yesterdays run.
