flash friday

Happy Friday! We are all looking forward to this upcoming weekend. Liam & Olive will be spending with weekend with Grandma & Grandpa Bonomo. Andrew and I will be out of town for the weekend to celebrate Matt & Brie's wedding. I am not sure who will have more fun this weekend, Liam or Grandma & Grandpa.

We went pumpkin picking last weekend with the Sanders Family. It started off as a chilly day (hence hat & mittens) but gradually warmed up and turned out to be a great day.

Liam would have been happier crawling around in the dirt.  Just not enough action in the bjorn.

After tearing off his own shoes, he got down and dirty.

Liam has started to take a few (three-four) steps on his own. He started off by standing and then just going. It usually starts with either Andrew or I helping him get his balance. Once he is standing  we let go and off he goes. After a couple steps in, Liam will either fall back on his bum or fall forward- however, he knows enough to put his arms in front of him to lessen the impact of the fall. It is pretty amazing to watch. He gets so excited when he travels between Andrew and I. You can't begin to imagine the excitement Andrew and I have when we watch our little boy taking a few steps at walking.

Steady! (look @ that face!)

Ready!

Go! Someone was very excited...

We are discovering new foods that Liam really enjoys eating. This week he went bananas for home-made mac & cheese and home made pizza. I did not get any photos of him with his mac & cheese because he was eating it so fast there just was not enough time to get the camera out. He also has been enjoying graham crackers as well. I am very happy that he is adventurous with trying out new foods.

pizza! pizza!

And finally, Andrew and I have come to terms that Liam is turning one in less than two months. So we started to come up with some ideas for the 1st birthday party. Invitations designed and being printed today!!
