Or not. Two days after his annual check up and shots I get a call from daycare. I was told that Liam wasn't acting his "normal" self and that he was crying and only wanted to be held. He didn't have a fever and that I didn't need to pick him up asap, but just an FYI. So of course I leave to get him and manage to schedule an appointment with his pediatrician for that afternoon. When he saw the doctor on Tuesday, I asked for his ears to be checked because he had been pulling on his ears and I wanted to rule out an ear infection. Ears looked clear and no signs of infection.  Fast forward to Thursday. His ears get checked and of course he has an ear infection. So he is on antibiotics again and we are hoping the infection clears up. Liam is not letting the infection stop him. He is a walking & talking machine.

1 yr check up

Liam had his 1 year well child visit. My boy now weighs : 20lbs, 13oz and is 29 inches in length. According to his pediatrician Liam is doing excellent. Yay!

We are finally unpacked and back into the swing of things after returning from our trip to the Outer Banks, NC. We had a wonderful time. The weather was pleasant, the house was awesome and being with family was the best!  Liam did fabulous on the plane rides. As expected, he was friendly with everyone who was seated around us and even played a game of peek-a-boo with a women who sat behind us. He really only got fussy at one point when we were waiting to get off the plane. But honestly, everyone was getting fussy.

 1st destination

The ride from the airport to the OBX was a bit longer than expected. We hit rush hour traffic, Liam had a melt down and it was dark out- everything takes longer in the dark. Once we finally arrived to our final destination, we all had smiles on our faces.

but I think Grandma Nan had the biggest smile of all

Liam had his 3rd 1st birthday party while we were in the Outer Banks, NC. I think the former two parties prepared him for the third party. No cake melt downs, no passing out. Just. plain. fun. I know I have said this before, but I will say it again, he is one super, lucky, little boy who has so many people who care about him in his life. Here is a photo recap of the party:
