Halloween 2012

Well, it's that time of year again. When there's a holiday every single month for 4 months straight! First up is Halloween. Liam celebrated Halloween last year, but slept through most of it - as you can see at this post: "Happy Halloween" a tale (more so a tell-all photo) of Liam's first Halloween. haha... This year Liam was a little more enthused about the idea of dressing up in a costume, seeing pumpkins, dancing, animals, and anything else fun that is associated with celebrating Halloween (sorry son, you're too young for candy). We first started out by going to Party City and picking Liam's costume out. He decided to be a dinosaur and we were more than thrilled with his choice. On Saturday we got up and decided the weather was nice enough to head out to Dewberry Farm. We had such a great time there! We visited their HUGE pumpkin patch field! It was a large field with tons of pumpkins and we took plenty of pictures of Liam. He even took off walking through the pumpkins at one point. Then we headed to the corn maze and got lost for a LONG time! lol... When we escaped it turns out we had only made it through 1/4 of the maze! After that we were exhausted and decided to head home for the day. The next morning we went to the zoo for the Houston Zoo's Halloween celebration--Zoo Boo! It was so much fun! We walked in right on time and caught a performance of people, who were dressed as animals, doing Gangnam style. Then we saw the Dinosaurs exhibit that is in Houston right now and then we walked around and let Liam enjoy the sites! After the zoo we headed to McGovern Lake and hung out on the grass to enjoy the weather. It was much too nice to rush home and miss out on such a beautiful day! That's about all we did for Halloween. What fun things did you do to celebrate?

13 Months Old!

Well, another month has passed and Liam is now a 13 month old. We had a pretty exciting weekend considering Liam walked for the first time on Friday night (the night before he turned 13 months). Way to time it right, little man! LOL... A few wks ago on Oct. 2nd, Liam took 4 steps in a row, but never did it again so we just brushed it off as a fluke. Well, this time he's really walking. He still prefers crawling, but he knows how to walk and does it when he feels like it. He has become very keen on just taking off and walking across the living room like a seasoned pro! The weekend went well. We went out to lunch on Saturday and made our weekly trip to the grocery store. We had originally planned on taking Liam to the pumpkin patch on Saturday to celebrate his second Halloween and to have him pick out his first pumpkin, but that plan quickly went South when we pulled up to "Old McDonald's Farm" and their pumpkin patch wasn't anything more than a group of picnic tables with tiny hand-held-sized pumpkins on them. Kobe & I just decided to wait it out and go to a real pumpkin patch next weekend! Anywho, that's about all we did on Saturday--Liam's 13 month birthday. hehe... Excuse the time lapse, I originally typed this up on Oct. 21st & never hit "publish." Oops!! Here are some videos from the weekend of Liam's 13 months!

Good morning! I'm 13 months old!

The first video we got of Liam walking-and taking a dive! lol

Hope y'all enjoyed that! Have a great weekend!
