little boy wonder

The summertime has brought so many fun moments for my kiddos.  I think some of my posts in the past have proven that over and over.  They always find something to do with their time.  When they are indoors it usually involves making forts, watching TV, building towers, making pretend costumes, listening and dancing to music, doing crafts, or playing hide and seek and so on.  When they are outdoors it's about playing with weeds, cars and sand, ant bullying, catching or examining bugs, posing for pictures, having fun with chalk and bubbles, playing tag, making music videos, people and car watching, painting, swinging, riding toys and licking suckers, racing cars, reinventing hopscotch, sporting cool shades, and maybe occasionally swimming in the street.  Both locations have so much to offer for my little guys, but I think the outdoors takes the cake on most exciting.

Liam is getting older.  It's obvious things are changing in his world.  It's hard for me to imagine that he has any kind of issues, especially a dislocated hip with the way he gets around.  It doesn't bother him and he's happy.  He laughs at the silliest things, mainly at himself.  He's not even two and he already sees the humor in life.  He's simple.  He is very well behaved.  Sometimes quiet and in his own world.  He loves the security and love he feels within his family.  I love how he takes my finger to go for a walk (a new favorite).  Oh, and I can't forget to mentioned that he's super cuddly and very affectionate.  Melting hearts as he goes.  He can't talk to us yet, but his body language is always a dead giveaway as to what is going on in that little head of his.  Speaking of which, I love how the sun reflects off of his sandy blonde locks, making his hair a gold color.  So pretty.  Liam is our perfect little boy wonder.

Here is a little glimpse into Liam's world:

 Exploring the lawn...

 

 Picking weeds...

People watching...

Finding big brother's crazy antics to be hysterical...

Going for short walks...

Kicking his feet in different directions...

Enjoying our neighbor's car music as they pass by...

 Laughing at himself...

Showing off his yoga skills.  Liam likes being a trend setter for his peers...

And of course, playing with half dead, sun-beaten plants...

 

I can't wait for Liam's 2nd birthday, y'all! He's getting so big! August 12th can't get here fast enough...well, August 13th to be more specific. His party is on the 13th. So excited!
