new blinkie

our social worker sent us the new blinkie over to the right. hope it shows up! :) november is adoption awareness month. this week is an exciting time for me because a dear online friend is finalizing the adoption of her 3 boys - all biological brothers - from foster care. their family day is this friday. the boys are just excited to be going to chuckie cheese!

liam had a fun weekend - he inherited several of my old toys (and some from his uncle too.) he has already figured out how to use the "power tools." he is also obsessed with his KEYS, one of his new favorite words. oh, and he gained 2 lbs in 5 weeks! up to 23 lbs finally.

what could have been

happy 2nd birthday sweet angel.

barkin' in memphis

liam made his 2nd trip to memphis for the national flyball championships. i think he had more fun this year because he kept saying BARK BARK, doggie, ball and flyball all weekend. :) he played with his friends and watched lots of flyball. liffey is proud to announce that her teammates won their division and she got to play flyball with other little fuzzy dogs just like her! i think liam was a little confused as to why there were so many liffeys running around. :)

a new word every day!

liam seems to be popping out a new word every day for the last few days. yesterday was "alright?" after he fell down and today he told liffey "GO." he also repeated big bird and moon yesterday.

on saturday we went to a dog event, and the first think liam said when we stopped the car was "flyball?" he got to see some of his flyball friends though, so that is always fun. i got out his sidewalk chalk, and he seems to like drawing with that. he is not as gifted at drawing as he is at talking just yet, but he'll get there. :)
