Birthday Bliss

Liam and Grace are giving Mom a great birthday so far!  

Grace is still a big sleeper, through trips to the park and "high-fives" to the belly, she puts up with a lot.  She's starting to smile and coo a little bit and holds her head up like a champ.  And Liam's doing great, he's probably got 5-10 new words a day.  He likes to count things, "two, three, two, three," sometimes adding on "four."  And he's big on "almost," making sure that anything (puzzles, picking up blocks, watching friends leave after a playdate) is totally complete. He also loves dancing, pushing the right buttons on his toys to play music for his impromptu dance parties.  He is a smart and sweet little guy!

Here she is in STL

Liam had a great time too!

We had a wonderful day celebrating with Katie and Joe!

And here are some pics at home

We had a fun visit from almost all of the Horns, including a blueberry-picking trip!

And Liam started swim classes this weekend - his expression shows it all, he loves the water, not so much instruction or restrictions.  He'll definitely be a fish this summer!
