Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

'Tis his first holiday season!

This will be Liam's first Christmas and that makes it lots of fun. But all his first (and seconds, and thirds, etc) are fun. Lately we've had a lot of those. He got his first Christmas pictures done. We sent out our first family Christmas cards. The first time he "helped" decorate the Christmas tree (tried to eat the ornaments and even the tree!). His first picture with Santa. He tried cheerios for the first time (he loves them! and anything he can eat by himself--we also have tried puffs, yogurt bites and small pieces of apples, bananas and peaches). He pushed up into a sitting position from a crawling position for the first time. The first time he took a bath in the big bathtub (he was trying to climb out of his baby bathtub). His first big boy car seat. The first time he went to a birthday party. He also now weighs over 20 lbs (at his 8 mo appt he was 20 lbs 5 1/2 oz, 27 1/2 inches tall). He also got his second tooth in right before Thanksgiving so now he has both bottom teeth. Also some not so fun firsts, like his first illness. He was sick with a virus for a couple weeks that turned into bronchiolitis. It was heartbreaking to hear that little cough. Thankfully he is all better now. There have been so many firsts it is hard to remember them all but here are a few pictures to help you see what we've been up to.

This is the best picture I have of his new teeth, you can see how happy he was about it.
He's glowing! Just kidding, he moved while I was taking the picture. You wouldn't believe how often this happens.
Just too cute! All bundled up for a cold day.
Playing with his friend Greg.
