Liam turns 2

This picture is Liam on his second birthday.  I wanted to remember what we did for his actual birthday, then his party later.

 

On Liam's birthday, we had his 2 year checkup.  He and I drove to the Castleton office of his pediatrician by ourselves.  After waiting 45 minutes for our appointment, we finally saw the doctor and everything looked great.  Liam weighed 30 pounds and was 37 inches tall.  His alphabet and number/color/shape skills were closer to meeting the standards for a 3 year old than a 2 year old.  She was super happy with everything.

After his appointment, he and I played outside for a long time.  We did sidewalk chalk and bubbles and rode  his tricycle.  Then he had lunch and a nap.  Mariah was supposed to come visit, but she got sick, so I took a nap with Liam that afternoon.  We had dinner, and cupcakes with dinner.  After cupcakes, Aunt Lauren came down from Chicago.  She and Liam played together for a while, and he stole her dinner.  When it was time for Liam to go to bed, Lauren and I went to Target to start preparing for Liam's party...and we shopped and cooked until 11:30 that night to be prepared.
