14 Months

Liam is officially 14 months old, and I'm wondering where the time has gone.  He seems bigger everyday, and is soaking life in like a sponge.  He says and waves, "bye-bye."  Have I told you that already?  Who knows?!  He is working on his 7th tooth, and is signing "more" and "all-done" (the all- done isn't consistent yet, but it's getting there ;o)  I appreciate the all-done MUCH more than getting food thrown in my face, so this one is REALLY exciting people!  Music, cars, balls, and Liam's "special" red screwdriver (yes, a toy) are still some of his favorites.  Naps are getting shorter...YIKES!...and playing is getting more invigorating.  

"Playing with cars is fun...I like to make noise when the cars are driving now!"

"Hi, Mom!"

Sensory Time:  Learning what soft feels like...I like it!

"Mommy, do you want to feel?  It's really nice."

That all for now.  I'm trying to stay on top of this thing.  I really have some idea NO IDEA where my days go.  

Winter on the Lake

OOOOO...pretty...I wish the lake was always this low...lot's of room to run and play!

Last one, I promise...

Brrr...

Leavin' on a Jet Plane

Liam and I just got back from a long trip with out Clint!  Whew...2 weeks felt really long without Clint!  After we got back, I was thanking Jesus for not making me a single parent.  I will be praying extra blessings over those who are.  Here are just a few pictures from the trip.

First stop, PORT ORCHARD!  Again, sorry for the red eyes...no time to edit right now ;o)

Happy Birthday Liam!

We had a "hoot" of a time at Liam's First Birthday.  One Great-Grandma, 2 Grandmas, 1 Papa, 1 Auntie, 1 Mommy, 1 Daddy, and one Birthday Boy were in attendance.  It was so much fun!

Christmas

Ok...We'll it's been MUCH too long since I've posted pictures of Baby Fin.  My main reason for not posting...I'M a little WAY BEHIND ON EDITING PICTURES.  BUT...I was thinking to myself...the people who look at this blog don't care how great the pictures look, they just want too SEE Liam growing.  So here you are...un-edited photos!

POLSON FUN:

Christmas at home...December 17th

Mommy, I will pout until you give me some caramel rolls...enough of this baby food!

I will open all of my presents with my teeth thank you very much!

Way back when...in December...We had a very fun Christmas break this year.  Clint had two weeks off from work, and we were able to spend some quality time will family.  This was the first Christmas we have been able to be home in a few years, so we were pretty excited.  Liam wasn't sure what to think of opening gifts at first, but by the end of his birthday he was a pro.
