Meet the Morgans: 11 months old

I feel like all I've blogged about lately are these month milestones lol. Life has been crazy busy for us and I should be better about getting all the fun we are having down here so we remember. #lifegoals

His long hair before we cut it

Here we are though, 11 months old! Crazy how quick this year has gone. Liam has been walking since Sept (7 months old) but just taking a step here or there preferring to cruise for awhile. Then he moved to using everything he could to get him around. Didn't matter if it was hanging on mom and dad's leg, pushing around chairs, walking with the dogs, using another kid for support he found ways to get around quick with out walking independently too much. I mean why walk by yourself when you can run with friends right?! But for the last couple months he has slowly been walking more and more on his own and is now running around everywhere. He chases the dogs, which is mostly a love love relationship but sometimes I think they just want a break from him. But winter break is over and he is back in daycare so they are all VERY happy to see each other when we get home each day. He just squeals when he sees them and lets them kiss him all over. Then they move on to playing chase.

First time at the Dinosaur museum, of course he just wanted to eat the sand

Cuddles with mom, love when he is in these moods

Winter break, guess I should talk about that for a minute. My new job, I work with schools, so since they get a winter break I got to work from home for 2 weeks and by work from home I mean I looked at my email once a day and took a couple calls. It was wonderful. Just me and my boys. We started off with having wedding fun with the Watkins and enjoying them being in Utah. We got to play with some of our favorite babies, Jonny and Eli. We also got to have several of my family members in town.

These days there are often a car in each hand

all bundled up for our cold weather here in utah

After the wedding fun we went to the museums by our house and got lots of family time in. We enjoyed Liam's first Christmas. He opened a few gifts but let dad open his others. It was a great couple of weeks. Brian got an additional week off from school so he and Liam got to spend that together. They went to the museum everyday and made lots of friends. It was so fun seeing them at the end of the day and hearing about all the fun they had together.

This was so fun, he just stood there unphased by us all staring at him and his floating head

Lunch with Auntie Tor and Uncle Justin

Now Brian is back in school, just 3 semesters left! Liam started a new daycare this week so we are dealing with that transition. He is adjusting to the newness of it all but is in an older class now so is with 1-2 year olds. I think he will soon love it and will be back to being sad when I make him leave his friends each day.

flying on the dust broom with dad

He is now putting shapes in their matching holes.
He thinks its really funny for some reason

Dad thought it was funny to tease him that the shark would eat him, of course Liam just laughed about it.

Back to Liam being 11 months old. He is running everywhere. He still LOVES his baths and his new goal is to get as much water as he can outside of the tub. He has eczema that we have to "finger paint" medicated lotion onto him each day and he just loves the pampering of that all. The boy that struggles to sit still will sit as long as you are massaging that lotion on him. He is "snuggling" more. And by that I mean he will sit from time to time with you. We play music videos on the tv sometimes and have discovered that he is a Belieber! He loves Justin B and when he hears the Sorry song start he just sits and stares. So it is often playing at our house when mom needs to make dinner with both hands or the like. He is beginning to dance to it, cutest thing ever.

Table fort fun!

This tupperware cabinet is his favorite, while Mom cooks he empties it for me ;)

Hair cut time with dad, he looks so big here!

The big boy cut after that matches the big boy attitude in this pic

He loves to drink out of mom and dad's cups. Walks around with his bottle and eats everything he can get his hands on. He loves to put things in the toilet, to try and crawl out the dog door, and thinks the dining room table is his own personal fort and just sits under there with his toys. He loves going up and down the stairs and if you follow him its instantly a game of chase. He likes to climb up and sit on his table and play hide and seek. He gives high fives and can say dada AND mama now. Still loving the color red. He will be having a Circus birthday party and I have started working on things and he just giggles at all the red there is involved. Which is input enough for me that he loves the theme!

Liam and his dust mop, this is literally his favorite thing.
He carries it everywhere and loves to cuddle with it ha ha
I don't get it but don't want to discourage him from cleaning either lol

This is his favorite, but he doesn't like to let go of the ball after he puts it in the hole,
we're slowly working on trusting that it will come out if he does.

Everything goes in the mouth, this is a wipe that he decided he needed to carry around like a puppy.

More museum fun!

He is such a fun, happy little guy and we are happy to have spent so much time with him over the last few weeks. He is no longer acting like a baby which is sad, but we are loving the new chapter he is entering just as much.

This is a new thing, he slowly lowers his blanket out of the crib like he is planning an escape,
keeping a close eye on this one to see how it develops.

Big boy liam playing with his table, he loves music!

From baby dolls to babies of our own. So fun to get together with these guys.

Shopping with dad. Dad always has the best ideas and Liam thinks he is so much fun.

Drinking moms water. He is so proud of himself when he does this.

Getting ready to make an escape. I think his dislike of snow is the only thing keeping him inside these days.

Decided to try and eat the tablet that made his water blue, saw it coming and swiped it just as he was doing it.
But the blue drool that continued for a bit still gave me a good laugh.
