Thanksgiving 2010

I didn't do a great job taking picture on Thanksgiving, but I didn't ruin the meal either, so I guess it's a good trade. We had everyone at our house for the first time ever.
We had a great time and no kitchen disasters (which I was fearful of)

Liam made placecards for everyone

Me and my first turkey ever . . . stuffed with Grandma Murrays stuffing recipe
The best attempt at a family photo
After dinner Liam put on his pajamas and then entertained us with a search for his imaginary friend . . .

Museum Time

Last Friday I was lucky enough to not have swim practice, so Aunt Jaclyn Liam and I headed out to Philly since we haven't been to the musuem since June. . . We invited Tara and Jackson to come with us. . .

Liam was happy to show Jackson (who just turned 1) all the fun cool stuff to do . . .
Jackson loved the tunnels and once he's walking he's going to love the museum

Playing piano

Then we went to visit Uncle Adam in South Philly at his house . . .

We had a great time walking through the streets and Liam loved seeing all the people walking their dogs. He would go up to the owners and say "excuse me, can I pet the dog" - it was so cute.

We had dinner at the P.O.P.E (Pub on Passyunk East) and Liam was great all day long!

Namaste

I decided that we need to find another way for Liam to burn energy between bathtime and storytime with something other than him running laps around the family room. . .

I went to the library today and picked up a Yoga for Kids DVD. I do yoga at the gym once a week and love how relaxed and peaceful I feel afterwards so I thought I'd try it with Liam.

Here is a modified standing half moon pose

He loved doing it, but he wasn't as zen as I hoped.

Cobra stretch (we weren't always following the video)

He was great at downward dog, Murray looks pretty zen - at least that's someone

Warrior 2

an attempt at bridge . . .

We are going to try to do it each night this week. He's also decent at tree pose, but I didn't get a shot of it. Hopefully each night he'll relax a little more. At one point I was doing dolphin pose and he hopped on my back - not so peaceful.

When we came upstairs to go to bed he was upset that yoga was over and showed Daddy some of his poses.

At least he likes it- my little Yogi

Big Crazy Kid

Liam seems to be losing more baby fat by the day. He looks like a kid - not a baby anymore.

Here is my stylish guy . . .

This is from the other night before bed. First he was running laps back and forth through the family room. His favorite thing is to make us smell his "stinky toes" even though he just took a bath. He thinks its hilarious if we act like his feet smell bad. Boys are weird.

Off to Nana and Pop Pops for Sunday night dinner and some Eagles football
