Christmas!

Liam,
You are so ready for Christmas! You love messing with the Christmas tree... which makes Mommy very mad! You think it's just hilarious to hide under the tree, back in the corner where I can't reach you. Every time you see a pine tree, whether it has lights or not, you yell "Christmas tree!" and it's the cutest thing ever. We've been to the mall a few times, to watch other kids sit on Santa's lap. You haven't done it yet, but I'm hopeful that you won't be afraid when the time comes!

We got our first snow this weekend, and I bought you snowpants and boots. You haven't actually been outside in them yet though, because it's really cold. You love wearing the snowpants and boots in the house though. You think it's fun to fall backwards to the floor, because the snowpants give you extra padding. You also like to walk around, watching your feet, because your boots light up! Very exciting!

You say so many words now. Last night, we were reading a book, and you pointed at the animals and said, "Zebra. Monkey. Bear. Kangaroo." I had no idea you could say all those words! You amaze me with new words every day.

You've become quite a daredevil lately. You've always liked to climb, but lately you also like to jump from whatever it is you've climbed! I swear you're going to end up with a broken bone by the time you're 3...

Recently, you've begun to say "I love you, Mommy" after I say "I love you" to you. It just makes me want to cry every time. You're the sweetest boy in the world, Liam. I love you more than anything.

Love,
Mommy
