Liam is 15 months old! Finally, we are all settling in to our new home and adjusting to life in Virginia Beach. We are starting to make friends , enjoying our new home, Daddy's slack schedule, and a very mild winter.
The day after Mommy and Daddy's Christmas Party, I got to go to one of my own. We got to ride on a plane to the North Pole, sing Christmas carols, sit on Santa's lap, eat cake and jump in a moonbounce. I was too young for most of these activities, but regardless, I had a blast!

This old hairy man dressed in red tried to make me sit on his lap and give me a gift. I wanted nothing to do with that nonsense!

I am such a Daddy's boy these days. See how happy I am here?

Now see what happens when Mommy tries to hold me? All I want is Daddy who is taking the picture!

Grandmommy came down just for the day, so she could babysit me so Mommy and Daddy could go out for the first time since I have been born. Thank you Grandmommy!

Our first date night in almost a year and half! We went to the squadron Christmas party. Fun!

The Canadian ship was in town and we were lucky to host four fun visitors for a whole day full of Wii, XBox, eating and hanging out with Liam

Here we are at the beach...this one didn't make the cut for the Christmas card...but it's nice background.

And out comes the Tiki monster when he is ready to entertain us!

Here is Liam and Mommy at the Capitol building in Colonial Williamsburg. We took a nice trip there to see the old city.

Halloween 2007
Ah, yes. The Scarecrow, Dorothy, and the little Lion...we will love these family photos one day when we feel too old to dress up.

I'm not sure about this Trick-or-Treating thing, but these gourds are fun!

Trick-or-Treating, here I come!

Why is that pumpkin all lit up? Can someone please explain?

Mommy, what are you dressing me up as?









Come on, let's go!













I'm on the move!












Wow, look at the tree!

Just chillin' with Mama watching a Redskins game with our "new" tv. After being without tv for one month, it was so nice to relax and just watch the games.

Ahhh....warm, sunny beach. After settling on our house in Virginia Beach, we head to the beach to check it out. Back in October, it was still super warm, and Liam loved the sand. He wasn't so crazy about the ocean and the waves though. He cried when they came toward him and was really worried when his Daddy was standing in them. He tried to warn him to get out before he got hurt.

Here he is a couple of days after his first steps, practicing his new fun skill.
