Two for Two

I no longer have a baby, but another kid. 

I love this picture because he looks like such the little man. 

Over Songkran, Liam turned two in age and attitude.  Because we were on vacation for his actual birthday, he was the lucky one who had a birthday that went for a week plus with multiple celebrations and two parties!!  We had one at the resort where the staff at dinner made him a pancake, turned out the lights and everyone sang.  He LOVED it.  We had the other party when we got home and had his neighborhood and daycare friends over for a "pool" party with pizza and cake.  He was adorable with his expressions and excitement with presents and cake.  He is not only a very loving little boy, but very expressive (in good and bad times).

Over break Liam also had his annual exam.  The exam was a little different than we had the year before in the States.  In addition to looking at his growth and such, he also had a blood test and chest x-ray.  All turned out perfect.

2 Year Stats:
Weight and Height: 12.9 kg (28 lbs) and 86 cm (just under 3 feet).  He is not a big guy.  Built more like a bull dog: short and broad.  I am afraid he is taking more after my father than his father.
Physical Examination: All normal  Blood Count: In normal range Blood Chemistry: Normal, but iron low. Chest X-Ray: Normal sized heart and such.  Mom count: Perfect little boy.

Developmental:  Liam is a talker, but sometimes it doesn't always makes sense.  He can express his wants and feelings pretty well and speaks 3-4 word sentences.  He is a good eater and LOVES Thai/Asian food.  He also has a sweet tooth and often asks for candy.  His favorite people are mommy, sister and Goma.  But, dad always needs to be accounted for and near by.    He thinks he is a BIG kid and keeps up with the neighborhood gang. His favorite activities are playing cars, riding his scooter and jumping on the trampoline.

Happy Beach Birthday

I am raising him to be a lover.
