Last Saturday, Liam's cousin Natalie turned one! Unbelievable! I feel like we were just meeting her in the hospital for the first time. I remember it like it was yesterday. We found out we were pregnant 10 days after she was born. So I guess part of me has to admit that if Natalie's a year old, then my baby is here in the flesh and growing fast. Maybe that's why it's all so unbelievable.
Anyways, Natalie's party was a blast. Liam really enjoyed himself (he LOVES any activity that has to do with people). And thanks to Auntie Chell's Ergo, we didn't have to fight him on his nap! PHEW!

Last Sunday Liam went to the beach for the first time ever! He wasn't in the best of moods (we think it may have been the hat--he's not really a fan of them!). Either way, something put him in a fussy mood, so we were only able to get a couple of shots & we never did make it to the water. He spent the majority of the afternoon fast asleep in my arms--guess the ocean does that to him?!

| Staring at the sand... so far, going well! |
 |
| Now we're staring at our feet. Should have known, when this little guy isn't focusing on everything around him, he's sleepy! |
 |
| Feet in the sand for the first time! |
 |
| Uncle Jake, Ryan & Papa |
 |
| And he's over it! |
 |
| About as close to the water as we got all day! |
 |
| Wet sand didn't make him any happier |

| Wide awake at home! |

Considering we live a couple of blocks away from the beach, we've promised Liam we'd try another outing to the beach soon. We're convinced he had an "off" day and would actually enjoy the beach "normally". Guess we'll see...
Today we went to the pumpkin patch at Avila Valley Barn. Liam's first pumpkin patch! We had a great time. Photos in my next post... this mama is off to bed! Liam hasn't been sleeping too well (he is definitely teething--his gums are tender, he's sucking/chewing on anything & everything, including his own bottom lip, he's drooling a lot more & he's really restless) so needless to say I'm exhausted!
