This post has to start with a picture of my gorgeous nephew since he's the birthday boy! Ben turned one this past Friday and we were able to celebrate at his party on Saturday. It was nice to have the Basye family together and great to see Ben enjoy his special day. Liam also had a ton of fun playing with his cousin and his new water table:
This past month has been a ton of fun with Liam. We were able to celebrate Easter with both families. The weekend before Easter, we headed to Virginia Beach for Liam's first easter egg hunt. Unfortunately, the hunt was right in the middle of his nap, which we had to wake him up from, so he was a bit out of it at first and took a bit to wake up:
All Ready to Hunt
Okay, you got me here...now what?
Now he's catching on!
After the hunt, we all headed to the neighborhood playground for some great fun. (As you can see, Liam woke up by this point)
Riding with Mimi
Wheeeeeeee!!!
Sunday, the boys even made it to the beach to visit the Atlantic:
The following weekend we traveled to NJ for Easter. Grandmichaele kept little man very busy with lots of Easter activities, including:
Decorating Peeps
Visiting a Sheep Farm
Hunting for Eggs
And Simply Hanging Out
On Easter Sunday, we all headed out to Pennsylvania for fun at Bill and Erin's. Liam had a ton of fun with his cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Here are some highlights of the day:
Other than all this fun we've been having, Liam has been doing really great. He still likes school, but has a bit of difficulty being dropped off with all the long weekends he's had. The lack of routine really throws him off, as he'd rather stay home with us. He is using the potty now and then at school, but we aren't even trying at home right now. We won't even begin to tackle that until the summer. He is learning and ton and LOVES to sing us songs that he learns at school. You can hear him sing his ABC song in one of his recent videos that you can watch on the link to his video site.
He is getting to be such a big boy now and really helps a lot around the house. He doesn't really know about the baby yet, but says he wants one for his birthday (he LOVES all babies). He is always checking up on me though, and pats my head and says "You okay, mama?" So sweet.

Liam is still loving Gymboree and lives for the outdoors. Taylor recently got Liam a massive bubble blower, so this is his latest obsession.
We have another quiet weekend at home coming up. We have been starting to spend some of this time slowly preparing for Baby Basye. Most of it right now is clearing out things we don't need and figuring out what we do. Fun fun! We had an appointment on Friday and heard the heartbeat...in the 150s. Everything looked good and ultrasound scheduled next month.
Will update more this weekend so as to avoid these huge long posts.
