Dreaming of Spring

The past couple of days have been absolutely beautiful! We've been hit with a bit of warm weather, and we def. made sure to take advantage of it while it was here. We went on long walks, took Liam to the park numerous times, and just took time to enjoy being outside. I hate being cooped up inside the house because of cold weather. This brief period of warm weather made me super excited for spring to come! I'm ready for the warm weather to stay permanently.

My friend Esther ended up showing up at the park while we were there. I'm glad they did because Liam had so much fun running around with Emma, copying everything she was doing lol. He loved going down the big kid slide with her while she held his hand. 

He loves saying cheese for the camera :)

I am seriously so amazed at all the new things Liam has been learning lately. He is catching on to things so quickly and it makes me so happy to watch him learn and grow. He's been "talking" like crazyyyy lately! He will just sit there and have conversations with his toys. It is absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen. I love this stage that he's in. I think it's so much fun! I especially love when I ask him questions and he actually answers me. It's weird to know that he actually comprehends what I'm asking or saying to him. My little baby is growing up so fast.

Has to carry his Mickey everywhere he goes =)

When we do end up being stuck inside, Liam usually spends that time torturing our poor fur baby lol. He loves playing with her, but she is terrified of him haha. They get along great though. Whether she'd admit it or not, she loves playing with him too ;)

Of course in between play time, you gotta stop and take a little snack break while watching Peppa Pig. =)

In other news, I finally found some time to take my sewing machine out of its box and play with it a little! I'm so excited about it! My wonderful MIL got it for me for xmas and I haven't had a chance to play with it until now. I've been looking for a table runner for our coffee bar area for awhile now and since our table isn't that long (it's actually a desk converted into a coffee bar), I can never find the perfect length runner for it. So the other day, while at hobby lobby, I decided to pick up some fabric and make my own. This is the result. It is far from perfect, and I have a lot more learning to do, but I'm loving it! =) 

Sewing is so much fun! I have so many projects in mind that I want to do now! Time to hit hobby lobby, or JoAnn's again! =) PS- jason wanted me to make him some pants... haha I'm not too sure about that, but we shall see! lol

**Edit**

I forgot to post these precious pics of Liam. He has a new found love for hats now. He used to absolutely hate anything on his head so we would have to buy winter hats that had a little buckle under the chin so that he couldn't take it off. But he's been wearing this cute little hat around the past couple of days without complaining. The only catch is, HE has to be the one that puts it on himself. If Jason or I try, he would get mad and take it off lol. 

He also found his elephant that my friend Katy sent him when he was first born. It's been sitting on his bookshelf in his room, but he saw it the other day and wanted it. Jason gave it to him and he has been carrying it everywhere with him. It's so freaking adorable because that elephant looks so big compared to him lol. He absolutely loves it though!
