Happy 1st Birthday Liam! Fun at the Fair for Aidan!

Our little boy is 1 today! Mommy and Daddy tell me we are so very blessed-they to have two little boys they love so much and me to have my own little brother. Liam sure was excited to be 1!

Here's the little animal cake we got for Liam. Mommy said when I was 1 I got a puppy cake.

I was very excited to celebrate this day with Liam-hat and all!

Guess who was in the neighborhood and came over to celebrate with us? Grandma Ellen, Grandpa John, Aunt Kelly and her boyfriend-my new fort making buddy-Jared! They all were also excited to wear birthday hats and play with me.

I was in charge of putting candles on the cake and blowing them out for Liam. He was suprised at this process but seemed to like it.

Liam actually had his birthday cupcake before Grandma and Grandpa came because he didn't take a good nap at daycare today-too excited about it being his birthday and all. He got so messy eating it, Mommy had to change his clothes a lot before everyone came over. Liam loves cake like we all do!

Mugsy was pretty pooped out after our little birthday party!

Yesterday we went to the fair. Now that I am almost 4, I am very brave and ready for all the rides. Daddy and I went on the ferris wheel and I loved it. I took Mommy on it too and we could shoot all the zombies from way up high. How do I know about zombies? Well that would be Daddy teaching me important life lessons.

Mommy and I took Liam on his first carousel ride. We didn't know if he liked it, but he sure didn't want to get off it when the ride stopped. This was one of my favorites. I named my horse Grandma Madonna and Liam's was Grandpa Kevin. I am very creative with names I know.

Look who was the train engineer! Me! I was very proud to do this all by myself. I could have spent all day riding rides!

We also saw all kinds of animals at the fair-here Liam is petting a bunny. He was very interested in all of them and never got scared once-probably cause he was almost 1 yesterday. I pet a bunny too and we also saw cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, and even llamas. It was a very fun day!

Busy boys!

Look what I learned to do today! Ride my spiderman bike! I practiced a few times before but today I am nearly a pro. It sure did make my legs tired sometimes, but I didn't even fall over once. I'm ready to bike to the park.
Liam looks like he's saying "Oops" but he's actually doing the silly noise when you run your fingers on your lips. That's what he learned to do last week. Guess what else he learned to do-WALK! He's walked around a few times and suprises us every time. What a big boy we have!


Daddy had a big day yesterday-his 31st birthday! I picked out his cake and lucky him-there was a Cars cake special for his day! I didn't even think they needed to write Happy Birthday on it, it was already so yummy. Can you belive it's almost all gone already? We love cake here.

Mommy got out some of my old toys this last week too so Liam and I were very excited to play with new things. We even played pretty good together for about 5 minutes without yelling at each other. Having a brother is fun and not fun sometimes, but mostly fun.

Here's our smiley guy-he's got his big birthday coming up this week. I think he knows he's almost done being a baby too with all the walking he's doing and he's trying to have conversations with us now too. Mommy can tell he's understanding some things she asks him and he tries to answer her back too.

Last weekend we got to go see our new cousin baby Reid when we went to visit Grandpa Kevin and Grandma Madonna. Liam was not too sure what to think of baby Reid, but he did touch his hand and head to check him out. What really got him going was when Mommy was holding Reid and Liam saw her, he threw a big tantrum on the floor. I guess he thought his Mommy couldn't hold someone else-what a silly guy!

Look at me! I was so excited to see my new buddy Reid. I sat right down and waited for Uncle Justin to get baby Reid out of his carseat and then held on nice and careful. He has a soft head just like Liam had when he was a new baby. I sat goot like this for about 3 minutes, then had to get back to playing farm so told Mommy "get him off." Luckily baby Reid didn't take it personally. I am planning so many things for Reid to do with me and Liam when he's bigger. We're going to have so much fun!

Look at Reid-what a cutie pie! He sure looks like Aunt Lauren and Uncle Justin! I am so happy they have a new baby for me and Liam to play with and farm with!

Welcome to Our New Cousin Reid Walter Banitt!

Mommy got to go to the hospital yesterday to see Aunt Lauren and Uncle Justin's new baby boy Reid. He was born yesterday and weighs 8lbs 8oz and was 21 inches long. I have been waiting and waiting to see my new cousin and can't wait to play trucks and tractors with him.
Mommy was so excited to see this brand new baby boy and was so happy for Lauren and Justin. She was waiting to make sure everything went well for Lauren and Justin and that little Reid was healthy. They did great and he's a very nice little boy.

Baby Reid was in a hurry to be born yesterday but Lauren and Justin did a good job. They are very proud of their little boy and we are all very happy for their new family.

Mommy told Lauren that being a Mommy is the best thing and that little boys are very amazing and special. She sure know that cause Liam and I are pretty great. I got to talk to Lauren and Justin about their new baby and can't wait to see him this weekend! He's going to have so much fun with Liam and I.

New Stuff.

Mommy and Daddy got us a new patio set for the deck this weekend. So first up, I had to get us each a tall glass of water to enjoy out on our deck, all by myself.

Daddy taught me "cheers" that we do now when we have our drinks-water of course! We had lots of fun eating outside this weekend in the nice weather and enjoying our new patio set. Our friends came for dinner, we had lunch outside, and we played with water balloons-what a fun 4th of July for us!
Mommy wanted you all to see Liam's long hair one more time because...
She trimmed it off! She didn't have the right scissors, but was able to get the long stuff that daddy says made Liam look like he had a mullett. Of course Liam's long mohawk on top is still there, but you can see his ears and neck so he likes it much better!

Look at Mr. Happy! He only has 24 days until he's 1 already! What a big "little" brother I've got.
