Liam is 17 months old today

It's funny how distinct people's personalities are, even as kids. At this age, Thea was just as adorable, but she was wary around people she didn't know well, a trait I completely relate to. Liam, however, is very friendly and free with his affection. He smiles easily and laughs a lot. He's just this sweet, jovial, good-natured kid. I wonder if they'll keep those basic personalities, even as they grow.

Some other things about our sunny 17-month-old son:

Liam has the biggest smile.


Liam has the bluest eyes ever. (Ignore the runny nose. I try to. *shudder*)


Liam is very physical. He loves to throw balls for Tina.




And he's fearless. He's learning how to swing, insistently by himself.



I do wish he had a smidgen more fear in him, though. At the Nalezyty's the other night, he crawled up on the couch and launched himself off the edge several times before Todd put pillows down on the floor, a small measure against the broken bones and concussions inevitably in store for us.
