Big month for Liam!!





WOW! August proved to be a big month for Liam, as you can see from the pics above! He is sporting his birthday stickers on his helmet and showing off his new cup-holding skills. Yes, indeed, we are WEANING him from the TUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a slow process, and right now we can only feed him either formula thickened with rice cereal from an open cup or baby food (which he's been able to eat for the past six months). However, we are so happy to see him drink from a cup!!

He turned one on August 9, and we discovered he does not like icing or cake, especially when it is on his face. Made for a rather boring first birthday party, but it was such a joy to see him turn one that we really didn't care about the cake-on-the-face thing.

Chris Rice, a favorite Christian recording artist, sings a song called "Life Means So Much." It's one of Lisa's favorites:

"Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much"

May we always make Liam's days count!

In Christ,
Bill and Lisa

God has a strange knack for plucking our heart strings. Ever think a kid drinking from a cup would do it for you. You are in our daily prayers. May Liam keep on amazing you with his progress and life.
