A Day in the Life of Liam Cross

I read a blog post today from Kelly Moore and it challenged me to take more photographs of my children on a day-to-day basis. So today I got my "big" camera out and photographed Liam doing his thing.Sadly, this kid doesn't have as many pictures of him as he is the second child. Benson has tons from this age. (first child probs) So today I am fixing that problem and capturing the little moments of Liam's life. He keeps me on my toes. He is such a busy body. I mean, he IS four years old. He is seriously like the energizer bunny from the moment he wakes up, to the moment he falls asleep. We have to tell him about five times to "go back to bed", "quit getting out of bed", "if you get up one more time..." haha I love this kid. And then I grabbed a couple of Benson when he came home from school while he was being so studious and doing his homework :)

And yes, this is all from today.

Texas Pool Party

A few weeks ago, we swam at my parents house to cool off from the hot summer day, and the boys were showing off their jumping skills. Check 'em out :)

Muscles, Batman, Jumping on the Bed Lifestyle Shoot

Trying to capture the fun spirit in this kid. I love his wild, and crazy little self.

My Boys As Of Late

I am doing headshots today, and I used my boys to test the light. Benson is 5 yrs old

Liam is 18 months old

My baby isn't a baby anymore

Liam is 13 months old. I can't stop salivating over his juicy legs, almond-eyed grins, and rosy-red cheeks.It's true too. Ya know what people say-that time flies when you are having fun.

My Littlest Valentine

Time travels fast when you are having fun. It is hard to believe our little baby is one already. Liam is a cuddle bug, he adores his brother, and wants anything and everything you have. If he doesn't get it, he will make sure to let you know he's upset with a high pitched squeel. He talks non-stop and already has a great vocabulary saying, "momma, momma, momma, momma, dadda, bubba, and tank oo. Oh, and did I mention he says momma... a lot. Its the cutest thing, too. When Benson was a baby his first word was dadda, and it took forever for him to say momma. That is not the same for Liam. His first word was dadda too, but he said momma a few days later, and hasn't stopped. Liam loves: playing with paper plates and plastic water bottles apple slices puffs cheerios pizza army crawling gabbing giving hugs

Liam.8 months old

His name is Liam, but you could also call him Mr. Smiley. That is what this kid does, 95% of the time.So blessed by my sweet little boys.

Liam is 5 months old!

William, Liam, Lele, Wewe (the way Benson says it), love bug, sweet baby, Leaping Liam...these are just a few of his names he has gained in the last 5 months.He can sit up by himself for a few seconds, and then falls over, then spits up a little, because his tummy gets squished. He has been rolling over with little assistance and today my friends he did it ALL BY HIMSELF!!!! We were screaming with excitement. Squealing and gurggling are the ways he "talks" with us, and he carries a continuous smile. Liam loves to grab Benson's hair. It's sort of a game they play together. Cuddling, jumping in his bouncy, and crossing his legs while laying down are the many activities he does on a daily basis. He is LOVED like crazy by his brother, mommy and daddy. We just can't get enough of his sweet little face!

My boys...

...and Liam's 4 month old baby session.He loves to: touch his toes squeal as loud as possible grab Benson's hair be held pound his own belly like a drum-tum jump in his bouncy eat cereal
