Liam Doty - ONE Cute Little Man!

Once upon a time, one year ago, a handsome little man was brought into this world by two loving parents.  Liam Robert Doty was a very fortunate little boy, surrounded by love.  Shortly after he was born, he decided he would show his parents that parenting isn’t easy.  A lot of fear, a lot of hope, and a lot of prayers… Many tears, many more smiles, and a few days later, Liam, Devin, and Beau were all able to go home together.  

I remember the day that Liam was born.  I remember seeing pictures of him and thinking that he looked just like his daddy.  We all, as parents, experience that feeling of our children growing up too last.  I honestly feel like Liam was just born, and I have a feeling his mom and dad feel the exact same way.  

From basketball games to dinners to just hanging out, my family and I get to see Liam quite a bit.  There are many words that can be used to describe his personality.  When he was younger he was laid back and calm.  Around the 6-month mark Liam started to show his true personality.  He would smile at strangers, snuggle into his mom’s cheek, and get excited at the sound of music.  

At 9 months Liam started to be a ball of fire.  Around 9 months he was able to stand, and at 10 months (give or take a few days) he was able to walk.  He is the epitome of a boy.  He is rough and tough and rowdy.  

Now, at one-year-old, he is absolutely hilarious.  As you can see from some of these pictures he turns on the charm, turns on the tears, and turns on the cuteness all at the drop of a hat.

Who would have thought that Liam, who loves his food, would HATE…DESPISE….LOATHE….birthday cake.  A look at the next few pictures will tell you just how he felt about cake!  His mom has a very short time until his actual birthday to make him like it!  

I want to wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mr. Liam Doty!  I can’t wait to see him grow up.  Something tells me his mom and dad won’t have much time to sit still for many years to come!  

Until next time…
