Watch me grow

2008 - What a great year!

January - One year ago today, on the 29th of January our lives were forever changed - we saw the first photos of our five week old little boy living in southern Vietnam. We were overjoyed to introduce our son, Liam Hai O'Connor. What a Happy New Year!


April - We received these two photos in early April. What a gift after waiting two months for an update. Liam grew a lot in those two months. He is precious and we are so grateful to see his smile.


May - The last two photos we received before leaving for Liam. He is just precious and we can't wait to hold him.


June - The day we met our sweet little Liam - June 18th! We are so grateful to finally see him - face to face.

July - Liam's first month home in Arkansas as an O'Connor.

August - Sweet baby Liam is growing and now has two teeth.

September - Liam learns to crawl Labor Day weekend. Mobility really suits our little guy - he is very independent.

October - Liam loved playing in the pumpkin patch. The weather was great in October and we got to play outside a lot.

November - Thanksgiving Day - We are thankful for Liam! He started walking on Nov 12th (10 1/2 months) and hasn't slowed down.

December - Christmas Day - Liam gets a Cozy Coupe from Santa. He is a happy boy in his Vietnamese Christmas suit which his big brother Ben wore on his 1st Christmas home.

December 26th - Liam's 1st Birthday - Happy Birthday Baby Boy. What a year we have had watching Liam grow. We love our Liam and are so grateful he is ours!
