Like Father Like Son

Liam is in the cutest phase right now where he basically wants to imitate everything Nic does. Like father like son. If dad uses a tape measure, Liam begs to measure something too. If dad wears sunglasses, Liam has to wear his sunglasses. And most definitely if it is time for dad to mow the lawn, you better believe Liam is out there squeezing himself between Nic's legs to help him push! Not always the most convenient situation but definitely a good learning opportunity. Thanks to Liam's sweet Papa though, he got his very own lawn mower to help. ;) Just when I think I can't possibly see anything cuter I find this ...

Start 'er up!

So pleased with himself. ;)

At Liam's lawn mowing rate, it would have taken him a week to finish mowing our quarter of an acre because he was so obsessed with pushing it two feet and then stopping to fill the tank with more gas. That little lawn mower certainly has enough gas to run for the next century! ;)

I was seriously dying watching him following in his dad's footsteps. Every time Nic reached the end of mowing a strip of grass he would make the sound, "BOOP!", signaling that he was going to turn the lawn mower around and mow the next strip and Liam would giggle and lift his whole lawn mower to change directions. haha

Speaking of those sunglasses I mentioned earlier, I think he might have needed them here ... haha

Thanks Papa for the new lawn mower! Nic was able to finish in half the time and Liam was more entertained than ever!!
