Liam Lately

Liam with Grandpa Rick


Liam is a cutie and he's growing up so fast. He does so much now.

As far as development
-He's a pro going up and down stairs
-He says (has for a few months now) Hi, bye, mama, dada and iah (mariah) and today he said pahpah (grandpa)
-He uses a lot of gestures to communicate, mostly pointing and shaking his head to say no
-He cruises along furniture and stands for a few seconds alone.

And some little quirky things:

He loves his binky. He has "binky music" he sings whenever he's got it in his mouth. It sounds like haglaglaglaglag and it's way cute.

He'll only drink a baba sitting straight up or standing with his head leaning way back and he refuses to hold it. The whole picture reminds me of a calf drinking a bottle. It's funny.

He is SO Cody's son. He loves the outdoors, electronics and tools. If he sees a path to any of these he is on it so fast.

He loves to climb inside the dishwasher. i don't know.

He loves to head butt everything with a face especially if it's behind glass (cat outside, reflection in mirror) or clear plastic (see video).
We like to challenge him to headbutt fights. We get down on all fours, slam our fists down and say "Liam!" He'll charge (crawling of course) from across the room and ram right into us.
And if you ask him for a kiss, he'll smile and head butt you soflty.



And here's a very short headbutting video

Oh my goodness, it's been too long. He wasn't even sitting up last I saw him.
