Photos from the week

Photos from this week:
a) trying on his swimmy suit, as we prepare for a visit to a local pool in the near future
b) Shopping for a swim diaper at Target ...


We'll let you know how it goes .. :)

Also a bonus photo for my mom- look at him drinking from the cup you gave him so many months ago! I was excited to show you how he's gotten good at it. I snapped this photo. He then almost immediately spilled what was left in the cup down his front and on his pants and I had to change him. Sigh. Itty bitty steps towards feeding himself.... some might say.. baby steps.

Lots to say...

Not me, ... Liam. :) He has moments each day when he is especially chatty. I know before long his babble will turn into real words, but for now I cant even tell you how much I enjoy the sing song of his babble. Its really fun to listen to and curious to imagine what he thinks he might be saying- if anything. He has all kinds of things to say, so I'm letting him tell you himself... see the video (sorry its grainy )

In other news, We spent a stressful weekend last week looking for a new apartment. We are feeling cramped where we are and are looking for some more space. We are thrilled to say that we found a wonderful apartment and we couldn't be happier about. There is a big side yard and playground across the street. We'll be in a quiet neighborhood, though still living downtown. Hopefully we'll meet friends and other little kids in our new neighborhood. We'll have lots of space so we hope to have lots of visitors! We'll be making the move sometime in April.

Misc. Photos

i'll post something soon. in the meantime...

Classic. Baby. Move.

For Christmas this year Liam got this really beautiful wooden train from his Great Aunt. Being the mean parent I am, I tucked it away for a rainy day surprise. Babies don't know the difference right? In any case, "rainy day"came last week. I was really excited to give it to Liam. In a classic baby move, after I unwrapped it for him, he spent plenty of time exploring the nuances of... the packaging. Not to worry though, by now he has pulled the train apart and has chewed on each piece at length. :)
