Misc. Update (May 2010)

Do all kids make this little badger face? (Courtney- we know Charlie did. Here's Liam's version)



I dont have the energy to write prose about what we've been up to- though I'll try for a better update soon. In the meantime, an the Liam update goes as follows:

Loves: Water (pool, tub, etc), saying "hot", his grandparents, opening & closing doors of all kinds
Hates: Being changed, bedtime, being told what to do, cutting teeth
Reading: ~the first 3 pages of every book, the things you can think (dr. suess), really anything he can get his hands on
Listening to: selectively whomever he wants

The Reason.....

why we have to make sure to close our bathroom doors!

13 months

I honestly do not know where the time goes anymore. We were just celebrating Liam's first birthday and now he's already 13 months.
The readers digest version of what we're up to (I'll use bullet points, i am good at that from work :))

• Today Liam had his first swim class at the YMCA. He went with Lizzy and it was, by all accounts, a smashing success. Lizzy said Liam enjoyed the pool, just as soon as he got used to the idea that there were other kids in it. They played games and Liam took to it like a... fish?
  
• New skills: sucking through a straw, scratching, pinching, biting, clearly understands mom and dad, occasionally obeys, trying new sounds, dancing (bouncing and shaking his head - I'll try to get a video), loves Popsicles and independently holds his own (these make your own juice pops are proving helpful as we cut 3 teeth at once... again.)
  

Hmm... only two bullets. Maybe I'm not as good at bullet pointed lists as I thought. :)
