Great few weeks!

Liam has had an amazing few weeks! He walked for the first time a few days ago taking for a five steps independently. He is also using his hands to sign more often. He can sign for diaper, upstairs, light on, cracker, eat, more, Dog, milk, all done... I think that's all. I am now teaching him how to sign music and outside.
He also is using some words. He loves to say Dadaaaa. He also says dog but dog sounds more like ga. He can say "outside" and "light on" but it's kind of hard to understand unless you're with him all the time like we are. According to my mother, he has really good receptive language. He understands what were saying more often and lets us know that he understands by smiling or nodding or signing more".

The answer is No

I there anything better than little hands grabbing your face and pulling it in for a baby bit kiss? No!! It is bliss :)

Talking!

Liam has had a pretty amazing two weeks in a cognitive sense. He is using more words. He is saying "dog" and "all done" and "uh oh" quite often.

Liam is One!

Liam had a great birthday! Jill and I went to Hanover to get some chairs and while there we got lunch at Olive Garden. The manager went Liam a cake!

Strep

Baby has strep! I'm so sick and he's been coughing lately. He also hasn't been sleeping through the night, poor been. So I took him in and yup-- positive strep test! We were prescribed Ceftinir.

Waving

Liam has been waving for a couple weeks now. Usually bye bye AFTER we or someone leaves. But he's getting the hang of it lately. Evidence: he waves to me while he nurses. Adorable!

Clap'

Liam was nursing and just unlatched, clapped a few times, and kept nursing! Glad he enjoys it so much!!

He is getting a new tooth, top right. That'll be his sixth!

Snotter

Bananas!

Liam had his first teeny bits of banana today!

Puffs

We started feeding Liam puffs about two weeks ago. He can feed himself somewhat successfully :)

New carseat

We switched Liam to his convertible carseat this week. He loves it! So much space!

Crib stander!!

Love

I love when nursing sessions and in giggle Fests with my little man. :-)

New

Liam can push himself up to sitting on his own!

Pull up

Look who's pulling himself up on things!
