What Liam's Up To

Seems that I haven't been taking a ton of pictures the past couple of weeks.  Perhaps part of me realizes that I was behind on blogging and by taking more pictures, I would get even more behind.  No more of that - I'm getting caught up and plan to keep sharing more of our everyday pictures with you.  

• Liam has been into going up and down the stairs for a while, but recently he wants to go down the stairs facing forward on his bottom.  Talk about scary - I keep waiting for him to tip forward and go tumbling down the stairs.  
• With all the ick going around, we're being really cognizant of hand washing whenever we get home.  As soon as we get home and take our coats off, Liam is headed for the bathroom to wash hands before we can even say it.  
• We're officially done with bottles, even at bedtime.  A few weeks ago, I went to dinner with a friend and Scott put Liam to bed without a bottle.  Turns out he was ready - I was the one that wasn't ready.  
• He's a awesome eater and will eat almost anything you put in front of him.  Sometimes we wonder if we're feeding him too much, but the doctor said he's healthy and that's what matters!  
• He will bring his shoes to us and set them on top of his foot, then look at us like 'why isn't this working?'
• When he pulls legos apart he grunts like it's really hard work - it's hilarious!  
• He's enamored with Madison.  He'll bend over and look at her, then scrunch his face up and smile and look at us.  I think they have some sort of agreement - he also sneaks her food from the dinner table.  
• In the mornings, he'll sit on his desk in the kitchen and drink from his sippy cup and eat a few craisens (aka dog cherries).  While he's calmly munching away, I negotiate with Karsten to put his shoes on and rush around making my lunch.  
• He loves music - it can stop him in his tracks and he'll stop to listen, then he'll bob his little legs while he listens.  
• We just started to put a plate on his tray rather than putting several bits of food on his tray at the same time.  So far so good - no plates have hit the floor.  He has also transitioned to straw sippy cups.  Next up, hopefully we'll master silverware.
