All About Liam

Liam's little personality develops more each day.

• He's stubborn and doesn't like to be told no (really, who likes being told no?)
• He wants to try to go down the stairs forward like Karsten does.  He sits on his bottom and scoots down the stairs, but I caught him reaching for the railing like he was going to hold onto it to come downstairs.  
• Lately, he doesn't like to have his coat put on.  He'll throw himself backwards and try to avoid putting it on.  Once its on, he's happy again.  
• He's starting to want a little blanket I made him when he goes to bed at night.  I won't lie - that makes me happy. 
• He's starting to enjoy books more and has definite opinions about which books he wants to read at bedtime.  
• He has a sweet tooth.  When we're in the kitchen near where we keep snacks, he'll come running (literally), grab our legs and start saying 'DA', 'DA' and whining/crying.  He's usually placated when we left him up and show him that we don't have any food.  
• He's a good eater and will try most anything.  
• He wants to do whatever Karsten is doing.  If Karsten gets a dumptruck and runs around the house, Liam is right behind him.   
• He has learned that sheep say 'baaa' and has his own version of 'baaa' when we read the animal book at bedtime. 
• He loves music. He will be standing still and if music is played, he'll sway from side to side or start bopping up and down.  He gets a big smile on his face as well - it's pretty cute.  
• He's learning to use a fork and spoon.  He's mastering the fork, but Madison often eats more food from his spoon than he does since it flies off on the way to his mouth.  
• We think he can say 'thanks'.  It sounds more like 'tssss' but he says it at the appropriate time.  :)
