Bad Mama!


Yeah, I'm a little tardy with Liam's blog, but what can I say, we've been busy!

A quick run-down of what's new with the little man:

  • today he just started his version of the army crawl. It involves sticking his butt in the air, getting his toes underneath and pushing off. Totally inefficient, totally slow, and totally adorable! Seriously, I'm so proud of him.
  • loves kissing himself in the mirror. We get kisses too, but oh my if he sees himself he gets all smiley and smoochy. Love it.
  • standing while holding on to something is another new favourite pastime. His legs are getting really strong and he tries to cruise but it's not quite working yet (legs move, arms don't, or arms move, legs don't)
  • he loves walking with me holding onto just his hands. The week before he would only move if we held him by his armpits, but now he's confident enough to move with just a little help
  • getting me to bite his toys. He just did this today, with his spoon at lunchtime (he won't eat unless he has his own spoon). He kept trying to get it into my mouth, and thought this was just hilarious. Later I saw him shoving one of his toys into the cat's face
  • waving bye-bye. It's still hit or miss, but he does it occasionally, usually when saying bye -bye to his kitty collage on his wall
  • bath time = good times. He is all about the bath, as soon as he hears the water running he freaks out. He rubber ducky is also his favourite friend right now
  • He says di-di-di when he sees something he really wants. I wonder what word that will eventually turn into
  • He says du-du-du when he sees his rubber duck
  • I've gotten a "cuh" sound out of him a few times when he sees his kitty collage
  • His Opa taught him to hit the table when someone says "bang bang bang!". Seriously, and through Skype without video on our end. The kid is brilliant.
And he still is the happiest, sweetest little boy in the world. I'm sure I'm forgetting loads, but I promise I will update more frequently!!
