liam seems to be popping out a new word every day for the last few days. yesterday was "alright?" after he fell down and today he told liffey "GO." he also repeated big bird and moon yesterday.
on saturday we went to a dog event, and the first think liam said when we stopped the car was "flyball?" he got to see some of his flyball friends though, so that is always fun. i got out his sidewalk chalk, and he seems to like drawing with that. he is not as gifted at drawing as he is at talking just yet, but he'll get there. :)

another busy weekend
friday night, liam got to go to his 2nd balloon glow. he met us with his friends, aunt, uncle and cousins and had a good time. he saw fireworks for the first time. he spent most of his evening, however, pointing at the medical helicopters flying overhead.
on saturday, he went apple picking. he was rather unimpressed with it all, but he liked eating apples - but only his grandma's apple. he had fun playing with his cousins again.
on sunday, he helped paint his flyball friends' house (he helped by NOT helping.)
and today, he had that 10% reaction to the measles shot - looking like he's covered in measles. that's MY kid alright. :)

new things every day
this week, liam moved his dad's kitchen chair and climbed up in it so that he could look out the bay window in the dining room. he said "right now" for the first time. he climbed into the bathtub, all by himself, fully clothed. he says moo and baaa. today, for the first time, he said MOO when someone asked him what a cow says. he figured out how to buckle his high chair buckle.
his parents as teachers lady told him that he was ahead in both motor and language skills (he's a genious!) he went to the pediatrician the next day and has jumped back up to the 50%ile for ht (31 inches) but even with a wet diaper is not quite 22 lbs and is down to 10%ile for wt. that explains why his pants won't stay up! the dr. said that "that sometimes happen when they become more active and burn more calories." uh, liam, active? noooooo. (can you hear the sarcasm??
and tammy - he DOES try to stick his finger up my nose too. :) the dr's i work with think he might have a future as an ENT!
oh, and liam had a close up on the jumbotron at the NFL game on sunday afternoon! he's famous.

world traveller!
ok, covering a few states traveller, but still, it's been busy here!
we took our first family vacation over my birthday 2 weeks ago. everyone went, including liffey and lincoln. we took the camper and just had a relaxing time - shopping, swimming, reading, fishing (well, liam and his dad did that) and going for walks.
we came home for 4 days then left again for a flyball tournament. we had a great time with our friends, at a fun tournament with fabulous weather. liam wore his new team shirts and really likes to watch flyball.
he has also learned to sign help and yummy (which he started tonight.) he loves to "talk" about flyball. he practiced saying all sorts of things this weekend. however, his favorite new activity is sticking his finger up his nose.

more and more new things!
oh, so many new talents. we have been working with liam on sign language. his favorite sign is "more" because he gets more food. next is "milk" because when he's thirsty, he wants his milk! "eat" is good because he says that when he feeds his food to his dogs and they get to eat. yesterday he signed "water" for the first time too. he is exceptionally brilliant, if i do say so myself.
he is also very verbal, talking up a storm all the time. his new favorite word to say is flyball, which he got to say a lot this past weekend at the tournament. he behaved himself very well, saying hi to lots of different friends while we were busy running the tournament. he is OBSESSED with flyball boxes - i think he wants to be a boxloader like his dad and his friend jeff.
he is still a dancing fool, along with a kissing fool, considering he kissed his little girlfriend at the sitter's today!
i will see what i can do about getting a picture uploaded soon.

trip to the zoo!
even though bill and i apparently ate some bad food at the zoo, we had fun while we were there on sunday. it was liam's first trip there, and we think he really enjoyed it. of course, we also think that he thought - look, a dog with a long neck; look, a dog with a long nose; look, a dog with long legs; look, a dog that can swim. :)
he did a lot of pointing to the animals and "talking" about them. we'll definitely have to go back again soon and try to make it into the children's zoo next time.
liam has turned into a dancing and kissing fool too! he loves to give kisses - even sometimes his idea! and he dances all the time - sometimes without music. but pretty much every time he hears music, he wants to dance. we'll work on the lack of rhythm later. :)
