Book-Crazy

It's 12:49 a.m. ...just waiting for Liam to fall back to sleep. He downed the whole bottle, and fell asleep at the end (while drinking). I got a good burp out of him, but he still screamed when I laid him down. After some mattress-bouncing, he settled. But he's "complaining" to his mobile right now. We'll see...

Liam had a good day - no fever at all, and he seemed to be doing better and resting more today. He napped from 8 - 9:30 a.m. and from 11:30 - 2:30 p.m. When he was actually awake today, Liam was really into his books. As soon as I'd finish one and put it to the side, he'd lean over and pick it up to read again.

Whenever we read Violet's House, he gets excited and flaps his arms. The book has different textures, and he just loves the last page - it has a doll with real yarn for hair. He just lights up when we get to that page, and grabs the doll's hair.

He also goes crazy for the book Dogs (thanks, Kate!). There's one picture of a sheep dog, and you can touch his "shaggy" fur - he loves to touch that one. And there's a picture of a Dachsund (sp?) with ears that are "floppy" - he thinks that one is pretty funny, when you flop the ears. My favorite is a page that says, "All dogs poop," and then has a slider so that a dog lifts his leg..."All dogs pee." Ah, bathroom humor.

We spent lots of time making music today, too. Liam is getting really good at pushing the different buttons on his superstar toy...

Ah, it's 12:59 now and Liam's back to sleep. Good Night, Sweet Boy.
