New Tricks


It's 4:10 a.m. and Liam is being lullabied back to sleep...he started babbling and cracking himself up after the bottle; it's so hard to just walk away. Even when I put him in his crib, he just smiled and laughed at me - ugh! If it wasn't such an awful hour, I'd play with him. Ah, well.

So Liam has some new tricks these last few days...

...he grabs his toes. A lot. (hence, the photo above) Even when he's drinking a bottle, he'll reach out one arm, lift his leg, and grab his foot. He'll stay that way for a while. It's like baby yoga or something.

...he can wave hello & goodbye! Liam's friend Addison has been teaching him how to wave at day care, and this weekend he got lots of practice. Mike & Amy came over with Evan (he's just a few weeks younger than Liam) on Saturday, and then Paka, Grandma Kriss, Aunt Aly & Uncle Brad came over on Sunday.

...he can clap (almost). When Liam gets excited, he tries to clap - but there's no sound. And sometimes he misses. We're getting there!

...yogurt and oatmeal (but not together) have been added to the menu options. Liam is such a good eater - he just devours whatever we give him.

Every day, there's something new in the world of Liam. But right now, our world should be sleeping!

Good night, sweet boy.
