Liam is a whopping 11 months today. It's funny how the first half of the year flies, but then it slows down a bit. He has a bit of a cold and is cutting another tooth, so he is pretty cranky. He has finally learned how to stand and push the little alligator walker, I will have to get the video up at some point. He is not very adept at it. He leans way forward and drags his leg behind one by one. It's pretty funny. He is going to be a late walker. Even now he only tries to stand without holding on a couple times a day. Caleb walked (as defined by making it across the room, not wimpy little steps) the day after his first birthday. He was my latest walker so far. We will see how Liam stacks up.
Liam knows some words "momma, da-da, ba (for bottle), star, cat, SSSS(for sissie)". At least those are what he attempts to say. He understand much more, of course.
He likes to open and close his hands and say "sth-tar" when we sing twinkle, twinkle, although sometimes I think he confuses the meaning of star with mobile and windchime (basically anything we hang up) because both his mobiles hanging from the ceiling have stars on them. But he looks at the windchime outside and says "Star" too. I guess he'll figure it out by college.
Liam sleeps much better at night now. He wakes up 0-2 times, usually after three. But I sort of like night feedings (as long as he goes back to sleep). His naps are still hit or miss. He will nap in the car, but has trouble settling down at home. He is taking a nap now, however.
Liam LOVES toy cars and likes to roll a ball back and forth with someone. He likes knocking blocks down and banging them together.
His eyes are still blue, cheeks still pink, hair still strawberry blonde. I would say red, but I saw a red-headed baby once, and there was a definite difference.
So that's where we stand now.
Fascinating, huh?
