Liam at 11 months

Liam took his first steps when he was 10 1/2 months old! Do you think we could get him to take another step since?? Forget it! This kid prefers to walk with his push car.

Liam is a goofy, fun-loving little man. He plays peekaboo by standing around the corner and popping his head out at you (at which point you're supposed to act very surprised). Liam also plays peekaboo like this ...


...we're still working on getting him to cover both eyes.

He also crawls around the house and "growls" at me like a lion (so I act very scared and run away from him). He loves it!

Nialle does the craziest things with Liam. He throws him around in the air upside down and does the general rough-housing that most fathers seem to do with their kids. I try not to imagine Liam falling and cracking his head open when Nialle plays with him...


Liam now says "Mama" for me and "Dada" for Nialle. It's the cutest thing!

Liam still looks forward to bathtime everyday. Sometimes he'll crawl into the bathroom and stand at the tub and make motions and noises to tell me he wants to get in.



As for Liam's health, he is doing much better! We found out last Friday that he has viral pneumonia, so he's been resting a lot and taking it easy. For a while he was taking 3 naps a day, but he's back down to 2 naps, so I think he's feeling like his old self.
