Look Who's Talking Now...

One of the greatest things I enjoy right now about Liam is how quickly he is picking up words:

Last week, Liam and I were playing outside and we heard the geese coming back for spring. When Liam heard the honking, he exclaimed, "Beepers!" Uber-cute.

Liam has a few words that he pronounces the same way, so you have to be listening carefully to the context of the word, or else you could be in trouble. For instance, Liam pronounces pizza and penis the same way...sadly, Nialle and I giggle immaturely every time Liam tells us we are having "penis" for supper.

Just this week, Liam used two new sentences. One morning I was engrossed in knitting the start of the thumb of a mitten (hey, they're pretty tricky to do) when Liam started having trouble with his train set. He was fussing and I was telling him I'd be there to help in just a minute. Just a minute apparently wasn't good enough for Liam because he marched right up to me and shouted, "I WANT HELP!!" This was Liam's first sentence he formed all on his very own! I was pretty proud, even if he did have a stinky attitude. After crying at bedtime for what seemed like forever, Liam told me, "I want my bottle." (Anyone else notice that when I am an bad mommy and ignore my son's pleas for help and make him cry himself to sleep, that that's when he uses sentences? Fabulous.)

Here's a cute video of Liam showing me where the different parts of his body are. (I swear that when the camera is off he can do this perfectly...)

I think he did this perfectly! It's funny to watch him wiggle and move all over the place while filming him. They just can't sit still at this age! He sure is cute,though! I look forward to seeing him today.
