A Cold Day Outside

Today was a pretty cold day but we got Liam outside for a little while nonetheless after we got him all bundled up. On the plus side, he didn't seem to mind the cold. And then there is the priceless picture of Liam making a mess of his meal...

Forgot Something

Liam now points to the closest light source when asked: "where is the light?" He gets it almost 100% of the time when it's done in Hebrew, and about 80% of the time when done in English. Just wanted to share the proud moment.

Grandpa's Gabi's Visit

Grandpa Gabi came to visit us this past Friday and stayed till earlier this evening. He was amazed to see all the changes since his last visit with Liam. He had lots of fun taking him outside and letting him run around. He enjoyed giving him his meals, in spite of Liam rubbing food all over him. He took lots of pictures and videos (and of course he forgot his camera cord so we don't have any of his pictures or videos to share). Thanks to him spending a lot of time with Liam Scott was able to put a dent into cleaning up his office (we're trying to combine offices so that we can make Liam a little play room as it seems that before long he will be able to climb out of his play yard). And I got to catch up on some sleep that I seriously lacked due to Scott being away last week and Liam refusing to sleep. So that was our weekend. Here are some pictures of Liam with Grandpa.

I Love Football So Much

I just wanted to share with everyone my love for Football. I like to watch it up close and personal...

Just Some Random Stuff

Wow, I survived this past week. Scott was away in LA, and as usual when Scott is away, Liam decides to forgo sleep. So we (Liam & myself) got about 2 hours of sleep each night. He seemed to be fine with that. I on the other hand, almost collapsed when evening fell last night. Finally, at midnight daddy came home and let me sleep this morning after I nursed the little bugger. I still need a lot more sleep to balance myself out. I tell ya, it is nearly impossible to function on such little sleep and take care of a baby all by myself for an entire week. But thank god it's over now (until next time). In the meantime we just want to share all the wonderful little milestones: a few weeks ago Liam figured out all by himself how to stack the rings back on the ring stacker and I forgot to write all about it. I left him in the pack n' play to take a shower and when I got back he was stacking away. And he was very pleased with himself. He has also been greatly improving his skill of placing shapes into the appropriate holes in his shape sorters. He doesn't always get them right, but he is improving with every day that passes. He has also been saying the Hebrew word for water (Mayim) and even uses it appropriately. And he says a lot of Abba (daddy) and Imma (mommy). Oh, and he also now likes to pick up toys (usually the larger toys) with both hands and travel with them. He likes to carry them around the house and gets very upset when we try to get him to let go.

We also just went to Target to pick out a couple of birthday presents for him as his 1 year birthday is next week.

That's it for now (I think)

I'm Naked (Again) and On the Go

Today we're having an uncharacteristically warm November day. Last we heard it was Fall but Fall doesn't seem to agree. So after playing outside for a bit and getting all sweaty and stuff Liam wanted to run around naked. So I let him.

I Like to Run Around Naked and Pee Standing Up

On Thursday, right before Liam's bath, we gave him the opportunity to run around naked for a bit. And he enjoyed himself so much that he decided he would show his appreciation by peeing on the carpet.

No Bib For Me!!!

Liam is no longer willing to wear his bib while being fed. Now when I say no longer willing, it's not like he's just fussing and I let him have his way. Only after so many times of him pulling off his bib do I give up. So as a result of the bib being pulled off so many times, the Liam shirt got so wet and stained that it was time to take it off as well. And during the time it took me to go get Liam another shirt, he enjoyed running around half naked, showing his stuff... it's just a shame his girlfriend Anna wasn't here to see it.

Got to Have My Coffee...

Liam is his father's son. He can't go anywhere without his coffee... well, hopefully y'all know that we don't give our precious child coffee, but he does like the to-go cups A LOT!!!

I'm Going to Get Into Trouble

Liam spent some lovely time on a lovely Fall day outside today. And he just kept having that "I'm looking for trouble" look on his face that we managed to capture on camera. Well, he did get into trouble. He managed to put a little rock in his mouth and we almost didn't get it out in time. But we got it out and managed to avoid a scary trip to the ER. Alas, might as well get used to it as he is a boy and boys will be boys ...
