Whenever I sit down to blog or answer emails this is what Liam does. Grabs his "computer" and screams "Up, up, UP!!" until I put him on the couch next to me. Then he furiously bangs the keys on his computer while I type. It is too cute.
He does lots of cute things these days. As of tomorrow he is 20 months, and I am having a hard time believing that we are now closer to 2 than 1. So, in random order, here are some fun facts about Liam.
~ His favorite food is a Kashi breakfast bar (preferably strawberry flavored). We eat at least 3 a day. He has one with breakfast, and then sometime around mid morning he runs to the pantry and starts screaming, "Bar, bar, BAR!!" (are you sensing a pattern here?). And then the same thing happens after nap.
~ He is OBSESSED with Thomas the Train. This came out of nowhere several weeks ago. One day he just latched onto Thomas and now it is all we play with. Good thing he has an older brother who managed to collect every Thomas train known to man. There are 3 giant buckets that Liam regularly visits to gather new (to him) trains. My living room floor is covered. And I find them hiding in all sorts of strange places - behind curtains, under the pillows on my bed, in the pantry. And he loves all our Thomas books. When he doesn't have a string of five trains hooked together, he is carrying at least 2 Thomas books that he will stop and "read". By this I mean turn the pages while babbling nonsense to himself and occasionally inserting a "Peep-Peep".
~ He is fabulous at entertaining himself. He will invent games with just about anything. Like the other day, when he decided the high chair made a perfect ride on toy.
Yes, he did hold on like that while I pushed him around the downstairs. He was cackling with glee the whole time.
~ He is mostly a really happy kid. Always ready with a smile and a belly laugh. Unless you see him during the 10% of the time when he is not happy. Then you might want to head for the hills 'cause when that child is pissed...look out! You will see all manner of kicking and screaming and flopping on the ground dramatically while turning red in the face.
~ He wants to do EVERYTHING his brother does. Most of the time this is cute but sometimes it presents a problem. Like, for instance, when you visit the zoo at night and there are tons of people and he wants to walk like his brother. Except he doesn't walk like his brother - he tends to dart off in the other direction when you are least expecting it - so he gets strapped into the stroller against his will and ends up looking like this:
Yes, life with Liam is interesting. But so fun too. And I can see a big difference in things as we approach 2. He is communicating better and understanding better and every day he is growing up a little more.
