Look what still fits, Oma

Play time with Liam

I have been a little slow getting videos off the camera and into iMovie. Here is a clip with some of Liam's play time from 10 October to 20 November. In the first part he is playing with his birthday present from the Boston Bunns. Tobias taught him 'auf' and 'zu' (open and close in German) with this toy. We now play 'auf und zu' with everything!

The next section shows our little monkey. We got new gates for the house and this is how Liam reacted once Tobias put one of the gates together. Notice that Tobias is spotting him, not helping him.

Liam has discovered his tongue in the last couple of days. He loves to play a game that Poppa taught him where they stick out their tongues and make noise.

Enjoy!!

In to EVERYTHING

Liam is definitely at the phase where he can get into everything!! In the last week or so he has gone from trying to get cabinets open to opening them all and pulling out the contents. He kept me on my toes today!!

Corner doors are no issue anymore!

Ooh, wonder if I can pull everything out?! (The answer is 'yes!')

The morning started with him mainlining cinnamon sugar. He loves playing in the spice drawer. I have given up on keeping him out until we get the magnet locks installed. I saw him playing in there today but failed to think about what teeth would do the plastic bag on which he was chewing. I have no idea how much cinnamon sugar he ate before I realized what was going on.

Oh boy! SUGAR!!!

Hey, look! It falls out onto the floor when I bite a hole in the bag!!

Cinnamon sugar stubble!!

I remember Rob and Ginger saying we didn't need to guess what to child proof because Liam would show us. I did lots of moving things around today because at various other times today I found him eating sidewalk chalk and chewing on the stove top cleaner!!! (Mom of the Year, I know.) Those magnet locks needs to get here already!!

If that weren't enough, Nanna told us that Liam figured out how to climb out the Pack-n-Play yesterday. Let the good times roll!!

Some days mom drives me to drink . . .

Finger food

Liam is getting to the point it is difficult to get him to eat anything that he can't hold and feed himself. While we know this is a good sign, right now it is frustrating because he doesn't always like the texture of foods that he would normally eat when they are pureed. Breads are fine as are pancakes, muffins, crackers, cookies, etc. Meats, veges, pasta, and rice are not foods he likes to eat with his hands. His top two eye teeth came in last week so he now has 6 teeth ready to help him eat. He just needs to get used to the texture change!
