Liam enjoys a bubble bath by putting the bubbles all over his head
Liam comes to the rescue of his friend before she is cooked by the witch. One of a few such scenes at a local farm where we got a pumpkin and some expensive apples.
About a week ago, Liam started putting words together in two-word phrases. The phrases take the form "no kitty" or "bye-bye daddy." The leading word in these phrases is called a pivot word - it can be used in many contexts preceded or followed by an open word (e.g. bye-bye daddy, bye-bye mommy, bye-bye kitty). These short phrases are referred to as "telegraphic" speech because they resemble the short-cut wording of a telegram.
He's really interested in letters now and will point out an M, O, etc. in random words that we see. He identifies yellow (la-lellow) and blue. At first, I thought he might be red-green color blind, but he can point to the right color when asked, he just doesn't seem to be able to say those colors.
Sitting in a stroller can be a real drag, so Liam has taken to walking along with us while we push an empty stoller (which is just a bit slower). Here he is preparing to walk the dog:
Mommy was recruited to add the video, so while I was here, I thought I would also share this picture, which shows what a difference a year can make. You can see from last year at the farm, he was not only smaller, but he didn't get the "put your head in a circle" thing. This year, he even smiled for the camera.
Number of signs, words and phrases Liam can express over time (months old).
Oh my goodness. I knew you guys were self-proclaimed nerds, but a line graph? Love it. We'll see how well you can keep track of babies 2, 3, 4...what? You're not having 4 kids? I was hoping you would be the next Duggards.
ReplyDeleteWhat no line graph comparing the cost farm apples to store apples?
ReplyDeleteLiam just keeps getting cuter, but tell him that Aunt Ria needs him to work on that "r" sound.
