Liam is mail backwards...

I can hardly believe how big Liam is getting...he's looking more and more like a little boy! He's trying so hard to talk...always making idle chit chat (baby babble) with us and his stuffed animals. :) Last night we were in Target and he was staring intently at his little lion toy hanging on his carseat and clearly said "Hi". It wasn't the first time he said it, but it was the first time someone else besides Kevin heard it! I cracked up laughing when a lady stocking the shelves in the same aisle turned to him and replied "Hello!" Kevin always shrugs it off as him just making noise, but I was happy to know someone else agreed with me.

I mentioned the story to my Grandmother (a.k.a. Granny) last night, and she chuckled...it reminded her of me as a little girl. Supposedly I was a very friendly child...one day, we were waiting at the naval base for my Dad's ship and I turned to some strange man and said "Hi my name is Ruth, what's yours?" Sounds like me, huh! Always making friends...perhaps Liam will be the same?

I swear Liam gets cuter and cuter every day! He's such a good baby...Kevin says "we won the lottery with this kid". I suppose he's a product of his environment, we try and keep a relaxed and happy home. We're like big kids ourselves!

It's amazing how fast the past four and half months have gone, every day is full of wonder with Liam around. This weekend was no exception...he kept us entertained for hours with his non-stop activity. Liam hasn't mastered the art of rolling over, but he sure is working his way around the livingroom floor...scooting on his back by pushing off with his feet. We glanced away for a few minutes (watching tv) and before we knew it Liam had migrated from his playmat/blanket to the wood floor and had his arms around the swifer sweeper that had been laying on the floor. I guess he was curious about the contraption Mommy was using to clean house? :) Before we know it, he'll be crawling and walking his way into trouble!

Liam and I had a few errands to run in Sunday afternoon, one of them being a stop at the local children's consignment shop. I wasn't having much luck returning an un-opened highchair at Target, so I decided to see what I could get for it at Kid Stuff for Less. While we were waiting for the manager, I was having fun with Liam and torturing him by trying on some baby sunglasses...he was such a sport about it. After taking a few snapshots of him with the silly shades, I quickly shot this one of him gazing up at me with this look like "what's next Mommy?!"
