Summer Begins!

Liam had a busy Memorial Day weekend. We drove down to southern Virginia to visit my college roommate and her family including her two sons, Marc and Luc. Marc is a year and half older and Liam was very impressed with his cartwheels and acrobatics. Luc is a year and a half younger and Liam seemed interested in his doings, even though they were not nearly as active, as well.

Word!

The next American Idol?

Recently, Liam started singing songs as a way to pass the time. Many times, I will hear him in the back seat practicing his ABC's or while I am making breakfast I will hear Twinkle Star. These videos show only a taste of what we see on a day to day basis. Many times, when he knows a camera is watching, he is not willing to perform.

You need to do a twist!

Meeting Barney

Sometimes meeting your favorite character...

Isn't as fun as you think it would be.

Don't worry Hit Entertainment, he's watching a Barney DVD now and saying "I like Barney"!

Growing up

Besides the lack of hair, Liam is growing by leaps and bounds. He has developed a sense of humor and seems to purposefully try to make us laugh. In the above picture, he thought it would be funny to put all the puzzle pieces in a big circle. He plays the "Hi" game which goes like this:
Liam: "Hi, Mommy"
Mommy: "Hi, Liam"
Liam: "Hi, Grover" (*Smirk)
Mommy: "WHAT? Hi, Elmo"
Liam: "Hi, Ernie"
Mommy: "Hi, Swing"
Liam: "Hi, Slide"
...
We took him to the Children's museum in Baltimore the other day. He is still a little young, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.
