Bubbles or Cake? Bubbles of Course!!

Mmmmm bubbles! Maybe I am kind of silly but I have tested cake and I have tested bubbles, and I have to say I really prefer bubbles. I suppose this may need some explanation...... Lets start with some fun updates.

I am officially a walker now. I spend more time on my two feet than on my knees!!! I even walked outside the other day for the first time. I still fall and crawl sometimes, but it is so great to be cruising along standing up!! The things I have access to now, it is a whole new world!

I have been talking a lot more and eating more and more grown up food. I even boycott the jar food because I want what Mom and Dad are eating. I love tofu, oranges, corn, and yogurt. I have also been trying to play with Darwin with out biting him. He is so fun. I really like to pull his tail. I wonder what he would like better? My biting or tail pulling?

I am fast approaching my first birthday, how exciting is that?????? So hard to believe I have been blogging for a whole year!!! Thanks to all of you for keeping up with my growing, changing, and turning into a little man!!! It has truly been an amazing year.

Busy busy busy me

Phew! It is finally calming down a bit at my house..... Christmas is over, the new year is here, and NFL playoffs are well under way. Mom goes back to school today and starts her work with Planned Parenthood on Tuesday. Uncle Greg has been in his new house for about 2 weeks and Dad is working on the house. All the Christmas stuff is put away, so the house is Liam proof again. Everything is getting back to normal.


I am walking a lot more and with out being bribed!! I think I am really starting to get the hang of it. Of course, I am still wobbely but much better than before. I can step sideways and forward, bend at my waist, and stand up from a sit. Pretty cool stuff! I am WAY fast when I hold onto furniture.

My other favorite new activity is to test Mom and Dad. There are certain cupboards and drawers that I know I am not supposed to get into and when I do, they tell me no. My response has been to look at them, smile very very big and go ahead with whatever it was I was doing before. So far this hasn't been working as well as I would like, hence the use of the tantrum. Dad calls it my washing machine dance. I fling my arms up in the air and flail wildly!!!!

We went on a super long bike ride this weekend. We went all the way to REI and then back home. I slept most of the way. I am really starting to like my helmet. Devaki is coming over to watch me on Thursday and she is going to take me on a ride too!! So fun! Because Mom is going to be working Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, Devaki is going to start coming over every Thursday and play with me. I can not wait!!! If anyone is interested in Tuesday afternoons, please let Mom know.

Here is a picture of me at bath time, quite possibly my favorite time of day (besides morning when I play in bed with Mom and Dad). I keep hearing how skinny I am getting... I think it is because I am so busy with my crawling, climbing, and walking. I love keeping my parents busy chasing me all over!!

I am eating pretty much everything that big people eat now. Last night we went to dinner at Uncle Greg's and I had spaghetti with garlic bread, mmm mmm!! I still think yogurt is my favorite food but I am pretty good about trying everything. I had a grilled cheese sandwhich for the first time this weekend and I can not wait to try milk. That happens after my 1st birthday, which is less than a month away!!! Unbelievable!! Me, a whole year old.... how cool is that?

My First Christmas!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!! My goodness it has been a very busy couple of weeks... it seems as though I haven't had a second to sit down and blog about my adventures until now.

I have done everything from tree hunting to riding a train to ripping through mounds of paper. I have got to meet some of my moms old friends, Clara came back from Moldova and Shainah (who I know from before) came in from Chicago. We went to Zoo Lights with some of my dads family and Emily. It was so much fun, even though if you were to look at all the pictures of my face it looks like I am scared. It was very chilly but the lights were very bright and the train around the zoo was great.

I went to dinner at Clara's parents house and the Falks house. I love getting to see everyone!!! It is just great.

Christmas was so incredible... so many boxes, so many toys and so much paper to rip through. We went to my dad's aunt and uncles house for Christmas Eve and then to my grandparents house. Christmas morning we spent here at home and uncle and grandpa came over. Then we went to my great-grandpas house with Mike. I am just now getting back on my normal sleep schedule but it was definitely worth it - so great to see everyone!!

I got a rocket from my great-grandpa that talks to me and lets me know when astroids are near, I think that might be a tie with the cell phone uncle Greg got me as my favorite new toy. Everything I got is great, though, so it is really hard for me to pick... I think it is best to play with one for a little bit and then another and another and another...
