Liam is 14 months old...
Things he loves ~
Climbing ~
He loves climbing on anything and everything especially the stairs, couch and bench in the kitchen. He is definitely a clone of Grayson and has inherited the climbing gene.
Baba ~
He is obsessed with his baba and asks for it all the time. He gets 4 bottles a day with around 7 ounces. It's so cute to hear him ask for his baba. I need to reduce his bottle intake because he is not eating as well as he should at his age and I know it's because he gets so much milk.
Snuggles ~
He loves to snuggle with anything soft especially his lovies and his big teddy bear.
Wearing shoes ~
He is obsessed with shoes (his and Grayson's) and brings them over to us to put on him. He associates shoes with going outside (his favorite). He stands by the backdoor and tries to turn the lock to open it. If any keys are laying around he will use those to try to open it.
Puppy Backpack ~
He is obsessed with Grayson's puppy backpack and loves to roll it around the house. He wants to take it everywhere including walks and the store. I ordered a new one for Liam, but of course Grayson likes the new one better so I ended up buying two.
Slides~
He loves going down the slides at the park and goes down all by himself now. We help him climb up the equipment and he will turn himself around and go down on his belly. He is turning into such a big boy. He squeals when he gets to the bottom on the slide.
Books ~
He loves the lift flap books. His favorites are (any book by Karen Katz): Toes, Ears and Nose, Roar, Roar Baby, Splish, Splash, Baby!, Baby Loves Fall and Where is Baby's Belly Button
Toilet ~
He is obsessed with the toilet and sticks his hand in the water and throws a fit when I tell him no.
New Things ~
New Teeth ~
He has 1 new tooth, his right side molar. I think he will be getting several new ones soon.
Climbing ~
He climbs up on the bench and pulls himself up on the glass table and stands up to touch the light. This is so dangerous so we have to move the table away from the bench. He is such a little monkey and loves to climb on anything and everything. He also climbs up on the wicker basket behind the couch and climbs over the couch. He knows how to get down by flipping around and letting his legs hit the ground first. The other day he did this on the wrong side of the couch (the side with a long drop) and hit his head. Unfortunately he learned this the hard way. He can almost climb over the bathtub and tries every day during bath time.
Dramatic ~
We have a little drama king on our hands. He is so dramatic when he doesn't get what he wants and falls on the ground and lets us know he is unhappy.
Hitting ~
Unfortunately he's been watching Grayson a little too much and has picked up on his bad habit of hitting. Luckily Liam is doing it in more of a playful way, but it still needs to be nipped right away.
Things he is doing and saying ~
He loves to say Hiiii and apparently says it the same way I do. My best friend Allison heard him and said how cute it was and how it sounds just like me. I guess he is soaking up everything around him. He loves to wave hi and bye bye. He uses sign language for "all done" and "more. "
Whenever I tell him its bath time he goes to the door by the stairs and waits for me. It's cute to see him understand and follow commands.
Grayson and Liam are starting to play together more and more. Grayson loves to give him raspberries and Liam just giggles and plays along. They have their own language and its so fun to watch them interact. Liam will make a silly sound, and Grayson will copy it and they go back and forth. I know they will be the best of friends in the near future. For now, Grayson likes to beat up on him as he is a little jealous. We know Liam will be one tough little boy.
Schedule ~
He wakes up around 7am, has a 7 ounce bottle of milk, plays with his toys, has breakfast around 8am, takes a nap around 9:30/10am and normally sleeps around 2 hours. He has lunch around 12:30 (he is very picky and is not a very good eater, but loves his puffs, crackers, any kind of meat (pork, chicken, steak and also loves hot dogs and ham off the bone), pasta, cheese, yogurt, pretzels, veggie sticks, popcorn, fruit shreds and yogurt melts (sometimes). He takes an afternoon nap around 2:30 and normally sleeps for 1-2 hours. We try to go to the park around 5pm for about an hour and then have dinner around 6pm. The boys have a bath around 7pm, snack afterwards and then go up to get ready for bed around 8pm. We read books in Grayson's bed while Liam has his bottle. Liam goes to bed around 8:30.
Size, Looks and Personality~
He wears 12-18 months clothes and some 18-24 months (sweatpants and pajamas from Old Navy) and size 4 shoe. Liam looks similar to Grayson, but definitely has his own look. The last picture is Liam on the left and Grayson on the right (they look like twins). Liam has such a cute personality. He is a sweetheart and loves to snuggle. He's out little lover. Anytime he sees something soft he will lay on top of it and cuddle with it. He loves music and starts dancing anytime he hears a song.
