Houston, we have a problem

...okay, not a serious problem. Liam has just decided that when he sees the camera out he covers his face with both his hands and looks down...mischieviously I might add. Does that spell stinker or what?! As a result, there are more action pictures which isn't all bad. Mom just isn't fast enough to get many good action photos that are still in focus.

Liam's newest fascination is with running water in the pool, in the bathtub and in the sink. I am not looking forward to the water bill next month!

Still perfecting his bubbles


Opening and closing doors is another one of Liam's fascinations. This exhibit at the Children's Museum is right up his alley


There is something to be said about looking younger than you are-we crashed the 'baby' exhibit and Liam got to practice crawling through a fun obstacle type course

Awwwwwwwwwww is all I can say about this one. At the prompting of one of my friends, Julie, I bought Liam a little doll. This doll has been a great example in how good she can be getting her teeth brushed. Liam brushes her teeth first and then I brush his. When she doesn't fuss, neither does he. Liam also likes to put lotion on her just like we do to him. It shouldn't have surprised me that he would lovingly tend to the doll in the baby nursery. His favorite thing about the entire experience was the "light switch" exhibit. There were 5 different switches connected to lights on the wall. This was right up his alley!

Just had to prove that Liam isn't smiles ALL of the time. This particular morning I had just put the Puffs away to serve him his breakfast. This is his pouty face.

This is the closest picture I have to capture the bottom lip maneuver. It all happens very fast with the lip first followed by the eyes and then sometimes a tear. This particular moment was prompted as I had just changed his diaper and told him I was going to wash my hands.

  2. The babydoll pic warms my heart. The fact that he knows how to care and nurture indicates he has been cared for and nurtured - and loved. As always, thanks for sharing.
