Right Now

Liam is 11 months old. He now eats little tiny bites of solid food. He can sign "more" and he can say "mama" and "dada" regularly. He screams at us when he wants something. He smiles and giggles SO much. He has crazy separation anxiety (or at least crazier than his brother ever did.) He sleeps in our bed with us, but is now only waking 1-2 times a night to nurse, instead of 2-4. He is chewing on everything. Books are his favorite food. He learns by putting things in his mouth. He likes to ride in the stroller. He can stand and cruise along with the furniture, but can't walk on his own yet.

Shawn is 2 1/2. He is temperamental. He talks non-stop. He totally cracks us up. He likes to play games on my ipod. He is crazy smart. He knows his colors, shapes, numbers, and most letters. He thinks he is the ruler of the house. He loves to give Liam hugs and kisses. He also likes to hit Liam on the head. He loves to take walks. He enjoys eating candy, cookies, cake & brownies.. but fruit is his favorite. He would eat asparagus all day, everyday if we could afford it. He recently has started to enjoy hiding. His imagination is starting to really develop. He finally sleeps in his own bed and sleeps all night.
