Months 13, 14, and in the process of 15... OMG...


Yep, you read that right.  I'm a terrible blogger.  Worse: I'm a terrible mother!  I never missed a month with Lincoln, and somehow I've managed to miss almost 3 with Liam.  I'm sure he'll never forgive me...  :)

Oh, my, how this little guy is growing!!  So much to document over the last two months.  Here are the current stats:
Weighs 25 pounds, 32 inches long.  Wears a size 4 diaper, and a size 5 shoe.  We now have all but teeth in with the exception of three (not counting two year molars).  Top right canine is in, but the other three are JUST starting to push through. 
Liam is now a *running* machine!  Didn't actually start REALLY walking until near 14 months, and now there's no stopping him. 
He's a big eater (no changes there) and is able to use a spoon and a fork without problems now (mind you, I didn't say without a mess!).  He really loves nutrigrain bars, grapes, cheese, powdered donuts, crackers, peas, corn on the cob, and sausages.  First thing when he wakes up (may I add that this kid ALWAYS wakes up screaming... Grumpy in the mornings, just like his momma) - he's pointing down stairs smacking his lips together. 
He's really started sleeping well, and napping well in the last couple months.  He usually goes down at 830, and sleeps till 7.  He is still taking two naps a day (most days).  He hates to be covered up, and will immediately kick the covers off.  He's also not a big fan of being rocked.  When he gets tired, he'll come up to you, wave and say "Ny-ny."  Then proceed to go give everyone a "ny-ny" kiss.
He really loves tractors (Tra-tahs!), monster trucks, and his bumper car. 
He and Lincoln have really started playing well together.  They'll chase each other around the house, play trucks together, and more than anything else, race their ride-on toys.
This is pretty much Liam's normal face.  Unless I'm carrying him. 
This one is a MOMMA'S BOY!!!  I swear I feel like the family guy commercial most days: "momma, momma, mom, mommy, mom, mother, mother, ma, mommy......"  I can't say that I hate it though...  ;)


And we have most definitely seen a language explosion with this kiddo!  He may do everything else later than Lincoln did, but he sure does talk a LOT more than Lincoln ever thought about!  I was keeping a running list of words he uses, but I've finally given up.  Here are the most populars:
Ny-ny (night, night), bye-bye, tra-tah (tractor), doe-doe (donut), mo-mo (more), Tain-too (thank you), PeetaPeeta (pizza pizza), pop-pop (popcorn), bat (bath), Out (ouch), ah-oh, aside (outside) and NO NO!
He's also pretty big into animal sounds right now.  He can do a horse (ne-e-e-e), chicken (bockbock), monkey (ee-ee), dog (bark), lion (rawr), and cat (mow).  He can also point to his belly, nose, feet, and eyes.
Liam is following two step commands (pick up your shoes and take them to daddy), and is really surprising us with the things he understands.  Funny how you forget these kind of things?
This kid can demolish a room in ten seconds flat....
He really loves to be outside.  And he LOVES to swim!  He will crack you up in the pool.  Put his puddlejumper on and in he goes.  He'll jump off the steps, blow bubbles in water, and put his face under.  He has no fear! 
We've also had our first ER run with Liam last month.  It was just a virus, but we couldn't get his fever below 105, so it was a little concerning.  He was actually at mom's when it happened.  We headed out in the middle of the night to meet halfway.  Poor guy was a little zombie...
He really loves his cousin, Annalee!
Liam is such a sweet and loving little thing (when he's not screaming!).  I can't believe he's already been here 15 months...  I sure love him...
