11 MONTHS!!! Almost ONE year!!!!

One more month to go before our little baby turns into a toddler. Its hard to believe he is changing so fast. This month he started three more teeth. He now has seven, but two are very small still. He has been extremely vocal and active this month. He very clearly says mama when he wants something and when I arrive to pick him up. He also says dada a lot, but I think it has many meanings. :-) He has all sorts of sounds. Sometimes it seems he is having a conversation in a new language. He is also standing, but only when he needs to do something that takes two hands, like clap. He also LOVES to walk around while holding our fingers. I think he is so excited about moving about that he doesn’t have the patience to take his own slow steps. Its just not an efficient method of travel at this time.

This month we brought Liam to the Zoo, a parade, the community pool, and a pumpkin patch. He loves being out where he can meet new people and see new things. He is crazy about getting the attention of strangers with a big smile and his wide mouth laugh. He loved the animals and all the sounds at the parade. The pool was a blast. He was scared at first, but once he saw a ball to play with he totally forget there was any danger.

Every month has been even more amazing than the one before. Its hard to believe this is the last of the first year of our life with Liam.

We hope you are all doing well and enjoying the arrival of fall.

Love, Shannon, Juan Carlos, and Liam

He knows how to laugh for the camera.
