Hola Familia y Amigos!
Liam has had another month of rapid changes!
He is very quick with his crawling. The "slap slap slap" of his hands as his comes searching for me down the hall is hilarious. He is pulls himself up whenever he has a chance. This is his favorite thing to do in his crib when its time to go to sleep. :-)
He also is getting really comfortable with walking with his little push cart. You'll see his first few steps in the video here. It seems as soon as he figures out his balance he'll be off and running. Right now he is very independent. He goes all over the house in search of the unknown. He is fearless!
We have been planning for Liam to start some daycare in the fall when I go back to work. So, I have been observing daycare centers. While I meet with the teachers I let him explore. Once I put him down he is OFF! He loves the other kids and all the new things to discover. He always wants to stay longer!
He also waves bye bye and is full of babble babble babble. He has a lot of words just about to come out!
In the pictures you'll see he had his first camping trip. We all went to Crater Lake National Park. He was a jewel. Mom and dad didn’t sleep very well, but Liam was a happy little camper. He also experienced his first movie in the theater (Sicko, great flick!) and his first outdoor concert and the zoo.
He had his nine month check up Friday. He weighs 24 lbs and is 30 inches!
We hope you are all doing well and have had a chance to enjoy the summer. We'd love to hear how you all are doing too :-)
Love, Shannon, Juan Carlos, and Liam
