Liam 17 months

Liam in his house! Video time is very interactive. Liam and Abuelito took a little nap together Sometimes the forehead it the BEST napkin. Liam Liam .. he is so active. he loves being outside. in the morning he runs to the window and says ou ou ou ou ou ou or go go go go go go and points with viggor. He loves to fill his car with balls and pine cones and push it around the yard. He points out birds and squirrels and if he finds any debris in the yard that is not of the yard he will run it to us with an utoh! He is very clean. He doesn't like his hands dirty and when there is a little crumb or pebble on the floor he will also run it to us. He loves his books. Thank heavens! we were concerned there for a while. He will point out the chu chu, ball, balloon, car, water etc.. Its so much fun to read (point out) together. He carries them around and bring them to bed for us to share together. He says aqua, mama, dada (no papa), craka, gra (grape), buu (tooth brush), veo (video), ca, ou, go go go go go go, rif or do (dog), mor mor mor, boo boo (poopoo), gracia (gracias), thanku, patoe (zapatos/ shoes)and many more partial words. He helps with the dish washer and put groceries away. He really understands a lot and is eager to follow directions. He is a big big lover. kisses and hugs all the time. He loves to get into bed with us in the am and go back and forth with kisses and hugs :-) I love it! We bought him a potty chair a couple weeks ago. It has become a big hit. He pushes it all around, opening and closing the lid saying boo boo. Most of the time he poops he tells us and will go to the chair and sit down. of course its after the fact, but we still cheer and will take his pants off and put the poop in the potty, then go together to the big toilet and dump it. He get so excited and will keep checking the toilet after we flush. I don't know how to advance past this stage. he really cant take off his own clothes and I don't know how to tell him to tell us FIRST. So, now we'll just keep cheering and dumping until we all know what to do. And it is a pain sometimes... if we're out and there is no potty or there isn't the space to all work together ands share in the popoo event, it's difficult. Do people just stay home during potty training or carry a toilet around? Food... Liam is a big eater.. yes, crackers are a favorite. I struggle not to feed him the sames things each day. when he's hungry hes want to eat right away. I end up preparing things on the fly.. nuggets, sausage, eggs, sliced fruit,pasta, and cheese cheeses cheese. We don't really eat Liam friendly foods so, I always have to prepare him something special. He won't eat veggies unless they are pureed, except fried okra. He loves to hide under the crib and behind his rocker. when we're dressing in the am he always runs away and hides in our closet or bath. when I find him he busts out laughing and runs again. Though its very fun, it is a challenge when we're in a hurry :-) He loves his "te'te'" (pacifier ) and usually likes to have two at once. Though we do restrict this to around bed time or car emergencies. He doenst have any other lovey. Maybe his sippy cup of water .. he drinks a lot of water and carries it every where. One challenge ... he has just started biting when he's excited or frustrated. UGH! He bit the little girl he plays with at the babysitters twice. I felt horrible. Ive read about it.. its a phase I guess. I dont want to ignore it or punish him. right now we just try to read the signs before it happens and intercept.. hmmm In these pictures he is playing inhis house. I paitned this for him a couple weeks ago. I loves to be inside. He doesnt want anyone in with him! Its his special place. He'll go to the windows and yell out. We play with puppets and peekaboo throught the windows and give kisses through the peek holes in the door. Its SO much fun!!! CLICK for Liam Video in his house
