Check out my new hat!

A big THANKYOU! to TiaLindz for my new hat. Just in time for winter, too.

It's been a while since a little update, so I thought I'd start with this photo as it does well to illustrate that Liam has learned one of the most important lessons of his childhood: The best place to play ball is INSIDE the house. Seriously, he's developing at a tremendous rate these days....running around the house, kicking his little soccer ball (Thanks to Uncle Todd for showing him this trick!) and also learing lots and lots of new words. He now knows lots of words and seems to pick up a new one every day or so. Top of his list are: Teets (treats, for Gibson of course), eyes, nose, ears, teeks (cheeks, which he says as he pinches your teeks, toes, up, down (both of which he uses many times a day as he is either telling you to pick him up or put him down), he loves the word Ba (ball, which he uses for his soccer ball or gibson's tennis ball), wowers (of course), yoos (shoes), yuks (socks), baby, woka (rocker, which i'm most impressed by!), boy, girl, house, bok (block), puppy, doggie, eyeper (diaper), own (bone, i think), poopu (purple, his favorite color of wowers), ipo (hippo, one of his favorite toys), knee, kwock (clock, as in 'There's a Zlock behind the Clock', what you've never heard that one?), hat, buk (book), happy (his favorite book right now is The Happy Bee's & after a good session of reading it a time or two or eight, he'll cruise around the house saying HappyB, HappyB!!), apple, poon (spoon), cup, ugo (juice, or hugo in spanish), kwaker (crackers, which are delish!), gowdish (goldfish, by far his favorite cracker), car, tuk (truck).....and probably more that I can't think of right now. It's really amazing to watch him develop so quickly...scary too!
That's all from the Buckeye State on this fine saturday morning (Liam was up at 6, napping by 9. probably not too different than those tailgaters!). Love to all, LiamRay
