First Haircut and a Second Halloween

Liam endured his first haircut last night, at the hands of a very nervous mother. Thanks to the iPad from work, Ricky Gervais singing a Celebrity Lullabye to Elmo, and a watchful father, he no longer is the wild baby from Borneo. And, he may never forgive us, but he ended up with this adorable glitterfish costume that needed to be documented for posterity.

Happy Halloween! 

Time with Grandparents

Liam spent a great week (or better part of) with his grandparents. Dressed up like a little boy from Ladue (rich suburb of St. Louis). Played with Dad in the backyard. A good week.

Harvest Time

So, despite crazy work schedules, we were able to meet up with some friends and enjoy some less-than-fruitful apple picking. Liam enjoyed sampling, however. In other news, it appears that Liam is somewhat intrigued by his father's un-baby-proofed medical tools and learned how to listen to his heart. In even bigger news, Liam sat on his potty and used it for the first time!!!! Bring on the fun. Pictures of the last piece of news are not attached, as none were taken. We do have our limits here.

Happy October!

So, Liam can credibly identify a dog, a duck, a cow, a cat, and a monkey complete with appropriate sound. He actually said the word "dog" appropriately, too. Jim is also convinced that he used the word "done" accurately twice today. Clearly, a video would be good at this point. :) We'll work on delivering.

In the meantime, Liam's new past times include shopping for snacks in the kitchen. He had a Target bag he was fishing in for awhile, which has now been replaced with a bin. Said bin is also hidden now, save for approved snack times. What treasures lie within the bin, you might ask? Multiple forms of dried fruit, at the emperor's  request, yogurt melts, apple sauce in the pouch, other pouch smoothie food, graham crackers, etc.... Dried fruit is his favorite...the more expensive, the better!
