Mamma and Dadda

It isn't so much that he's saying mamma and dadda as he's said that for a few weeks.  Rather, more the fact that he says them with such love and excitement these days.  He really knows how to make you feel good with his big yells for mamma followed by big hugs.   He wakes up and is quickly asking for dadda (as he's sleeping with mamma since the house is a disaster from bathroom remodeling work going on for the last month & his is the only dust free bedroom.

At school, we just made it through a full week without any biting incidents.  This is probably the first time that has happened in over a month.   It isn't that he's all that mean, but somehow sees biting as a way to get some attention --- when we yell at him, he laughs.  Hopefully this passes quickly.

Overall, he is very aware of the English language and seems to understand quite a bit.  He answers questions with very emphatic Yeaaaah or Noooooooo.

Val: Do you want another hot dog?

Liam:  Yeaaaah

Val: Do you want to take a bath?

Liam: Nooooooo

Liam is starting to like TV a litte bit and not just when we are in the car.  He won't watch much, but he does like to order up some "Elmo", "Monkey" (Curious George), or "Mickey".   We also throw in some Bob the Builder and a little Thomas too.   

And this is another Florida picture Shawnas sent us.  Liam and Summer were great buddies!
