Liam's 14 months

Last Saturday, May 21st, my little Liam turned 14 months old! I can't believe how much time has gone by. This time last year he was just a little tiny baby. Only 2 months old. My mommom and poppop and dad came down to visit and met him for the very first time :) It was so nice and so special to me that they we're able to come and not only meet their grandson and great-grandson, but celebrate my college graduation with me. 

I miss my poppop everyday but am so thankful that he was able to meet my children! and that he had such a great part in my life.

Liam has changed so much in the past 14 months. He is running everywhere, climbing on top of everything. He is my little monkey! He falls all the time, yells "uhhh-ohhh" and just gets right back up and goes. Once he has his mind set on doing something he is determined to to it, even if we are chasing after him and telling him no. He doesn't talk awhole lot, but he talks enough for now. Chloe was a talker at a very early age. By her 1st birthday she would say 2-3 word sentences. It was great to be able to communicate with her but you also couldn't get her to stop talking and you still can't! Lol she talks all the time and loves it and my dad tells her that shes just like her momma! hehe ;) What can I say...we have lots to say!
Anyway, I know that alot of things factor into Liam's speech, he has tubes now in his ears so his talking will come when he is good and ready. He says, momma, dada and daduuu is his new name for daddy sometimes, and Sean loves when he says daduu. He says bye-bye, hello (which sounds more like he-rro) But when he does it he puts his hands to his ear like hes answering a phone! (Sooo stinkin' cute!) He also says form of sissy and grandma. I feel like I am missing something but atleast its written in his baby book. 

Probably the funniest thing Liam is doing right now, is barking like a dog! ALL the time time! He hears a dog bark and he starts jumping up and down and going "roh roh roh roh" Its so funny to watch and he looks so happy doing it. He loves animals, especially dogs! Good thing there are 2 in the house to keep him busy and entertained. 

Dancing to music is another of his favorite things to do, he hears music on the radio or tv and loves to dance. 

He is also pointing to everything. If you ask him where something is like his cup, teddy bear, blanket, he points to it. He wants something, he points to it. Grandma made cookies over the weekend and since he had his first cookie from the batch, he knew where they were kept on the counter and would push a stool over and climb up, point and yell. Sean finally hid the box of them so that he would stop trying to climb. 

Here are a few pics of my growing boy when we we're camping on Saturday!

A little sad that he is getting so big but it's so exciting watching him grow :)
