Update.

Some of the pictures are too big. If you click on them you'll see it all, like Liam is in this picture, but is cut off for some reason. It is the same way with the last picture, Liam's head is there, just click on the picture!

My boys are growing so fast, I can’t keep up with them.  Liam is talking so much. He has the most creative ways of stating protest. Some of my favorites are, “Ah nuts!” He says it in almost a growl with his voice as low as he can make it. It makes me giggle every time.  The others are, “No Way!”, “I can’t believe this!”, “Oh great!” (that one is also growled), “Wait. Stop.” and “Oh my, oh me, oh my!”  He isn’t all ‘no’ though. He does say thanks for everything. When we’re working on puzzles or whatever else he often tells me, “Great job, Mom”.  He even calms me when he thinks I’m worried.  The three of us were playing in his room and the boys were taking turns going through the tunnel. I was eventually informed that it was my turn.  So I followed Ethan through who decided to stop at the exit.  Liam, not wanting me to be nervous, found my head through the tunnel, patted it, and said, “Don’t worry mom, I’m gonna get ya out!”  He is my little helper at the grocery store and will play peek-a-boo with Ethan the whole time, it’s wonderful to have a little entertainer with me.  He likes to play without Ethan too, he’ll play with himself in the mirror, it is so funny.

 

Ethan is getting so big, he’ll be eight months next week.  He has been crawling for a month and a half, he has perfected pulling up on things and is pretty good at the baby squat, he can pick things up without sitting down if it falls close to his feet.  He is going to be a climber, he’s mastered getting into the dishwasher, and is trying to figure out how Liam gets up on the coffee table so easily.  He’s got two teeth already!  He is the most content baby I’ve ever met, he’s usually too busy trying to figure things out to get upset.  However, he is fascinated by things he’s not allowed to have ie the remote, computer, shoes etc., and is starting to notice when we switch those things out for toys, that does make him mad.  He loves to play with Liam and thinks its really funny when Liam gets upset. He is obsessed with my cupboard, the bathroom, and eating. He claps and waves, and squeals. He and Liam are starting with the fighting already. Liam will take something away while screaming, "Ethan's getting the ____!" while Ethan yells because Liam is trying to take things away. It's gonna drive me crazy! They are fun, ACTIVE boys and keep us running. 

Can you see his teeth?

Liam is anti naps  these days.  The time change hasn’t helped any.  He fell asleep at 5:45pm.  I was banging pots and pans, talking to Ethan, slamming cupboards, singing. He did not move for an hour.  I love the pink and purple binks, it came in the package with an orange one. He looks comfy huh?
