10+ months (Liam is 45 weeks)

Liam is starting to balance and stand and sometimes he will try to take some steps. He also has a Lion walker that he helps him to walk too.  We are pretty surprised how quickly he is learning to walk. He points at things he wants, and his new sound lately has been 'ba ba'.  One habit he started recently has been blowing raspberries while he has food in his mouth.  It was pretty funny the first time, but then got pretty messy.  Thankfully he doesn't do it all the time now.  He's getting really good at chewing, and he really likes cheese.  When he likes something he will say 'mmmm' while eating it.  He will also point and do the milk sign if he wants more.  One morning I brought his bottle up to the play room and a yogurt for me.  He got really excited, and I thought he was hungry for his bottle, but he pushed that away, and came over to me and wanted some of my yogurt.  He gets cuter and cuter everyday, and we ask each other all the time how we got so lucky!

Liam is 10 Months!

Liam's personality is emerging now, which also means he's developing a mind of his own!  He is now starting to let us know if he wants to do something, but more so if he doesn't want to do something.  We can see 7 teeth now.  He went through a brief faze where he wasn't interested in eating food, but that seems to have passed because he is now eating really well, and a lot too!  His new foods that he can have now is processed dairy, and he absolutely LOVES his 'Yo baby' yogurt.  He also loves mashed bananas.  He started clapping his hands, and scrunching his face.  He's also a little chatter box, talking to us, to the dogs, to the window, and to himself.  The sounds he says most these days is Mama, and Dada.  He can turn a bad day into a good day in seconds just by giving us a big smile!  Happy 10 months Liam-WE LOVE YOU!
