Liam's walking is improving everyday. It seems a few weeks ago he went from walking a few steps to walking across the room overnight! On Nov. 22nd we met some friends at the aquarium and Liam seemed to enjoy the fish. The stingrays and sharks were especially fun to see. That evening he felt really warm, and he spiked a fever. We took him to the after hours clinic, and the Dr. said he had a virus, and not to be surprised if it's Roseola and he breaks out in a rash when the fever breaks. Sure enough he did after 3 days of 103 degree fever, he had a little rash. When he was sick he wanted us to hold his hand while he walked around, and every time he bumped himself a little he started to cry. He usually is pretty independent and not so clingy, so we knew that he must have been feeling awful!! After a few days he started to feel better and his walking picked right back up. He now can walk and turn directions, and balance himself walking over objects on the floor.
His new word lately is 'Bear', it sounds like 'Behr'. He calls things he likes bear like the dogs, and us, and Elmo. Although, he does call the dogs, 'dog' too. He loves our dogs, and thinks the chihuahua is especially funny. He laughs every time he sees Wilhelmina, he just thinks she's the funniest looking thing. He will clap his hands when we sing pat-a-cake, and he is also starting to mimic us. He will click his tongue when we do. This past weekend Mike found some old Sesame Street episodes online and we all have been watching clips of it. Liam seems to like Sesame Street which makes us happy because we love to watch it too! Plus it brings us back to our child hood. His Birthday is coming up in a week, and we just can't believe just how fast his first year flew by!! It sure has been a great one with him in it.
