Liam is starting to understand things that we say. One day we asked him to help pick up his blocks, and he surprised us by actually doing it! He even grabbed a few from across the room that were with some of his other toys! We were pretty impressed by that. The other day I asked him how old he was, and he put one finger up, and today I asked him where his nose is and he pointed to his nose!! I also asked him where Elmo was, and he pointed to Elmo. He has gotten pretty good about asking for more by doing the sign, and saying 'more' or 'mmm' and pointing at what he wants. So far, some of the words he can also say and/or recognize are 'Cheese','Fish','Kitty','Bear','Dog','Ball','Balloon' and 'Koko' (who is G'ma and G'pa's dog). If he's hungry he will do the sign for more, and if I ask him if he would like some food, he will do the sign for food, and get really happy and excited because we understood him. He's getting really good at climbing and can just about get on the couch by himself. He also has discovered that if he stands on something he can get higher up which makes climbing up on things easier. One of his new tricks lately has been walking backwards. He really loves books, and will sit on the floor and turn the pages, and also bring them to us to read to him. He especially likes to have a book to look at right before bed, and it will usually help calm him down if he is crying because he doesn't want to go to bed. We got him some baby safe toothpaste that is fruity flavored, and since then he has been much better about brushing his teeth (knock on wood). Some of his favorite foods lately have been mango's, kiwi, strawberries,tofu,hard boiled eggs,veggie hot dogs and sliced turkey. He had his 15 month check-up today, and he now weighs 21 lbs. 13 oz. (15th%), he is 30.75 inches (40th%) and his head is in the 91%. Yes his head is BIG!! We love having Liam in our lives, and are grateful he is with us each and every day.
