Liam is 19 Months now. He still has new words here and there, although it seems he's taking a little break from language and developing new skills. One of which is climbing out of his playpen!! We have to be super careful now when we put him in there because he can escape that thing pretty quickly now. He's not quite at the age that we can take our eyes off of him for a second, so this makes getting things done around the house pretty difficult now. He can also climb up on the couch with out stepping on anything or getting any help, and he's also working on opening doors, the one with the lever handle!
His attention span is getting longer too. He can watch a whole episode of Elmo now. He has a little portable DVD player that he likes to watch while sitting in his chair. He does like to touch the buttons sometimes, so we tell him not to, and to sit back in his chair. Most of the time, he will listen. We are working on this one. He gets 3 warnings, then it's taken away for a while. Now that he's starting to understand us a little, we are learning how to discipline him, which is a little weird as first time parents.
He has never liked wearing hats since he was a newborn, but he's starting to wear a hat now which is good since it protects him from the sun. Now we just need to work on the sunglasses!
As far as his words go, our favorite new word that he is saying now is 'Bing'. Dad will take a hair band and fling it in the air toward him and say 'Bing', and Liam just LOVES this, and he will pick the band up and fling it back and say 'Bing'...it is super cute!!
I've been teaching him the word 'brother'...we know he will be a great big brother!!
