Liam is 2 years and 2 Months

I know I say this practically every month, but it's true that Liam's personality continues to grow!  He is even becoming more affectionate.  He will give us hugs and kisses, and he will even say 'I love you' back to us sometimes.  He tries to do the hand sign for it as he says it too.  He's been eating better.  When he likes something he will say 'Mmmm this is tasty good', or he'll say something like 'Mmm tasty good strawberries'.   He's had a bit of an apple pie obsession lately.  He doesn't get a whole lot of sweets, so we are unsure where it came from.  But he talks about apple pie a lot.  He is still a bit unsure of Rowan.  He tends to get more interested in her if we have her on her play mat for playtime or tummy time.  But part of that could be he wants to check out her toys!  If we ask him to, he will give her a kiss, it's so cute!  He is getting better about sleeping in his bed.  Some nights he will actually sleep in his bed, although he does tend to end up on the floor sometime during the night.  I have ordered a guard rail from the company that made his bed.  The color won't match since there wasn't one made for his model, but we don't care...we just want him to be able to sleep soundly without falling out of bed.  The adjustment from his crib to his toddler bed has been quite interesting to say the least.  There have been a few bumps along the way, but overall he's done well.  One funny thing that happened was one morning when I went to get him, I found him running around his room completely naked!  Thankfully, he wasn't poopy that morning.  Now if I put on his footed pj's, I put a onesie on underneath.  As far as language skills, he continues to get better.  In fact, I was mentioning to his dad recently how much easier it is now to understand what he wants and doesn't want.  One cute thing he said this month was 'What's that?'  Dad was downstairs hammering something, and he stopped what he was doing and asked 'What's that?'  He really gets into his shows now too.  When they are doing letters and spelling he says it along with them.  If an action is going on, like if George is running, he will say 'Run Georgie, Run'.  And if something is intense or scary he gets scared too.  He was watching 'The Incredibles' and he screamed when something scary happened...it was so funny!  One thing that has developed over the last few months since I've been home with him is he climbs EVERYWHERE!  He is a little monkey...And another not so nice thing that he's started doing is spitting.  We are not sure how to deal with this new phase, but we tell him 'No' and now I make him clean it up...hopefully, he will stop that soon!  At the start of my maternity leave, I felt a little overwhelmed staying home, but I adjusted to it, and bonded more with Liam.  It is going to be so hard to return to work this month!
