42 weeks

I have taken no additional pictures of Liam since the play date...Yes I realize that makes me a bad mommy.  Just know that the next few weeks will be picture heavy since Liam and I will be seeing family. 

A few highlights:
This week Liam has really be making progress with opening and closing his hand/waving, repeating one word phrases including Daddy and HOT (we're trying to teach him not to touch the stove).  He still only says momma when he cries :( 

When Dominic gets home from work he'll usually pull Liam into our room and play with him on the big bed.  Liam just loves throwing himself on the big euro pillows and giggling away at all the funny things daddy is doing or saying.  Most nights he'll even wrestle with daddy...I'm pretty sure Dominic lets him win.

He's been getting more brave about letting go and has been standing on his own for a few seconds here and there.  He's certainly not walking but I don't think we're far from it.

I've started planning Liam's first birthday party, the theme is going to be Dr Seuss and I have a billion ideas up my sleeve. 

Again, I realize I'm a terrible mother and I promise to make it up to you soon :)
in the mean time Dominic took a few videos of Liam in his bouncer and I thought they might help you with a little Liam fix



and in this one he's bounced out...he does have a diaper on and was put to bed in his crib just after the this video.
