My baby is TWO! Guess I missed a few months since my last post....because did I mention that my baby is TWO?? It is such a cliche to say that kids grow up way too fast, but it is so true. I was sitting in Liams room the other day, rocking him to sleep for his nap (he was getting spoiled...we don't usually do that anymore), and I just kept thinking about the day that he was born and about how tiny and precious he was. At that time it was hard to imagine life outside of sleep schedules and breast feeding, but now here we are, two years later, and life is fantastic!
Liam is very, very busy these days. He almost always wakes up in a great mood, raring to get going...and doesn't slow down until after bathtime at about 7:30. He is even trying his darndest to give up his afternoon nap, but thus far we have managed to convince him that they are still a good idea. Ha.
He is VERY car obssessed! Well...pretty much he is obsessed with any sort of machine that moves (think trains, planes, cars...you get the idea).
Before Liam was born I had all of these ideas about trying not to push any sort of gender stereotypes onto my child, but little did I know that some things are truly just engrained into them. I am sure that having a father and grandfather who are also car obsessed has played a huge role in Liams love for them, but he has just been a very "boy-y" boy since day one. He likes to push baby strollers, but has no qualms about tossing those poor babies right on the ground as soon as he realizes they are along for the ride. At least we have a Lighting McQueen stuffie that he loves and we work on giving hugs to, etc. So I have at least a compassionate car loving little guy on my hands :)
The other loves in Liams life right now would have to be:
* Going to playgroup. If we even walk by that building while walking Chloe, he gets really excited.
* CARS 2!!!!!! Seriously, we watch this movie every. single. day. No lie.
* His Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater Stuffies. Sleeps with them every night.
* Swimming. He continues to be a water baby and actually kicks and swims very well.
* Bath time. Goes along with his love of water. He could stay in there forever.
* His Grandma/Nana/ and Poppas. He just loves them all! He's a lucky, lucky little man.
* Being outside. He will often bring me his boots to tell me he wants to go out, and hates to come in.
* His belly button. Enough said. lol.
* Reading books. He especially loves Clifford books, and seek-and-find books.
* Food wise: cheese, crackers, apple juice, cereal, pb and j sandwiches, broccoli, bananas, nutrigrain bars, yogurt, strawberries, cucumber, kiwi, and anything mommy eats! lol
* Playing with Chloe. He loves it when Chloers chases him.
* Snuggling with mommy or daddy after bathtime. That's our favorite too :)
