Where did my Zen Baby Go?

Back in September, I commented that Liam was a little Zen Baby. Where is that child?
These days he runs around, all day long. He walks almost all the time now, looking for trouble to get into. Most of the time he climbs up onto things where he doesn't belong. He'll maneuver a toy into just the right spot, then scale the toy to reach something way up high. His tippy-toes get a lot of exercise.

He pounds on the windows, grabs cords, slobbers all over the remotes. In his high chair, everything goes directly to the floor. Then, with a sheepish look, he says 'mo, mo' which means more. I think he' a Newtonian physicist in training.

Before bed, we take a bath, read a story and play. Regardless, he nearly always crays for a few minutes and then falls asleep. However, I would no longer classify him as a Zen baby. :-) He LOVES to scream quite often. When he doesn't get what he wants, look out!

This week, we went back to the doc. The perpetual ear infection is gone, and with summer on the way, the doc no longer thinks tubes are needed. yay!

On April 2nd, Liam had his first haircut. We took a walk to the haircut place beside our local grocery store, and he sat still the whole time. He was such a brave boy!

A few days later, we took him for his first pair of walking shoes. He's looking very cute!
