Late April/Early May
The weather has yet to turn nice, but Liam doesn't mind too much. He just learned there's a small yard out back with a ton of interesting things, like stones, a garden hose and a water meter. Today Lester took him outside barefoot to stomp in some puddles. At first he was a little reluctant to walk on cold, wet concrete. (I would be too!) Be then he tried it, and as you can see from the expression, it's fun.
This last week marked the arrival of tooth number seven. We didn't have the drama like before, but certainly a little less sleep. Bean also nods his head yes (sometimes even when he means yes) and he also sometimes says 'yah' when you ask him to do something. (Doesn't mean he'll do it.)
Liam has finished at Building Blocks school, and will have a little time at home with me. Currently I only teach on Wednesday nights.
Tomorrow we're off to the ocean for two days. I was thinking about how lucky Liam is to be able to travel. Lester and I were both adults before we'd seen both oceans. Liam will be just over a year. We updated our destinations map in the upstairs hallway to include Liam. (With help, he added green pins for Portland, Austin, San Antonio, Tampa and Cocoa Beach. On May 2nd, Liam weighed 23.5 pounds and was tall enough to reach the doorknob.
