What he's doing

Liam really wanted to feed himself breakfast this morning. He actually used the bowl end of the spoon quite a bit of the time. Then he experimented with eating yogurt and prunes with his hands and the other end of the spoon. Maybe he won't starve before he figures this out.

Liam remembers what's in different books. Today when he wanted me to read him "Green Eggs and Ham" he made the lip smacking motion I make when the guy tries the dish in question. If you tell him to get "the shark book" he knows which one it is. He's really been favoring Dr. Suess lately, which is kind of funny because we have several books around that are actually geared toward babies and Suess definitely isn't.

He is still not walking, but he's "cruising" much more now. he will sometimes walk while using a vertical surface for balance, but he still seems pretty unsure of that. He's climbed up on the couch once and is using his big car to push around and walk with.

For two nights I slept with Liam to see how we were doing on the night weaning and to give Allen a break. Liam went about three hours between feedings, which is better than before, but still not what we're going for. Last night Allen slept with him again and Liam woke up every hour. Not sure if he just wasn't feeling well or if he was confused by all the switching.
