Back in Business

After taking the month of January off from blogging I am back with more news and adorable pictures. The big news from January is:

• We had a nice family celebration of Christmas in Louisville at the beginning of January.
• Liam got his first haircut and first pair(s) of real shoes.
  
• Liam is now walking more than he is crawling.
• Liam is talking more and more all the time. His new words include "oops!" "bump!" and "no!" (He's big into exclamations at the moment.
• Allen started the spring semester. He is teaching one face-to-face class as well as his online classes.
• It seems that we've had lots of doctor's appointments in January. In a few weeks we have Liam's 18 month appointment.
  
• January was definitely cold and snowy. I know it's been cold for way too long because Allen walked home last night in 29 degree weather, with snow, and said, "It wasn't very cold."

Liam got some new bath toys for Christmas. He enjoys them both when he is in the tub and when he's hanging out in the bathroom with Mommy or Daddy.

Liam wants to do more things by himself these days. He still doesn't always understand how much to tip a glass in order to get a drink. We don't actually usually let him drink by himself from such a big glass!
