liam at twenty months is a busy guy. over the course of the last month his words are growing exponentially. it seems like there's a new word every day and he's starting to put two words together. "mommy no," "mo peez," and "mommy baby" are all favourites. he also speaks with great intent to both of us. it's always something deeply important, complete with head nods and shoulder shrugs. liam has become little mr. independent. don't help me mom. i can do it myself. this unfortunately has lead to some serious melt downs. did you know that we can walk to the car and be perfectly happy and giggling all the way. but don't you dare try to put him in the car. he wants to do that himself too. cue screaming, tears and super rigid guy. ever try to strap a 2 x 4 into a car seat? you get the idea. all i can do is laugh. sometimes i feel bad, but really it is kinda' funny.
on a related note, the tantrums. oh the tantrums. we haven't even hit two and they've started. liam is also not one to shy away from a performance either. it's complete with body flopping, feet kicking, rolling around, screaming and many many tears. sometimes it's hard being almost two.
some of my favourite moments over the last month have been our saturday mornings. liam wakes up around 7:30/8ish. one of us will go get him and bring him into bed for snuggles. he's such a snuggler ... when he wants to be. snuggles are followed with going through his and our body parts. of course he is the one pointing everything out and it inevitably ends up with one of his fingers up our nose or in our eye. totally doesn't matter. i wouldn't change these moments for anything.
he claps and says "YAY" whenever he hears applause. so funny when the hockey game is on. we can tell he's already a devoted flames fan. loves playing with animal puzzles and absolutely anything car related. this kid is definitely like his daddy. he wheels his dump truck, with lightening mcqueen and mater in the back, all around the house saying "vroom vroom, beep beep". then he'll call out "daddy! bus bus bus". and the two of them take off having races around the kitchen table. it melts my heart to see them play like this.
we've finally graduated out of most of his 12 month clothing, a few t-shirts and jammies are kicking around. otherwise it's 12-18 month and a few 18-24 month pieces. he's just not a big guy. he's wearing size 5 shoes and i'm so looking forward to getting him some rad dude sandals for summer. i'm excited for this next month because we'll hopefully be able tell him if he's getting a new brother or sister.
liam you are the best part of my day and i love you love you love you!!
