CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Finally, Liam has a new skill that does not involve moving...well, moving out of a sit. Liam can now clap his hands and is quite pleased with himself over it too.
Liam likes to clap his hands when he throws the ball. Liam likes to clap his hands to music and Liam likes to clap his hands when Mommy sings him silly songs.
Liam also has started to dance. This is quite hilarious to watch as he first started doing it in his highchair during mealtimes. I think I mentioned how long it takes Liam to eat; so mommy and daddy play music so we don't go crazy. Dancing includes bobbing your head and your legs at the same time so when he gets going he can almost move the chair! Yesterday while nursing Liam I turned the TV on so I wouldn't be bored. And an old Sex and the City episode was starting. For those of you who lived under a rock while that show was on it has a very distinctive theme song at the beginning of the show. I looked down to check on Liam-he looked back at me with that mischievous grin and....LET'S DANCE!
He started bobbing his head and rocking his whole body back and forth on my pillow smiling away like this was the best song he's ever heard. It was quite hilarious and I'm sure if someone had been looking in my window they would have seen an infant who looked like he was having seizures and his mother laughing at him with her boob hanging out. I like to keep it classy. :)
So, we'll keep dancing and I'll try to teach Liam some new moves-although I think he thinks he's already a pro.

Master Crawler...and anything else that involves movement
It's happening...the day I knew would come. Liam has become quite skilled at crawling. He can now crawl anywhere and everywhere...quickly.
Say goodbye to the days where I could set him on the floor to play with his toys while I rushed to the bathroom, or do the dishes, or fold the laundry. (I actually never did any of these things before anyway, well except use the bathroom, but now I can say that I can't get to it)
Liam has also become very talented at pulling himself to a stand...on anything. His toys, the chair, the couch, my legs, Butters, the TV stand, and the hamper. He also enjoys playing with electrical cords, trying to unplug the computer has become a fun new game. I am so proud that he is gaining new skills every day, just some days I wish that they involved more sitting and less moving. :)
Liam is now 9 months old and is still in the 3rd percentile for weight. Coming in with a solid 15 pounds 6 ounces. He is our little guy and while I think he's perfect the doctor wants us to try to fatten him up a bit. So, we have increased Liam's food intake and he is loving it. Toast loaded with butter has never gotten me excited but Liam giggles with delight when he sees us spreading those extra calories on. Dinner which used to include a veggie or two and some fruit now consists of meat, veggies, fruit, and of course toast. All with butter.
But wait, that's not all. He doesn't get just one serving of each, Liam gets as much as his little tummy desires. As long as he keeps opening his mouth we keep shoving in the food. This has resulted in mealtimes taking as long as an hour, and while we love interacting and playing with our little man watching someone eat for an hour gets a little boring. Mommy tends to get a little crazy and start singing Liam songs that I make up on the spot. I often am surprised at my creativeness but when I look towards my husband for approval at my wisdom I often get "the look."*

Hopefully this getting fat thing works out, I just have to remember only Liam is supposed to be gaining pounds. Butters and I are still supposed to be on a diet.
