Liam has been working hard on getting his teeth in. We now have included K and T (the lower molars) to the brushing routine. (meaning they just came in, not that we have been ignoring them before)
So, Liam now has 10 out of 20 of his baby teeth! I'm so excited!
Maybe we can blame the biting other people on his teething. No? Ok, yeah that's probably still my fault.

Watch out! He's a biter!
So now we have this going for us; Liam has bit his first "real" person. (Besides Evan, myself or Butters)
Today while picking Liam up from daycare I got to hear about how when the babysitter was watching the kids, it looked like he was giving his friend, Brooke, a hug. However, once Brooke started screaming she discovered that Liam was biting her. Apparently bad enough that he left a bite mark and now I'm hoping that the poor girl doesn't also have a bruise.
If you are close to me I may have discussed with you already that Liam has always had a tendency to bite. As young as 6 months he would bite me while nursing, which is very painful by the way. I have always told him NO! and moved on. He has not bitten me while nursing in a long time but now when we play together sometimes he will bite me or Evan.
Evan likes to blame me and I actually may agree with him this time. When I rough-house with Butters I like to pretend that I'm another dog and I'll "bite" her face, her legs or her abundant loose skin... I know it's really weird and I'm embarrassed to admit it, but Butters and I have lots of fun this way. Plus, if I ever get attacked by another dog I will have had lots of practice on how to defend myself. Actually probably not, if I ever get attacked by another dog I would probably do a lot of other things first before biting them back.
Anyway, Liam has apparently been watching Mommy and now we have a problem on our hands. Looks like no more rough-housing with the dog and lots of discipline with my new found vampire.

Happy Easter!
Sunrise service, Breakfast at the church, finding his Easter basket, spending time with family and an Easter egg hunt summarize Liam's second Easter! Oh boy, was it a fun day!
Aunt Emily
Liam has a lot of pretty awesome Aunt's. Aunt Carrie, Aunt Ellen, Aunt Stephanie and Aunt Adriane. I am now dedicating this blog to my big sister and Liam's Aunt Emily.
Aunt Emily is lots of fun. Aunt Emily can make me laugh. Aunt Emily is really cool. Aunt Emily sings me songs. Aunt Emily reads me books. I love Aunt Emily!
Thanks for being such an amazing Aunt Emily!
Grandpa!
Liam is very lucky to have two amazing Grandpa's who are very involved in his life.
Last night I was telling Liam that he needed to "sign" Grandpa Fink's birthday card because tomorrow is his birthday. While he was doodling on the card he started to say "Gran-pa, Gran-pa." How cool is that?
A lot of times Liam will say a word once or twice and than when we try to prompt him to say it again, he has decided that it's time to move on. In an earlier post I bragged how Liam had said "Zip" for zipper and we haven't heard him say it since. But last night, we heard "Gran-pa" for the rest of the night!
Since I knew the possibility of "Gran-pa" being short lived, we called both Grandpas immediately. While Liam didn't get to talk to them personally, we left some very nice voicemails for "Gran-pa."

Time for a haircut
Liam's hair grows very quickly. That makes sense as both Evan and I have very thick hair as well. Most of you know that I have taken it upon myself to cut his hair since I don't like paying the $18 at the hair salon.
I never knew that Evan would be fighting me on when I could cut it. (Well let's be honest, Evan likes to disagree with me very often. I guess I shouldn't be THAT surprised.)
I have yet to take Liam's 12 month pictures. He is now 15 months old, or will be in 8 days. So I decided that we would go get pictures tomorrow. Which would mean that Liam needed a haircut. Evan, of course, disagreed.
Which resulted in me encouraging him to take Butters for a walk after dinner so I could cut Liam's hair when Daddy wasn't around. This worked for about 10 minutes before Evan came back and caught me.
I've heard that sometimes you can try to live through your children. I personally think this is what Evan is doing with Liam's hair. Here is my proof of Evan's ridiculous attempt at trying to grow out his hair in college, be warned, it is the dumbest thing you may have ever seen.

Temper Tantrum #2:
I was not present for this one but could hear stomping of little feet as I was doing the laundry in the basement.
According to Evan he was also rolling around on the floor....where is he learning this????
Can I start blaming daycare for all bad behavior from now on? I already blame all the times he has gotten sick so I think we should keep going with that theory.
