Opening Mail - Part II

So it's been a couple of months since Liam cracked up when I opened the mail. I had tried several time since, but it just wasn't hilarious to him anymore...until this morning! For whatever reason, the comedic value of ripping paper has returned! Enjoy!

Oh, and also note how he's trying to move about...he's still not quite crawling, but he scoots and rolls short distances to get what he wants. He'll even rock on his hands and knees...time to start baby-proofing the house!

Liam's friends

Liam attended his first ever birthday party on Sunday for Brayden Durham (the big number "5"!), and he also had a playdate with Emory Johnson on Friday (5 weeks). He learned to swing at the party and I think he really wanted to go down the slide, but he definitely had a great time watching all the kids run around.

First Tooth!

YAY! Liam has been working on getting his first two teeth in for the past week or so, and I noticed today at the grocery store that it looked like one had finally poked through! Of course I didn't want to stick my nasty-shopping-cart-germs-hands in his mouth to find out, so I waited until we got home to check. Sure enough, he had cut the tiniest little speck of tooth! It's in the bottom left center...here's a video of me trying to get him to bite on the spoon so you can hear it, because I knew it would be next to impossible to get a photo of it this early. He's hardly fussed about it at all...he's such a good baby!
