We are so proud of our little 15 month old!\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’d like to take just a moment to catalog all he is able to do.<\/p>\n
Liam is getting more and more mobile on his two feet.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 These days, he might be found walking from the kitchen into the dining room to find Maggie or his truck.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He still walks on his knees, but he’s gaining the confidence he needs to take off on two feet and walk!\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Because he can’t quite reach the floor as he’s riding his truck, he will propel himself using one leg.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 The other leg is tucked up under him bum on the seat of the truck.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 What a sight!<\/p>\n
He is a climber!\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He tries to climb a lot of objects, but especially likes Maggie.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He likes to climb on Maggie when she’s laying down.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Usually she is pretty patient with him and will let him climb up and over her.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’m thankful she is so good with him.<\/p>\n
Language, Language, Language… Liam has been learning sign language since before he turned one.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 We got a little discouraged because he wasn’t responding with signs as we continued to use them.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He’s using them now and we need to learn more so we can continue to build his vocabulary.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He knows: Please, Thank You, dog, more, eat, and all done.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He waves for Hi and Bye and also blows kisses.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He uses the sound \/bo\/ for bath and bottle.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 When he signs, “Thank You,” he also makes a distinct sound.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He can say “apple” and understands a few phrases.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 The chicky says \/bok\/.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 “Put it in your mouth, Liam,” and “Put your head down,” both solicit the correct behaviors.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He understands what a truck is and will go to it if asked to.<\/p>\n
Liam likes to do a lot of things, but here are just a few that rise to the top of his list.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He fancies the kitchen cupboard and any drawer he can get open to empty its contents.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Putting objects in containers can occupy him for quite a long time!\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He is always a happy camper outside.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 If he’s fussing and is brought outside, the crying stops.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 It’s amazing, and I’m sure we will have a lot of fun outside this spring and summer.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He likes to play in Maggie’s bowl (water and food) and is willing to help clean up when asked.<\/p>\n
Liam is not huge eater, but he will eat almost anything if it is combined with apples<\/strong>.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 For example: apples and sweet potatoes, apples and pear, apples with chicken, apples with yogurt.\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 We will continue to find combinations!\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 If you’d like to pass along your apple combination, please do!<\/p>\n We are so amazed at how much growth happens in such a short amount of time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are so proud of our little 15 month old!\u00c3\u0192\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’d like to take just a moment to catalog all he is able to do.
