Almost crawling

The little guy does become camera shy.

Liam is a "morning person"

He is this cheery starting at about 5h30 each morning...

World Cup

Watching the world cup with dad.... the soccer ball is a gift from the nice lady at the german consulate who processed his german passport application - go Deutschland!

Travelling high chair

Liam is testing his new gear. We love to take him out to eat with us, but he's caught in between wanting to get out of his stroller to sit with us, but being to small for restaurant issue high chairs. This one ought to serve us well.

Father's Day

Hanging out on the front steps with Dad,

and inspecting the garden with Opa ... check out those thighs!

A Tale of Two Pacies

Floor activity

Liam's typical mat-time activity... lots of rolling, lifting and kicking.

Sitting

Play ball!

Ready to globe trot

Liam's US passport has arrived. He's determined that it tastes alright. Mom and Dad are hoping to use it soon.

Jumperoo Casualty

A little too much barefoot jumping has landed Liam his first jumperoo (blister) casualty.

Playtime

Ride the Drive

Once a year the city of Chicago closes down Lake Shore Drive to car traffic, and opens it up exclusively to cyclists. This year we observed from the bridge, but next year we intend to have a bike trailer for Liam and participate.

Toes

Yum... toes. I can't remember ever being that flexible.
