Beach time

Liam enjoying the sandy lake Michigan beaches.... how did the sand get EVERYWHERE... inside diapers, socks etc? We had a thorough bath that evening.

Built to last

Liam playing in and alongside Mama's old wooden playard. He's been practicing pulling himself up along the rails.

And crawling now too.

Liam's many faces

Reading

Liam's cousins

Sophie, Melanie, Henry and Liam all catching up.

Keep practicing

Liam can scoot across a room pretty quickly now using his "army crawl." He's practicing his proper crawl up on hands and knees... so far he only moves a few steps before he's back on tummy scooting again.

Train ride

Making good use of cousin Henry's train engine.

Creeping

Liam is "creeping" on his tummy and can move himself across a room. Now he's just working on efficiency.

Dress up?

Not really. Liam just likes everything that everyone else has. In this case, he REALLY wanted my sun hat. (Check out that belly!)

After the swim

More peas please

Grass

Liam is hard at work eating the grass - a novelty for this city boy.

And follows up with directing his rubber duckies.

Lakeside Retreat

We enjoyed a relaxing holiday weekend in northern Wisconsin. It was Liam's first close up encounter with Lake Michigan, and the sounds of crashing waves lulled him into some long naps outside in his stroller.
