The kids are growing up....

Abby and Liam are growing up....

Abby continues to amaze us with her ability to recall information and sing songs. She can now spell her name (Abigail) Spell Liam, and Abby. She has a song that goes through the days of the week and one for the months of the year. I am so amazed by her.

Abby is also at the point where I can say she is potty trained. We still have some accidents, but we no longer have to buy Pampers for her. We still use pull ups for naps, but she got big girl underwear and loves to wear them.



Liam is also growing up. He can roll to almost anywhere he wants. He loves to play on the floor with Abby. We put out toys and the two of them laugh and play together. Soon he will be crawling. Then we will be in trouble.

He now has four teeth. We have been lucky in that the teething stages have not lasted long. Liam loves to eat baby cookies, breads, cereals etc. We are working on his finger coordination for the smaller foods, but he is doing great and seems to like most foods, including pickles.

Liam is almost sitting up all on his own. He can do it for a few seconds, but then falls over. If you give him a ball or toy to hold on to, he can stay up for a bit longer. I still see him as my little baby, but seeing him sitting up is so fun and reminds me he is growing.

Liam is also now saying dada quite a bit. I am working on getting him to say mama and Abby is working on her name. He babbles frequently and I love to hear him. It is like he is singing. Soon we will have two little talkers telling us stories and singing through the house.

I love our family and am so blessed to have such wonderful kids!
