Every day, Liam does something to amuse and sometimes baffle us. Over the week of Thanksgiving, he figured out that he can give directions and people will do what he tells them. He spent a good part of the holiday weekend telling his Uncle Duh (Dan) to "Go!" so he could chase him around the house. He's also taken to grabbing my hands to steer me to where he would like to go, that includes pulling me to the floor to sit and play.
Liam has also started giving big hugs. I mean BIG hugs. He just grabs on tight and squeezes! I love it!
A few weeks ago Liam was banging his cup on the table. I put my hand on it and said "please don't Liam, it hurts mommy's ears." He put his cup down, put his finger to his lips and went "sshhhhh." I checked with Geoff and I don't do much shushing so I'm guessing its a technique he's picked up at school.
This past week, both Liam and Geoff have been under the weather. During this time, Liam has started to grab his own tissues, 'blow' his nose, and then throw the tissue away. You can see a short video by clicking here. This appears to be a great skill until I discovered if he couldn't reach the tissue box he was grabbing used tissues out of the trash! Yuck!
Liam has gotten more interested in music lately. He has always loved to dance (see multiple previous posts) but is now seeking out music. When we get in the car he points to the car radio, grunts, and does a little car seat dance to get us to turn on some tunes. He'll bounce from side to side and wave his arms, even bob his head. He doesn't like to dance alone. He insists that Dad dance too. He points to him, says Dada, and then illustrates a little dance he would like repeated. He will even let us know if he's not a fan of the current song (no to Green Day, yes to Beastie Boys, at least this week).
