Liam-isms
Some of my recent favorites:
"Carry you" - as he looks up at me, arms raised to be carried.
"This one is mine, this one is yous."
"Pinecones" - used for actual pinecones and for orange traffic cones
"Hook" - the part of a jacket that goes over your head

Liam is a keen observer of behavior and language. I realized this recently when we were playing with cars on a table and one flew off and hit the floor with an impressive crash. Liam turned to me and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness!!" We also recently put a bowl of ice cream in front of him - his response, "Holy Smokes!"
Language
I always find it amusing when Liam interprets a phrase or saying that we usually take for granted. Very much like his understanding of buttons.
When we arrived at a family party recently, Aunt Lisa asked Liam if she could take his coat. He turned a looked at her incredulously and said, "No, you can't take my coat, it won't fit you."

Big Boy
Liam loves to tell me every day that he's "getting bigger." This is his usual monologue:
"Mommy, I'm not a baby, I'm a big boy. I'm getting bigger. I'm growing up. I'm getting taller. I'm going to be a man. You don't carry me any more (yea, right)."
He also told me the other day that when he gets bigger he's going to be a man and when I get little I'm going to be a boy.

Songwriting
Santa brought Liam a little piano for Christmas and ever since, we have been "blessed" with the gift of music in our house. Liam's taken to making up little songs to share, a la Elmo-style. If you're not familiar, Elmo-style singing invovles repeating the same word over and over again to a little tune. Liam's most recent debut songs include:
Firetruck
Mimi's Slippers
Truck
Jammies
Blanket
He's also recently started "performing" a few covers: Old McDonald and Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Each rendition is concluded with a flourish and the expectation of wild applause. I'll have to post a video one of these days.

Prayers
Every night before we turn off the lights, we say our prayers. One evening, around the holidays, we said prayers and then I said, "God bless Liam."
He then replied, "and God bless Mommy and Daddy and Mimi and Papa and Uncle Dan and Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Lisa and Rob and Chris and Angie and Katie and Kyle and Mark and Ryan."
