Road Trip!
Friday, May 1, 2009
Wow..it's been a long time!
I didn't realize it has been quite this long since my last post. So much to update. First the official St Patrick's Day photo:
The boys both recently had growth spurts. Liam, who I swear had weighed 29.5 for the last year, is now finally 30.5! It seemed to happen overnight. Liam is 2 1/2 and has become fascinated with playing baseball. He likes to wear his glove and pretend he is a pitcher with his leg up and out to the side in a windup position. He also uses this same leg position when he does his break dance move on the floor.
Luke is now 16 months and really is a toddler now. (Where did my baby go?) His physical dexterity is amazing. He can walk in a circle backward! He loves to dance to music and just recently picked up a toy microphone and made beatbox noises into it. Several months ago he started saying "sspp" for the word spoon. Now he is saying mama, dada, doggie, duck, up and a few other things.
This picture says it all. Luke still loves to eat. And he does it with joy and gusto.

Liam's First Trip to the Barber
I was worried that Liam would have a difficult time with the whole experience but to my amazement he sat in the chair very bravely and held still for the whole haircut. Pat, I have to admit, is a genius when it comes to giving first-time haircuts. He gave Liam a hockey puck to hold in one hand and a golf ball with a pirate on it to hold in the other. He spoke very nicely and gently to him and showed him how the buzzer tickled. Liam even giggled when he trimmed the back with it. On the way home when we stopped at the supermarket Liam proudly told the woman at the register that he had been to the barber.
