It's been awhile since I've last posted and there's lots to tell. To start off, we had our second Walter Reed visit last week. This one was with cardiology since Mr. Man has a heart murmur. After an EKG where putting all the stickers on took longer than the actual test and a 40 minute ultrasound, where he actually lay still the whole time, we found out that he has an innocent murmur....thank goodness!!
We traveled down to VA Beach for Thanksgiving which was so much fun! We got to spend lots of time with Mimi and Grandpa Basye. They have saved many of Taylor's old toys, which Liam always has lots of fun playing with. He also loves Mimi's kitchen gloves, as you can see here:
We got to visit with Momma and went to the neighborhood playground one day where Liam had a ton of fun going on the slide. He can go up and down all on his own, but it was pretty cute, because everytime he sat down at the top of the slide, just before he went down, you could hear him whipser to himself, "It's okay."
As far as other updates go, Liam's vocabulary has really taken off. He is now saying four-word sentences and seems to pick up a ton of new words each day. He knows all his colors and at least some shapes. At Walter Reed, he kept pointing out all the triangles on the chairs to me. Liam's latest obsession is with machines. He loves any sort of "machine" including the vacuum, washer, dryer, microwave, stove, and his all-time favorite...the MIXER!!!
Liam also loves anything that has to do with cooking and the kitchen. The other day, we were home at night while Taylor was at school. Liam rarely..if ever...watches TV and so doesn't know who Elmo, Dora, Blue, Thomas, etc. are. If anything, he watches his Signing Time DVDs. Anyway, I was flipping channels and came across Thomas, which I dont' like, but wanted to see if Liam was interested at all since he loves trains. He liked it for about 2 minutes and then said "No Thomas." He then had me stop at Rachel Ray and watched a good 10 minutes of it, saying "Rachel Cooking. Rachel Cooking." He loved it!
This week is a busy one as Taylor finishes up finals and term papers, but we're off to NJ this coming weekend to visit my parents up there. We are still waiting on the allergy results from Walter Reed, but will be sure to post when those come in.
