Mama's boy

Excuse the crazy shadows.  Someone doesn't know how to use their fancy camera.  Or any photo editing programs for that matter!  Another month gone by, another month older, another month of new stages.  Liam's currently going through an extreme mama stage.  He only wants me.  I hear, "mama, hold me...mama, hold me.." over and over and over from the time he wakes up till he goes to bed.  He hates it when I leave him, even if it's just with Joe.  I really know this phase wont last forever, and I can't imagine him never NOT wanting me (which I know will happen), but good grief!

Joe's last day of summer school is Wednesday.  Thank goodness!  It's only been a 6 week class but it's twice a week which means Liam and I have been alone for dinner most of those nights the past 6 weeks.  Looking forward to more of a normal routine and only having him at class one night a week next semester.  Besides only wanting me, Liam is changing so much everyday.  Tonight when I was giving him a bath Joe came in and was reciting part of the book, "Hop on Pop."  He stopped and Liam continued on with the next parts of the book!  He's also talking really good.  He knows so many words I can't even count them anymore.  He can even say marionberry clear as day.  And also saying three word sentences.  Tonight he wanted some fruit at dinner and said, "I hold it" (the bowl).  He is also obsessed with Sophie, airplanes, both of his Papas and the neighbor kids.  Oh, and picking our blueberries.  And being outside.  As soon as he wakes up he starts pointing to the window and saying, "side!  side!  side, mama. side!"  Side=outside.  That's how all the cool toddlers say it. ;)
