Erie Children's Museum

Liam and I headed over to PA for the afternoon to play with Ben and Eli Iszkula, (and their parents too). We went to the Erie Children's Museum, which was this great two story toy mecca for Liam. He really like the big slide, playing in the water, and the big castle too.

Man on a Movie Mission

Liam is obsessed with Disney to say the least. His favorite movies include "Guy" (Toy Story 1, 2 and 3, although 2 is his favorite), "Puppy" (Bolt), Pooh, Cars and Monsters, Inc. Now when I don't "get the hint" that he wants to watch a movie, he asks for my hand and leads me to his DVD drawer. It's cute and funny, although I don't know if I'm thrilled that the child now leads me to get what he wants.

Liam the Musical Fireman

My son definitely is kooky and we love it! On this particular morning, he decided to wear his fireman hat and get out some instruments. I called him Liam the Musical Fireman!

Blowing his Nose

I feel like I've added one of these silly videos of him blowing his nose before, but each time he does it, it cracks me up! Of course he's not really blowing his nose, just making a good nose blowing sound. I also love his fake "AH-CHOOS!" When we read Bear Snores On at night, he loves the part when bear sneezes and adds the sound effect in each time!

Swim Lessons

Since Liam's Mommy is not the world's best swimmer, we decided we needed to get him into swim classes ASAP so that he feels comfortable in the water. We signed him up at the Macedonia Rec Center where he goes each Saturday for 30 minutes. Before and after the swim lessons, he can play in the baby pool which he loves!
P.S. Check out his new favorite word, "NOPE!"

Liam loves Disney

Liam and I went on a shopping spree at the Disney Store yesterday. He was in love the moment we walked in! He had so much fun showing Daddy all his fun toys last night, including Guy (AKA Woody), Jessie, Nemo (he never wants to watch it), Buzz and more! His favorite toy is his big Winnie the Pooh. They have one just like it at the Hudson Library. He starts yelling for Pooh as soon as you he sees the library and it's a fight to leave Pooh there when it's time to go. PHEW! Now we have one of our own!

ElephanTuesdays

As a "thank you" from the zoo for being a member, we had special tickets for ElephanTuesdays. It was not exactly a big thank you - we had to wait in line for 45 minutes before entering and were not allowed to walk around the rest of the zoo. BUT Liam did enjoy seeing some of the animals, especially the owl.

Little Gym Beasts Class

This year Liam moved up to the Beasts class in Little Gym. He just finished up his spring semester with Teacher Bill. Liam did a great job!

Tickle Time

We tried to teach Liam how to tickle. We emphasized the whispering part of when you tickle someone, but somehow that translated into yelling tickle tickle! He was cracking us and himself up!

Swimming

On Memorial Day weekend we took Liam swimming at my mom's pool. He enjoyed the baby pool much more this time. Unfortunately, he also got his first skinned knee in the baby pool! For 20.5 months I kept that boy skinned knee free...I guess it had to end sometime! He was a trooper about it and did not even cry! We didn't even noticed until we got in the car. He was fascinated with his "boo boo."

Blossom Time Festival

We took Liam to the Chagrin Falls Blossom Time Festival in May. The game and play area was a muddy mess, so we avoided that area and basically went straight for Popcorn Shop ice cream, funnel cakes and lemonade! Liam LOVED the lemonade, even though it would make him shake all the way down to his toes!
