How toddlers are like cats...

They both like to chase laser pointers! We were at Mac and Cassi's for Easter dinner, and before we left Tony broke out his laser pointer... when none of the cats wanted to come out to play, we noticed that Liam was fascinated...

Hey! I caught it!


Darn it, come here little red light...


Hey, how did it get up on Mommy's leg?

Is there something on my face?

Liam is really enjoying feeding himself lately, which means lots of messes for Mommy and Daddy to clean up. Here he is enjoying some yogurt and some apple sauce. I am starting to think it would be easier to feed him in the backyard, then I can just hose him off when he's done! Oh well that's why we have dogs, right? They clean the floor, the highchair, the baby... :)

New Toddler Containment Device

We recently had a new toddler containment device installed to keep Liam away from the temptations of the road. You can see he's fascinated by it already!

Oh, sweet freedom! How I long for thee!


Darn, the warden is watching...


Let's go make nice with the camera lady.


Toddler successfully contained!


Now I shall charm you with my long eyelashes...


I've been eating dirt! Yum!


Hmm, leaves are not as delicious...

Entertaining myself in the kitchen

Fun in the kitchen... you have to love this lip!


Who's mugging for the camera?


Ha!!


I can spend 20 minutes screwing the top on a water bottle...


...and unscrewing it...


...then screwing it back on again...


...and off...


Whew! All that hard work made me thirsty!
