Liam Milestones

Although i don't have photographic proof yet, i know that Liam is rolling over. i found him on his stomach twice last night after he was set down on his back. i might have to set up a hidden camera.
Two days ago we gave Liam his first taste of food. Just boring rice cereal and he didn't take more than a teaspoon. He kept trying to spit it back out. He acted like it was terrible but he has been staring at everyone when they eat. He is ready and i will have to teach him to enjoy it.

Couscous or Goose Poop?




two things... first the photos. they are of Ella post falling on her face off of a slide. Carl said it looked pretty serious but Ella is fine.
Second, Ella cracked me up today. she is showing off her sense of humor. At dinner i served Couscous. I told Ella how much i loved Couscous and asked her to try saying the word. Well, she tried but what came out was "goose poop". Carl and i looked at each other and i asked her to say Couscous again. Again she said "Goose Poop". i understood her clearly the second time and it became a big joke for the rest of dinner. She just learned about goose poop a few days ago when we ran into Kurt at the park and decided to join him for a walk around the park only i was wearing 3 inch heels so after awhile of walking in them i just threw them off and walked barefoot. i then told Ella that i had to be very careful not to step in Goose poop cause that would be "eeww". she has been found of the word since. yesterday she said it as we walked in the park again. only i had shoes on so it wasn't such a problem. At dinner it was just a joke. my funny valentine.

Sleep

Liam and Ella are sharing a room and are finally out of our room and bed. I felt it was time so I had Ella practice sleeping in her bed through the day last Thursday then on Friday I took apart Liam's bed and I moved it to Ella's room. When night came, I told Ella she was going to help mommy and daddy by watching Liam. Ella had no trouble going to her bed that night. She has cried some in the past 3 days but she has transitioned better than we could have expected.
Ella is growing so fast. Each day I here her saying something new. That mommy, that Ella., she said today when she was looking at photos. She is also counting to 3, and she flys through an advanced puzzle without even thinking about it.
