I go back to work this week (officially next week Monday, but we're expected to show up for some meetings this week), and I feel like I've gotten to know Liam a little better with some of my summer off. I thought maybe we could share this little survey for things to try with our LO's... I'm getting better at this now that he's getting older, but stuff like this really helps me :-) TIA!

Outdoor Activity: riding his tricycle or playing t-ball with DH
Place to go: a tie between the park or the children's museum

Milestone: He loves sports and is very athletic and coordinated (he gets that from his Dad, not me ). He's been taking soccer class on Saturdays and he is really excelling. He's also been much easier to understand and his vocabulary has exploded.

Book: Are You My Mother
Movie/TV show: Dora
Character (Elmo, Dora, etc.) Dora
Latest milestone or thing you'd like to brag on: Olivia loves to play with my camera, well I can't just let her do that, so I have her an old digital one of mine. She strutted around the yard like she was such a professional photographer.

Latest milestone or thing you'd like to brag on: He's not very verbal yet; we actually have an appointment to get that checked out, but he climbed this big rope net on the playground for the first time the other day, and he LOVES running and is pretty amazing at it endurance and speed-wise.
