Haircut

The other exciting event of the weekend was Liam's second haircut. I took him to Ray's Barber Shop (affectionately known as Razor Ray's), where we waited about half an hour for our turn. The fact Liam sat relatively still on my lap for 30 minutes waiting his turn was nothing short of astonishing. Unfortunately, the long wait + haircut extended through his lunch and into his naptime, so the moment he sat in the chair, it got a little dicey. Unfortunately, the best I can provide a is a photo from the waiting room, and then a video from this evening, so you can see a before and after shot (the before shot gives a nice view of his chompers, too). Liam was flailing around and having a fit for most of the haircut, so pictures were out of the question. It's amazing how a haircut can make him look so much older...

A photo tribute to dinner

Hi Friends - just this weekend, Liam tried two new things - pickles and tofu (that's little bits of silken tofu mixed up in his sweet potatoes). He loved both. In fact, he was downright rebellious when we took away the pickle he was gumming. He's also become a rather squirmy little fellow, which adds a new element of action when it's time for dinner. He eats willingly, but T and I have to be fast to get the spoon into his mouth instead of on his face or into his eye as he scans his surroundings looking for something to grab or shove in his mouth.

Delish!

Sorry we have been a little lax on posting lately. I think we're still pretty close to one post a week, which isn't entirely embarassing. OK, only three posts in December is actually pretty lame. We have a few things to tell you about our weekend and some local Christmas happenings. Stay tuned. And stay tuned as well for what I'm sure will be an interesting post about Liam's first airplane ride and our first airplane ride with a baby. We fly PWM to CMH, connecting JFK on Wednesday. I'm less concerned about his behavior than I am about connections and delays. Usual air travel unpleasantness. Today's post, though -- food.

Overall, Liam is a great eater. His veggies include carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, and a somewhat ambiguous (but organic) blend called GREENS. I think it's green beans and spinach. His favorite by far are sweet potatoes, carrots and peas he can handle pretty well. The greens, however... I'll let this little still-camera based video speak for itself. (I think you need to have quicktime installed and your browser properly configured to see it. If you can't see it and still want to see the video, say so in the comments and I'll send it along)

Sorry, I just tried to figure out how to post video directly to blogger and it seems I'm not smart enough right now. For the time being, you are welcome to view the video here.
