Red shoes, Leaves and Cookie Dough

Don't feel sad for us for too long. We ended up having Thanksgiving dinner with another Canadian family here. It was great!!

Liam has some new crocs which don't fit yet, but are good for practicing walking and for taking off.

Eating cookie dough. This occupied him for quite some time.

Liam's stuff

Here are some pics to give you a feel for what Liam likes and what we do during the day. The days are feeling long lately, it has been raining a lot and its Thanksgiving here, but we have no family to have Thanksgiving with. I am SO looking forward to Christmas. I didn't imagine that it would be this hard to adjust to living in a new place. But we did join a swimming class this week at the YMCA and Liam is such a brave little swimmer, he did amazing for his first time!

Looking for the schoolbus that goes by in the morning and seeing it!
With his beloved - the blanket. He is falling more in love with it by the day. It now goes pretty much everywhere with us. He is always pointing to it first thing when you get him out of bed in the morning. Saying, don't forget that!!

At in indoor playplace with his friend who isn't in the picture. He wasn't as adventuresome as Liam was.

Banging the salad bowl is a favorite pasttime as I make dinner.

I found him IN the frying pan the other day.

Learning to walk

And I saved the best for last! This is how I found him this morning when both Brian and I weren't watching carefully enough. He had toilet water on his face too!! Gross...we better keep the door shut.

Face De Jour

Not sure why it is underlining my font....I can't get it to turn off and I am too tired to play with it any longer.

Ahh....the many faces of Liam
chocolate face
His weird eye closing face, I found him trying my shoes on which he very passionately told me were dada's!! Then he did this face.

The very serious face. This is because he is always trying to pull that lamp over and I am forever telling him that it will hit him on the head and he will cry. He is obviously cross that I won't let him pull it over.

I guess we are just missing the happy face, I'll try and catch that on camera if he would stay still for more than one second.

And I do promise that he is walking about 10 steps or so, but for some reason blogger won't let me upload the video. You'll have to wait till Christmas....the suspense.

Our week in Oakville

Here are some pics from our time at home. It was a crazy busy week, but so great to see so many friends and family. We miss everyone!!

Liam loving my mom

With his cute little friend Kaden, funny...

Splashing for his audience

With my dad

my little monkey

Liam was a monkey for halloween. It seemed appropriate since he scoots on his bum like a monkey. He loved halloween!! He was handing out candy to everyone and loved getting candy too. I think he likes the peanut butter chocolate the best, like me...

He really did look cute, here he is kissing the pumpkin. Who carved that ugly pumpkin anyway?


Lifting the very heavy pumpkin
Eating chocoalte before he even goes out

The monkey in action

Just being cute on our blow up mattress waiting for Grandma to come
