1: I think Liam reads the blog. He just started eating the crusty, fried cheese off his sandwiches yesterday but today he moved on to not only eating the fried cheese off the edges but refusing to eat anything not attached to the fried cheese on the outside. He spent a good twenty minutes pulling cheese from between the pieces of bread (until it no longer pulled out into cool cheese strings and began to just break off).
2: Matt read somewhere recently that Liam is supposed to be able to drink from a regular cup at this point. This idea was terrifying to me (I immediately pictured my entire house doused with milk from floor to ceiling) but I knew it had to happen sometime so I gave him a plastic cup filled with yogurt smoothie at lunch today. He immediately put his hands on either side of the cup, picked it up, and drank it like he’d been doing it his whole life (as is usually the case with developmental activities that he hasn’t mastered because his parents were too stupid (or scared of potential repercussions) to allow him to try). I said “Liam, I’m very impressed!” He has been walking around saying “Mama ‘pressed” for the past half an hour. Of course I had the camera handy for the momentous occasion:
Look Ma, no lid!

Mmmmm, Smoothie!
Maybe she’ll put down that camera if I can hide from her…
If I just concentrate hard enough, I’m sure I can will this smoothie into my mouth:
