Story time and more

May 1st was the day to try something new for Liam. We busted out the high chair, and after violating 3 of the safety rules (don't attach this to a one legged table, don't attach this to a table extension, don't place anything underneath it) we felt it safe enough to plop him in. Actually, I think that the last one is silly because if something were to go wrong because of the first two issues, the 3rd seems to be the saving grace preventing our baby from ending up on the floor! So that's why we have a chair under his chair.
At any rate, since he's been enjoying being in a seated position, and he's always so curious about what we are doing at the table, we thought we'd let him start to participate a bit more in meal times. He really seems to enjoy being at the same level as us, and is certainly very curious about our food and what we're doing, but equally happy to play a bit with toys in front of him.

For the past week or so we have been trying to create more of a schedule or routine for Liam to help him learn to sleep better. It's been tricky for sure, and especially this past week and a half we've definitely had some long crying sessions around bed time and even some nap times. Still, we think things are coming along slowly but surely.

Here is a cute picture of James reading a bed time story to Liam. He's much more interested in books now, though sometimes he also likes to look up and watch you reading to him! Just today I was reading him a story and he tried to pick a snail off of the page of the book! It was quite humorous to see!
