Smile Week

August 24th, 2009

Good times could make boring reading . . . but maybe not boring pictures?

After a worrisome April, May and June, due to his infantile spasms, and a long time with no laughing, because of the medication . . . Liam has had a very happy week.  It’s been delightful.

(And in addition to all that smiling and giggling, he’s done these new things:

  • passed toys from one hand to another
  • put his hand down on the floor, when I had him sitting with support, to brace himself.  That’s said to be how they learn to sit
  • found that he can put a cloth over his face and then take it off again, rather than putting it on and wailing because he can’t see!)

Now, Liam’s main activity for the week:

They say babies’ smiles are there to remind the parents, “I’m worth taking care of!”  I believe it!

    The second to the bottom with the water is my favorite. The look says "Wow, this is wet" with a hint of glee – that is if I'm reading his face correctly. :)

    Beautiful boy.

    And in the third picture, he seems to be saying, "Hey, this lady who takes care of me is pretty cool. I like her!"
