Liam's talking a lot more!

So every day it seems like Liam's vocabulary is expanding more and more.  (Which is what is supposed to happen at this age).  He still oddly pronounces only the second half of some words, but others are getting more and more clear.  He will occasionally bust out with something super cute like "BACKPACK!" or "BATMAN!"

The exhaaaaaaausting thing about this is that he constantly wants to share all of his words with me.  Meaning this is what my days are like now.... "MOMMY?!?!" "Yes, Liam."  "TRAIN!"  "Oh, Train!"  (I have to repeat what he said or he just says it over and over).  "MOMMY?!?!" "Yes, Liam." "TRUCK!"  "Truck."  Repeat, repeat, repeat.  The other day, we had just gotten in the car and I handed Liam a book.  BIG mistake...lol.  I thought I was going to lose my mind... he wanted to tell me about every single object he saw on each page.  I then become the crazy lady yelling at her child to "STOP SAYING MY NAME!!! PLEASE!"

He's starting to string two words together a lot, which is cute to hear.  The other day we went for a walk after dinner and Mike had taken Brielle ahead of me and the boys.  Liam noticed and RAN after Mike, screaming, "DADDY WAIT! DADDY WAIT!"

Other Liam things.....
-He's huge into trains again.  He likes constructing tracks and walks around constantly with trains, saying "choo choo!"  He carries them everywhere.
-He has this claw thing and LOVES going around picking up his toys with it and carrying them to a new location.  If a toy is too big and he can't pick it up, he gets very upset.
-When he gets mad at Eli, he hits him with toys or bites or kicks Eli.
-The kid loves yogurt..always has.  He has a routine that cracks me up.  He will typically go get a yogurt from the fridge and try to open it (by sticking his finger into it and licking).  I make him sit down and he yells "BIB!" cause he knows he has to wear his bib with yogurt.  I put it on and give him the yogurt.  He then dips his spoon in and licks the yogurt off of the back of the spoon.  When he's 95% done, he rips off his bib and throws it on the ground (always lovely, since it's covered in yogurt) and then finishes the rest.  If I don't get there in time, he throws the spoon and yogurt container, too.
-He loves carrying around Brielle's baby... he thinks it's his baby and he likes to give it hugs and teach it things.
-He loves doing somersaults/flips on the couch.
-He has a funny little run.  He can go pretty fast but always looks like he's going to fall down.
-He remains an applesauce and sticker addict.  He will easily go through 40 or 50 stickers a day.
-He does not like it when I sing and always yells "TOP!" (stop)
-He loves riding on my back or when I carry him like an airplane.
-When we went to a friend's pool last week, he was brave and stuck his face underwater!
-His favorite book right now is Hop on Pop.  He asks me to read it every night and laughs and laughs when I do.
