Liam actually has done some significant new things lately.
The biggest one is so... weird. His first word is
"Tooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeees...."
We have heard him late at night, after everyones in bed, saying
"Tooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeees..."
It sounds like he's evoking a spiritual principle: softly, reverently, contemplating... toes.
We were happy enough about that. Since that time our friend Meg introduced him to "vroom!" for toys with wheels; and "moo" for a toy cow. (The cow has gender identity confusion, but that's neither here nor there.) Meg, you rock.
Liam also can go buh-buh-buh with fingers on lips (or without), and imitates when we do.
His sounds are mostly consonants (except "toooees"). "Moo" is "mm," and "vroom" is "vv" (or sometimes a sort of spitty bluster). These are good, and recommended by the speech therapist; he needs to learn these sounds.
His moods range from "Cool! We're playing with a ball!" (for which he can sometimes say "buh") to Nay nay nay I didn't have a nap so stop it! stop it!
Meanwhile, Charles is auditioning for an anime role.
