Our angry, little gnome

So Chris, Liam, and I were in Macy's today when we noticed Liam making a face we'd never seen before. It started out innocently enough:



And then progressed to this:



That evolved into this:



Then, Liam looked down for just a moment...



And when he emerged from his angry contemplation, we were faced with this:



Chris and I almost fell over laughing our angry, little gnome. He didn't seem to mind, though, because a few minutes later, we were treated to this:





Yes, it's official: we've become THOSE parents, the ones who think that their baby is the sweetest, cutest, most hilarious, etc, etc. And ya know what? He IS! ;)

Some Christmas photos

So, while Liam is no particular fan of Santa Claus (yet), he very much likes the Christmas tree. He is quite happy to spend long minutes staring at the lights and colourful ornaments. Here, he and Inspector Gateau (more on him later) graciously pose for Chris.





In this photo, you can see not only the Christmas tree, Inspector Gateau, and Liam, but also Liam's rockin' new monkey shoes (trust me, they are MUCH cooler when seen from above).





Me and Liam in front of the tree-- I swear, my little man seems to grow by the minute some days!

A word about Inspector Gateau: this esteemed French monkey recently joined our household to act as our Head of Security. He oversees all of Liam's activities, ensuring maximum safety. I recently sat down with Inspector Gateau and conducted an interview so that all of you could learn a little bit more about Liam's bodyguard, and I hope to post it soon.

Liam meets Santa Claus...

and couldn't care less ;) (Notice the one eyebrow lifted in complete boredom-- just like his mummy). His daycare had Santa in so that the kids could have their picture taken, and in all of the photos our little man looks supremely uninterested.




"Will someone get me away from this strange, old dude?"




"Please, jolly old elf, don't make me hit you."




"Fine! I may have to sit here, but I don't have to like it! I'm going back to sleep."


Perhaps Liam will be more receptive to the whole Santa thing next year ;)
