Liam Dayne
18 months
18 1/2 lbs
29 inches

Milestones: Standing without holding on to anything for longer periods of time.  He is so close to walking alone! He's also starting to identify body parts, using his shape sorter properly, and trying to put socks and hats on by himself.

Tooth Count: Still 7! 4 molars, 2 bottom middle teeth, and 1 top middle tooth.

Eating: 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks.  He feeds himself every meal, but is still learning how to use a fork and spoon properly.  He nurses morning and night, but he's beginning to wean.


007

Favorite Foods:  Bananas, Strawberries, Oranges, Yogurt, Peaches, Pineapple, Cereal Bars, French Toast, Yogurt Melts, Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Noodle Soup, Pasta with Red Sauce, Carrots, and Cheese. That's the short list! The boy LOVES to eat!

Sleeping: He sleeps 12-14 hours every night without waking, takes one afternoon nap, and often falls asleep in the car.


069

Words/Signs: Mama, Dada, Papa, Dyl (Dylan), Up, Hi, ByeBye, Pop, and Bubbles.  He is learning animal sounds, and regularly woofs and oinks (that sounds funny!).  He signs more and eat. He signs eat A LOT.  He also loves to sing!

Likes: Snuggling, giving hugs, tackling his siblings, cruising around the house, playing, taking baths, speech therapy sessions, going to the library, and eating.

Dislikes: Being cold, getting his diaper changed, and getting his face wiped.  He loathes the last one!

Favorite Toys: Fisher Price Peek a Blocks Train, Leapfrog Cook and Play Potsy, Play Kitchen, Fisher Price shape sorter, Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Puppy's Activity Home, books, and his foam letter playmat.  He's also obsessed with playing with Lily's mini baby dolls that are in a mini bunkbed!

Nicknames: Miam, Little Dude, and SuperLiam.


053

Health: Other than a few sniffles, and a few low fevers, he stayed healthy!  It's hard to tell if he had a cold (Dylan and I did) or if he was just teething (he is).


123

Early Intervention:    He receives Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy in our home. Each type of therapy is once a week for one hour.


059

Wearing: Mostly 6-9 month clothing, although a few 0-3 month onesies and 3-6 month pajamas and shirts still fit!  He wears a size 3 diaper and a size 2 shoe.


062

Personality:  Liam's pictures say it all.  My sweet snugglebug isn't suffering in any way!

  5. Can I just say I am so super impressed with Liam! I love reading about him because he is such a wonderful example (as are you) to how a person with DS is no different than the rest of us!! (Besides he is so stinking cute!!!) You know Cody is only about 2 months older and he doesn't even say as many words as Liam. I wish that we lived closer because I think that Liam and Cody would be fast friends!!
