Last week we enjoyed a visit from the Doris on her way to Augsburg. Liam is alway thrilled when there is someone other than mummy and daddy to give him attention. Aunt Doris, Oma, Opa, Uncle Bernhard are all huge hits with the little man when they are around. It is pretty much like we do not exist once one of these folks comes into the room. That is actually fine, we can normally use a little break from the energy ball. One of the first things Doris did (that I saw when I got in from work anyway,) was read some books with Liam while he shoved pretzel in his face.
This of course resulted in getting his shirt so messy that it had to be cleaned. It was about a nice and warm last week, so it was no problem to let him run around in his little undershirt. Tragedy struck when Liam threw the tiny pooping chicken on the floor and knocked a wing off, but Doris was able to save the day by performing an emergency wing-reattachment.
After that near catastrophe, he had a cuddle. He also took this chance to point at me and yell "PAPA" a bunch of times as he is wont to do. Oh, Liam can almost say his name now "Miam" and he also has picked up saying "OK" over and over again. He says it in a long drawn out fashion which I find funny. "OOOOOOOOOOOOKAAAAAAAY"

It's funny how he calls you papa instead of daddy. Is that a german thing?
Oh yeah, the small bits of your new house (with furniture) look really good.
i remember when little davey would sit in my lap in vanier.

Papa is indeed what German babies call daddy. I think it is an easier noise for the little ones to make.
I will have some more photos of the house when things are a little more finished. We just put up some lights and pictures, curtains will be up in the next days.
Kids love the "P" sound. My niece runs around yelling "Puppy Puppy Puppy." She doesn't have a puppy. She has a book called "Puppy Please!" But she runs around with her arms in the air yelling "Puppy puppy puppy puppy puppy" really loud.
