Don't expect this kind of treatment forever, folks, but before school starts I'm taking it a little easy. I mean, I am still rehearsing for a performance on Sept 25th and studying for my German exam that will take place ON THE SAME DAY, but hey-- I cleverly will be performing dances that I have performed before. Cheat! As for the German exam... well, I'm trying put in an hour of concentrated studying a day. Our little guy likes to go to sleep at 7pm, so that isn't too hard.
Liam is amazingly easy-going. He thinks yoga is funny mama entertainment-- especially with all the crazy breathing. When I was rehearsing the Harlequin dances, he helped me understand what was funny. I do the bulk of my rehearsing during his morning nap, but if pressed for time, he will oblige by watching me for 10 minutes or so. And he lets me take a shower!
Our challenges are still a bit of nursing distraction when not at home (although it is getting better) and a refusal to take a bottle. Eeek. So now we are buying all kinds of different nipples and bottles-- various flow levels, etc. etc. ad nauseum. Being good scientists, we are also trying to use controls to figure him out (but of course, if the main problem is time to get used to the bottle, all of this is NONSENSE)-- frozen vs. fresh milk, feeding positions, and I should really not be anywhere near the experiments. He took the bottle fine before and during Schwetzingen, but now the little guy has wised up. Bummer.
If you haven't read Jeremy's Utrecht entry, do it now!! He's much funnier than me.
In lieu of being clever, may I present to you... Tummy Time!
Watch for the moment when he becomes hypnotized by the ladybugs on his quilt...

Too cute! Love his foot moving to the beat!
Sorry, that was me.
oooohh.. scientific method for parenting. Keep in mind:
1) You are not at steady state.
2) The amount of assumptions you must make relative to what you know to be true is quite significant
3) Remember the heisenberg uncertainty principle
it's indeed a thin veneer of imaginary control.
Re: heisenberg:
So what you're saying is that the more precisely we quantify the position at which he likes to take the bottle, the less precisely we can quantify the rate at which he consumes the bottle? Interesting, I hadn't considered Liam's wave/particle duality.
