The secret got out that we have a great view of our township fireworks from our front yard, since they're only set off about 1/4 mile down the street, so some friends came over on Saturday to take advantage of the good spot. Ever the party lover, Liam stayed up to catch the show. This ended up being a good thing, because they were so loud they shook the house, and he surely would have been woken up anyway. He was fascinated by them (gaping mouth and all):
We enjoyed a quiet day at home on Sunday after another long night of Liam's teething woes (does this ever end?!). Liam has discovered that if he wants to get an out-of-reach object, since he can't crawl to it, he can get on his tummy and manipulate the mat to bring the toy to him. Because of this, we sadly had to put his gym mat away after he figured out how to scrunch it up enough to make the toy bars come crashing down! Instead, we just put a blanket on the floor, which gives him more space to move around-- although it doesn't take him long to gather the blanket into one big heap. He loves the tags on this blanket that Whitney made for him!
He also figured out how to roll over consecutive times to get from Point A to Point B... Point B apparently being the leg of the coffee table that he wanted to give a little hug to!
Have you discovered him trapped under the table/chair legs yet? That was Anya's favorite serial-rolling trick. She could get there in a hurry!
