Mandy, Liam and I went to Milwaukee to spend some time with our Wisconsin and Ecuador families.

Liam is getting really close to walking but he still needs something to hold onto for balance.

When we were in Minnesota for Christmas my dad took Linus and Liam out for a ride in one of our old sleds.

I finally got around to hanging Liam’s jumper (it involved drilling out rivets, a trip to the hardware store, and voided warranties).  He quite enjoys it.

Monica took this clip of Linus and Liam kicking back in their easy chairs. I think Liam was trying to make some kind of point to Linus, who seemed a bit incredulous.  He evidently expressed his position too forcefully and offended Linus.

They are wearing their matching bibs which were gifts from our great family friend Donna, who recently fell seriously ill.

Liam learned a new trick!  I thought his grandparents might like to see this video of him rolling over.  We like to celebrate the minor victories…

Liam Dancing:

He may be small, but he has some moves.

Liam Laughing:

We caught Liam making some hilarious faces while my dad was holding him in the back yard.  I guess he is trying out some new facial muscles.  He is looking more like his father every day.

The local news came by the 1890 Bryant Studios and visited the RedStart world headquarters to interview Mandy and Sara about Open Studios, which is happening in their area this weekend:
