Liam is a very happy baby and is always smiling and wanting to play, but he doesn’t laugh a lot.  He prefers to scream instead of laughing.  I know it sounds strange, and it is, but he will grin this huge open-mouth grin, and then make a high pitch scream instead of a giggle.  He is also very ticklish, so he will do this a lot when I tickle him.  I had Tom video him this morning, and luckily we got some real laughs out of him and not just happy screaming. 

He is proving to let me know his likes and dislikes now more and more as his personality is emerging.  He really likes his soft, fuzzy green blankets, his MAM pacifiers, watching lights and Disney music.  It is so funny, but if he is crying all we have to do is give him his blanket and play “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid and he calms right down.  He also likes “Under the Sea” but not quite as much.  He definitely dislikes having his face washed or wiped off, tummy-time, and being left by himself.  He is quite content to play on his playmat if he can see me in the other room, but if something is blocking his view and he feels that he is by himself then the tears come.  Silly baby!
