Singing, Dancing, Fountains, and Pigeons

Yeah, so judging by the title of this post you wouldn't think that these things have a lot in common.  Well once you realize that it is me, Zeke here, writing this entry, you will soon realize that your first instinct was correct and there really isn't any common denominator in this random assortment of bad writing and poorly planned collection of pictures and videos.  I guess what really ties this together (like the Dude's rug in The Big Lebowski) is the fact that Liam does some funny shit so I chose to highlight that here.  Oh, if you have not seen The Big Lebowski then shame on you.  It is a fine documentary worthy of 117 minutes of your attention. I've hyperlinked it twice now, so seriously, you need to watch it; it's kind of like a prerequisite for this blog.  Ok, pretty soon Jess is going to walk in here and change the password on this blog because I've compromised the integrity of its content so I'll hurry up and publish this post.  Back to my original thought - yes, there is not a lot of commonality in the title; however, everyone likes seeing and hearing about Liam so this is focused on his antics and the things that I usually sit back and laugh at while filming.
...A few videos first.

For a while we had a repertoire of bedtime and bath time songs that lasted for about a month before he decided that he is too cool for singing, rocking, hugs, and even night lights now.  He now just prefers to check his email and send his east coast broker some final guidance before checking himself into bed and cashing out for the night.  We managed to capture 2 out of 3 of Liam's chart-toppers on video/audio so here they are below -- "The E-A-G-L-E-S Fight Song" and...


 ...The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.


The next video leads into the only semblance of a theme, which is Liam dancing, which leads into the comedy behind some of the pictures posted.  He is a huge So You Think You Can Dance fan and showcases his moves regularly when the TV is on or when Mommy is working out via Jillian Michaels on YouTube or Tony Horton's obnoxiousness on P90X.


To cover the last 2 topics of the title post, I picked out a bunch of pics from our trips around here.  When he's not burning off his excess energy with Jillian Michaels or Tony Horton, he chases pigeons.  He also has a thing for fountains and drains.  It's kind of weird, but I know I have plenty of OCD-like traits and idiosyncrasies so I figure he just needs to explore.  If you go back through previous posts and picture albums you might notice him in a lot of pictures staring into the ends of drain pipes.  No matter where it is or how disgusting, if he passes any kind of pipe, tube, drain, sewer grate, or intriguing dark hole, he will undoubtedly stop to take a glance up it.  This video below is from Piazza San Pietro, or the famous St. Peter's Square outside the amazing basilica; a dichotomy of 2 worlds and literally 2 countries.  While we waited in line to enter the basilica, Liam wreaked havoc on the flying rats of Italy / Vatican City.


The rest of the pictures are posted at the normal spot at Shutterfly.  These are not the extent of our Florence and Rome pics; I felt that Liam needed some spotlighted attention here before the baby is born.  Enjoy.  Ciao!
