I'm 4 Weeks Old Today!

What a big little guy I have!  He's grown so much in just 4 short weeks.  I can't believe how quickly time flew by.  I have to say that I LOVE my pediatrician.  We took Liam to get weighed and he's up to 7lbs 7oz!  He's gained 22 oz in 11 days.  But he's been eating around the clock and driving us batties.  He was up every hour to two hours during the day and at night.  No one was getting any sleep!  So when we went to the pediatrcian, I jokingly asked if I could add some rice cereal to the formula, and he said YES!  He admitted he was "old school" and that most doctors wouldn't recommend it, but that a little bit at night is fine.  And Liam's been sleeping so well since then!  And when he's awake he's a lot more alert too!  Woohoo!

On another note, Coby has been an amazing big brother.  He reads to Liam every night, and holds and cuddles him.  I'm so proud of him for stepping up and helping!  After such a long time of being an only child, he got over his jealousy pretty quickly!  WTG big bro!!!

Coby's Corner!!!

Hey all u people. It's Coby with an up to date thang on Liam. Basically, i am lovin' it. Anyway, I am so ready for the time he first talks, walks, and who knows what i can think of. He is purrfect 4 mi. This is yur showt owt 2 u Liam!

Oy!

Dearest Liam:

Please please share your secret with us! Why do you stay calm and happy during the day and then get fussy at night? We know it's not colic, because you don't cry non stop at night. It can't be the formula because why would it be ok during the day but not at night? According to what everyone says you're too young to be "manipulative" and cry just because you want to be held. But we hold you and rock you and just beg for sleep! Please enlighten us my darling child, or both your daddy and I will end up in an insane asylum.

Love you to pieces,

Mommy and Daddy.

He's HERE!!!

Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we could have another child. Coby, our oldest, was going to be our one and only after trying for a second baby for seven years with no success. Then, randomly and totally out of the blue, I "got a feeling." I took a pregnancy test, and the double pink line changed our lives forever! On July 1st, 2010, Liam made an appearance. At only 5lbs 11oz he was tiny, but perfect in every way. He looks just like his big brother! Liam's a great baby, but has his days and nights mixed up. So right now, we need sleep! Badly. But we're so happy he's here! Our family is now complete.
