One Month Old

Wow! Time flies......quickly!

Liam is one month old now. We don't go back to the doctor until he is 2 months, but it is safe to say he is growing! At 10 days old he was back to his birth weight, and his jaundice went away quite quickly. He is a much better eater than his sister and I am terrified to try a bottle with him! I am scared he's going to learn how much easier a bottle is than breast feeding and prefer the bottle like his sister did. He feeds quite often - his days mainly consist of eating and sleeping with 30-40 minutes of awake time every once in a while. He is a VERY noisy sleeper - lots of squeaks, grunts, and cries while he sleeps. He is maybe not the best sleeper (especially compared to Callie) - I tend to get a 4 hour stretch in the middle of the night and then he is ready to eat every 2 - 3 hours (I am a bit tired these days). It is very safe to say that he HATES getting his diaper changed, not my favorite time of the day either! :-) He is very strong and, although, tummy time is not his favorite, he's neck is getting stronger and stronger every day! Liam LOVES his big sister! He recognizes her voice and will track her whenever she is nearby.
Overall, our family of 4 has adjusted to this new life. We could not be any happier or more blessed! Liam is a dream and his sister absolutely loves him! (Although she asks me quite often whether or not Liam is still boring). I can't wait for her to be able to see his first smile and see them running off playing together!
Sleeping soundly

His eyes have officially turned blue like his sister

A little bit of tummy time practice

I can't imagine him being anything but a Husky - we have enough husky hand me downs for him to wear one everyday!

Hanging with big sister

Liam, by far, prefers to sleep on his side. We always put him down on his back but he promptly rolls to his side - makes me a bit nervous but if that is what he likes, who am I to stop him!

We have been blessed with some (not many) spring like days. As a family, we have taken advantage of them and headed to the local park. 


Getting ready to feed the ducks

Pure happiness!

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
