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!
Rock climbing with papa
