One month!

I can't believe how quickly one month has flown by. It has been a whirlwind of diaper changes, feedings, giggles, sly little smiles and sleepless nights. Liam seems to change everyday. He has been so alert lately and loves to sit straight up, hold up his head and look around. We have mostly good days, peppered in with some real doozies. He had one of those doozie days a few days ago...you know the type. Clean, dry and comfy but very upset. Those are the times when it is hardest for me, it makes me feel helpless when I don't know what to do to comfort him. Liam is growing well, at last weigh in (which was probably about 1 1/2 weeks ago) he was 9lbs 14.5 oz. One of these days I'll have to weigh him again. I made Frank buy a baby scale when we first brought Liam home since the nurse in me worried he wouldn't get enough to eat and would lose weight. His Buddha belly assures me he's doing well. I'm so excited for Christmas. I know that Liam has no clue what is going on but having him makes the season so much more meaningful to me.

Notice the poor boy's baby acne....thank goodness for picture programs with a "heal" feature!
