1 month old

What a month this has been! Liam is one month old today, and it has gone by so fast and pretty smoothly. We have been blessed with a very happy and content little boy. I was watching some Baby Story shows on TLC the other day and it made me realize how lucky we are to have a baby that only cries when he is hungry or wet!! I never thought I would be grateful for 3-4 hour sleep intervals, but after watching a show where the baby cried for 7 hours....I thought to myself...wow Liam is the BEST baby ever, but we already knew that!
We have been enjoying watching him grow and become more aware of his surroundings everyday. He has recently discovered the dogs and loves to watch them, and Truman (our beagle mix) likes to stare back at him....it looks like they are having a little staring contest! Liam is really starting to track objects. He especially loves his Baby Einstein play mat, and all of the toys he can look at. He also can really lift up his head during "tummy time" and hold it up for a long time...he has a strong neck. He likes to lay on his daddy's chest and look up at his fuzzy beard! Sometimes Liam even gives it a tug too! OUCH!
It has been nice spending all of this time everyday getting to know Liam and his personality...which by the way is definitely like his dad's....laid back and mellow. I love the special times that I get to spend feeding him. The bonding we have when he looks up at me while eating and gazes at my face is unexplainable. I love when he looks completely satisfied. It makes my heart melt...and I fall in love with him more each time I look at his face!
Okay, enough of the emotional mommy...
My parents came down for a few days and spent time spoiling Liam...and mommy and daddy too! My mom cooked up a LOT of food and froze it, so Cory would actually get dinner when he came home from work! HAHA Thanks MOM!
We have enjoyed this past month immensely and we are so excited for the months to come. Watching him grow and learn new things will be so special and exciting. We will keep you all posted!
Oh, and we will be back in the St Joe area the weekend of October 18th! So, hopefully we can see some of you!

It's so great that Liam is such a good baby! Aidan on the other hand is a little fussy. :) But it just gets better as he gets older :)

haha, I just saw you left a comment on my blog! :)
Thank you! Aidan does love the camera! I'm convinced he knows what it is now! We use the webcam a lot so he even recognizes computer now - so scary!
I can't wait for Christmas - I'm assuming we'll see each other! Aidan is going to be 7 months then, I can't believe it goes so fast! I told him the other day that he could learn how to walk and talk but he had to stay this little so I could cuddle with him :)
