One Month



So yesterday Liam turned 1 month old! It has honestly been the best month of our lives. He is a fantastic baby! Our sleep of coarse is limited- generally he sleeps in about two and a half hour stretches... And I will admit that I have broken down in tears a few times when sleep is low and he is cryimg in the middle of the night but even then I would not give those moments up! As far as his development- well they are things that one month ago I would have never appreciated but now they are my highlights! He is lifting his head (his neck is remarkably strong), seems to know Jonathan and I's voice, will stick out his tongue if you stick yours out (silly but amazing to have him mimic us), is enjoing Jonathan's games (such as bouncing baby and flying baby), and miraculously is starting to enjoy his swing (only in small increments but that is a major step in being able to set him down). He is still sleeping on Jonathan and I and as I hinted does not like to be set down much! Jonathan and him together are amazing- watching them play at tummy time makes my heart melt! Oh yeah- as of Monday (around 3 weeks old) Liam weighed 8 pounds 13 ounces.

In other news Jonathan & I celebrated our three year anniversary- we went out to dinner (Grandma & Grandpa Ordway babysat). Liam has also been to his first UGA football party (although UGA did not look so good), met my coworkers and numerous friends and family (by the way thank you to everyone who has stopped by- we love seeing you all), . It is amazing how our days seem to fly by- I cannot explain it- but some how playing with a baby makes 5 o'clock arrive before you even have your teeth brushed!


P.S. It is going fabulous with the dogs!
