Hi all,
My apologies for not posting for the past almost 6 weeks! It's been...ahem...a BIT busy! :) We've had a wonderful, exhausting, adventurous, love-filled stretch of time since the last posting. Of course, as you know, little Liam has graced our lives, bringing a lot of laughter and joy! He is an amazing little being--so sweet and cute and good. We are definitely a lucky family to have him as our own little son.
Liam has changed--he changes every day!--from a little newborn to a full-fledged baby! He's eating well and putting on the pounds; he's sleeping very well (he can sleep anywhere at anytime--he's a champ!); and he's interacting more. In the past 2 weeks, we've seen a great leap in the way he interacts and he even plays for up to 30 minutes with his toys, batting at them and watching them shake and swing and then batting at them again. I swear he knows what he's doing... He coos and smiles more now, too--and it's not just gas! It's definitely social smiles. :) He has been laughing for the past 4 weeks in his sleep, (that's hilarious, by the way) but we have yet to hear the music of his laughter in a social setting.
We have been out and about a lot, going to a mommy and baby movie, having playdates with other mom/babies, attending surviving motherhood groups (where I feel guilty for not having any problems to discuss--ha!) and going for walks and going shopping.
We have had visitors--mom and dad, Dave and Trudy both stayed over for stretches of time to help out and hang out. That was wonderful. And we've had a variety of friends stop by and pay us a little visit, too.
So, things are going well. I'm definitely busier than ever and my time is more spent on feeding and entertaining and hanging out with my favourite little man. My favourite BIG man (AKA Scott) is also in heaven with our little Liam. They are a great pair, my two favourite guys!
Well, hope all is well! We welcome any emails, etc. but please be patient in when we can respond! :) But we will, eventually.
I hear the rumblings of a little hungry tummy. Best be off!
love,
Becky
