Lots of pictures and we have even more, but isn't that what you want to see anyway????

Liam was two months old on Saturday. He has had quite a month. He is focusing on us and the things around him a lot more, smiling all the time, and cooing like crazy. We love it. It is so fun to make him smile and to know that he now knows his Mom and Dad. Liam is getting his hair back on the top of his head and no longer looks like an old balding man. He is getting stronger and stronger. His head is pretty steady and he likes to "stand" at times too. He also finally noticed his big brother, Duncan. He now follows him and other objects as they move past him sometimes. He loves to look at himself in the mirror above him on his play mat and in his bouncy seat. He will talk and smile at himself for a long time. Liam is trying to get his fist in his mouth or even his thumb but is rarely successful unless he is on his stomach where the floor helps hold it in place. Tonight he started sucking his upper lip on one side, which looked pretty funny. The most common question...how long is he sleeping??? Well, he has had some nights where he has slept 5-6 hours but mostly, he is getting up every 3-4 hours still. He goes right back to sleep after I feed him so at this point, I guess that is all I can ask for. I really can't imagine sleeping straight through the night again. It will be very nice!

Yesterday was Liam's two month doctor's appointment. He weighed 13 pounds 2 ounces and was 24 and 1/2 inches long. This put him in the 78th percentile for his weight and 90th percentile for height. His head still is only in the 23rd percentile. We knew he had grown! Liam got his vaccines, which he did as well as to be expected. He is back to himself today but was not feeling so hot last night. He will go back again at 4 months.

Blake and I are doing great. We have seen so many friends and are very thankful for such great people around us. Liam has done well going out and about. He mostly sleeps, but sometimes is social. Today would have been my first day back at work and I can honestly say, I wouldn't trade my new job for anything.
