My Little Boy,

Time's a tickin' and it has definitely been fun seeing you grow.

You love to coo. I think to try and compete with your sister. And boy, you have a ways to go because she has some pipes!!

You love to smile...especially at your sister! I can tell she feels very happy when you smile at her because she gets shy when she knows you are (really) looking at her.

You follow Emmy, daddy and me around the room...but you don't like to look at toys much. Not even those black and white patterned pictures that people say make kids smarter-that stuff just doesn't seem to interest you. (We'll have to see what that means later in life, lol!)

Everyone who sees you comments on your size and that you are getting those cutie pie rolls in your arms and legs...I have to agree, it is adorable. :) You get weighed at the doctor's this week (along with those nasty immunizations) so I am going to guess you are 16.5 lbs. Your sister always fit into clothes "designated" for her actual age...you? Not so much. You are already into 3-6 month and some 6 month! And your head?!?! I'm not gonna even go there, it's a good size noggin'. I've gotta get some winter hats purchased because your hair sure isn't going to do much for that melon of yours. :)

Daycare starts for you this month, but you also get to spend some time with your Oma as she has agreed to watch you a couple days a week as well. We'll have to see how that transition goes-changes always take time...

You've gotten to spend the last two weeks with your daddy at home. You didn't sleep much because for some reason you decided you wanted to smile at daddy for one whole day, then fuss the whole next day!! We're still recovering...We think it is because you miss your momma since that is the first time we had offered bottles and you were away from me for 8 full hours.

I think you really, REALLY want to sit up and watch everything from a more upright position. Since birth you have had a really strong neck so probably by the end of next month or so you will be able to use the Bumbo...that was one of Emmy's favorite toys back when she was a baby. Now that she is losing all her baby fat she fits in it again!

You've been so sweet to have around Liam and we are all so happy you are here with us. We are so excited to see you grow and really start interacting with all of us. Daddy and I especially want to see you and Emmy together. I know that means arguments too, but it will be so fun!

We love you little Liam.

Love,

Your Momma
