Farewell 2009

What a year it's been. Looking forward to all the adventures that lie ahead in 2010.

Tummy Time!

Liam doesn't like scheduled tummy time - he spends most of the time grunting and wincing, but he has managed to hold his head up and even flip himself over (while this was likely a random occurence, we like to think he is an overachiever).

Liam is 3 weeks!

Cannot believe Liam has already turned 3 weeks. He is thriving... eating, sleeping, and putting on weight. He's not on a schedule yet, we are "feeding on demand", and Liam is very demanding... seems to be going through a non-stop growth spurt. He's also decided recently that he doesn't like sleeping in his crib - much preferable is sleeping in mom's arm, sleeping while nursing, and sleeping while changing (although that doesn't stop him from pooping while sleeping while changing). Other than those activities, we spend our days moving between bouncy seat, tummy time, and baby bjorn.

More shots from Liam's birthday

For dad's entertainment, we captured our first and last belly shot in the hospital just before prepping for surgery...
And a few shots from Liam's birthday... just after planned c-section. Everything went well except mom wasn't too happy about the resident attempting the spinal block 5 times before getting it right, ouch! Liam noisily entered the world, and kept up the vocals in the surgical suite for everyone's entertainment.
