Liam ~ 2 Months

Liam is 2 months old!  

~ Firsts ~ 

He noticed the mobile on his swing and play mat and loves to look at them.  He smiled for the first time on September 28th.  It was the sweetest thing and brought tears to my eyes.  I love that first smile and every one afterwards.  He squealed and cooed for the first time on October 17th.  I love all these little firsts and can't wait for more to come.  He finally started taking the pacifier.  It definitely calms him when he's upset and helps him fall asleep.  Liam had his first time decorating for Halloween and relaxed in the baby bjorn while we put up the spider web and spiders.  He started grabbing for things such as my hair.        

~ Size ~

He wears size 3 month clothes.  He weighed 11 pounds 13 ounces and has almost doubled his weight in 2 months (25-50th percentile).  He was 22.5 inches long (25-50th percentile) and his head was 15 7/8 (50-75th percentile).  

~ Looks ~

He is looking more like Grayson, but definitely looks more like me and Grayson looks more like Craig.  He has more hair than Grayson did at this time and its a lot darker.  We were hoping for dimples like mommy, daddy and Grayson and it looks like he does.  We weren't able to tell at first, but now that he is smiling we see two adorable dimples.  

~ Schedule ~

He wakes up around 7am and normally eats at 7:30/8am, 10am, 12 or 1pm, 3pm, 5pm 7pm and 9:30pm.  He sleeps on and off between feedings and gets up around 3am and 6am to nurse.  He does a good job at night and has his most fussy period around 5-7pm.  I think most of the time he's tired and can't yet put himself to sleep.    

~ Personality ~

He has such a sweet disposition and is a little more laid back than Grayson was at this age.  He loves to snuggle with us.  We think he will be a good cuddler.
