Liam: 1 Month

Our baby boy is one month old!  It is hard to believe that one month has already come and gone.  Liam has had a pretty easy first month of life which means that Bryan and I have too.  He has taken to breastfeeding like a champ and will drink out of a bottle without any hesitation when Bryan wants to feed him with pumped milk.  Within his first week of life he had already started to roll over on his side and just recently he rolled from his side to his belly.  This week he started to smile,  hopefully we'll be able to get some good photos of his cute little smile soon!  Also, he seems to like Adele, when her songs come on he relaxes and passes out.
Since he was a bigger baby, over 9 pounds at birth, he did not fit into any newborn clothes or newborn diapers.  So, he wears 0-3 and 3 month clothing and size 1 diapers.  Liam loves bath time mainly because he likes to be naked and then get massages, he is a male after all.
Grandma Berkley and I took some measurements of him to see how much he has grown and from our unofficial measurements he is now 11 pounds, 23 1/4 inches long, and his head circumference is around 15 inches long. We will see how accurate those measurements are next week at our doctors appointment.  And, the best news for last is that he is becoming a great sleeper at night, usually waking up to eat at 10:00pm, 2:00am, and 5:30/6:00am and then falling back to sleep until 9:00 or 10:00.

Liam went to his first wedding on May 19th to celebrate Julia and Mitch's marriage.  He was fantastic and slept through the entire ceremony and reception only waking up once to eat and for a diaper change.

  1. Angie, how is feeding going? If you ever need anything -- any questions or whatever, feel free to email. Liam sure is a cutie and I sure hope he keeps up his good sleep pattern!
