The Nursery

I dont think I ever posted the final nursery pics ... so here they are:

Sleeping Habits

As of last Friday night, Liam started sleeping in his crib! He had been sleeping in a bassinet in our room but we decided to try to start putting him in his own room. It has definately been bitter-sweet. I like that he is in his own room because now I dont feel like I have to be so quiet in my own room but I dont like it because I feel like my baby is growing too quickly! We usually put him down somewhere between 7-8pm and he will sleep his first shift anywhere from 5-7 hours. He goes to bed by himself so well! He doesnt even cry. It is almost like he is glad to be alone in his bed to relax :). The second shift is usally around 3-4 hours. So, that gets us to about 5-6am. It is still dark out and I know he is still tired (because he can barely keep his eyes open) but he is very fussy until he is in bed with mommy and daddy ... so he starts out here:

 

But at about 5am, he winds up here:

Then, our day usually starts about 7am!

6 Week Check Up

I can't believe my baby is already 6 weeks old! Where does the time go? I have been meaning to update my blog but when he is napping I usually want to clean the house, run some errands, do the laundry, eat, or just sleep. But at least I am doing it now, right? We saw the doctor this morning and my little Liam is doing great!

Here are some highlights of what has been going on with him:
- As of this morning, he weighs 11lbs 5.3oz (62%ile for weight).
- He has gotten a bad case of the baby acne but the doctor said it is normal and should clear up within the next couple weeks. 
- He is losing some of his hair (mostly the hair on top of his head ... so my little man looks like he is balding) :)
- He officially smiled at me on Sunday morning! I mean, he has been smiling in his sleep since we brought him home from the hospital ... but while he was on his changing table, after I put his new diaper on, he looked up and me and gave me a huge toothless grin! It was so precious.
- He is definately a morning person (like his daddy). He is so alert and happy after a good nights sleep.
- He is usually pretty cranky around dinner time
- He LOVES bath time. Usually we take him upstairs around 730pm and as soon as he hears the bath water run, he stops fussing and gets really excited.
- We put him to bed around 8pm and he will sleep his first shift anywhere from 5-7 hours. The second shift is usally around 3-4 hours. Then, we are up for the day!
- During the day, he will eat about every 2-2.5 hours.
- He really likes being on his belly, so tummy time is always fun :)

Here are some pictures of the last 6 weeks ...
