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 ...
