Mr. Liam,
You have completely changed our lives forever, little man! We are completely and utterly in love with you! I am enjoying you so much because I am much more confident in my mothering abilities this time around. I don't worry as much, and I feel more free to just mother the way that I think is best. My mom friends told me when I had Kaelyn to just "listen to my mothering instincts," and I didn't always feel that I had any! Now I can just intuitively take care of you, and am much more confident about being a mom in general.
So far, you seem to be a pretty chill little dude! You are a champion eater and a wonderful sleeper. You went from 8 lbs 10 oz at birth to 9 lbs 2 oz in your first week of life. I just weighed you today on our home scale, and you are about 11 lbs already! Quite a chunkeroo! I adore your chunky little body and large kissable cheeks. You are quite plump for a newborn and I adore every oz of your little body! You are quite the stud little man... when you look up at me with your big blue eyes, you just melt this mama's heart.
You make the most adorable little noises! You love to nurse all the time... and you make the cutest little noises when I take the boob away from you. You grunt and breathe really fast and and start moving that little head of yours as much as you can looking for the boob... it's pretty cute. You are a champion eater, and pretty much want to eat all day long every day! It's okay though... because that's your job right now! Eat and grow!
Right now you are sleeping in our bed. You spend a lot of the night between us or cuddled up next to me. Your favorite place to be is cuddled up next to me hugging your warm booby pillow. Like I said, it's your favorite! You would nurse all day and all night if I let you!
So far, you are not a big fan of your pacifier! You make the funniest faces when we try to put it in. I'm not sure that you will ever accept it! That means that mama is pretty much the only one that can ever comfort you. Sometimes it's hard being the only one that can appease you, but I also love it at the same time because it gives me quite an important role in life!
You want to be held most of the time, like most newborns I think, but you also take quite a bit of time to work up to crying. You don't even cry during most diaper changes, which I think is quite unusual for a newborn! You don't however like getting dressed much... typical boy. ;-)
We are having so much fun with you and I can't wait to watch you grow! I love you so much dear, one! xoxo
Love,
Your mama
