Saturday Morning Sun

Liam is 11 weeks old today! He's getting to be such the big boy. I estimate he weighs a little over 13 pounds now. He's "talking" a lot (which is so amazingly cute!). I love having conversations with him. I read books to him every day, and now he's gotten to where he will listen and even look at the pictures in the book. His favorites are "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and "Little Blue Truck." I think I've got those memorized. I read the same 6 books over and over. I need more books! With big, colorful pictures!

Anyway, he's so much fun these days. His favorite "word" to say is "agoo." He loves smiling at his mama and daddy. I get paid in grins now! He loves playing on his mat and to always be moving. If he's awake, he's moving at least one part of his body.





He's still a really good sleeper at night. He goes to bed between 8 and 9 every night and will usually sleep a 7-8 hour stretch, although occasionally it will only be 5 or 6. But he always goes right back to sleep after I feed him. We moved his crib into our room today (boy was that an ordeal!), and he's sleeping soundly in it right now. I want to get him used to his crib, and we both still like having him close by in our room. We will transition him (and the crib) to his room in a month or so or whenever we feel ready to do so. So while he sleeps well at night, sleeping during the day is hit or miss. For a few weeks there, I could lay him down when he was sleepy but not asleep and he'd go to sleep on his own. That is no longer the case. He barely sleeps during the day, and he only wants to sleep in my arms. I know it's just a phase, and he actually took a really long nap in his swing today. As frustrating as it can be to not be able to get anything done since he's asleep on me, I know he's still super young and he will only be this young once...therefore I should hold him while I can because a day will come when he won't want to be held anymore.

This morning, we spent a little bit of time with Liam on our balcony and got some cute pictures of little man. It's still pretty hard to catch him grinning on camera, though. He's in his diaper because at 9:00 am it was already over 90 degrees. I'm tired of this Texas heat! Enjoy the pictures!
