Smiles

OK we have real smiles. They started on fathers day and they are soooo cute! He seems to smile when he first wakes up which is great. Keiran would scream and be so sad for at least 30 min after he woke up, I am looking forward to happy rising. Last night Shelly came from Montreal with little Layla. They had a sleepover in Makayla's room. Layla is such a sweet happy baby. Shelly is a great mom I love watching my friends becoming mama's they are all so great at it!

I had a lot of breast milk left in my freezer from pumping while Liam was in the hospital. I wasn't sure what I would do with it since I don't give bottles very much, if at all. I met someone who had a friend with twins who needed breast milk. So Rainbow, yes her name was Rainbow, came and got my 60 oz of breast milk. Now I have my freezer space back and I don't need to be reminded of moo cow every time I pull out the chicken.( moo cow is what the kids said when they saw me pumping )

I am busy here packing for Galiano. I have to pack 4 people for a month on the island. I am trying to take it one step at a time. I also have to do a huge superstore shop with all 3 kids Friday morning. Wish me luck!

my little chunker

Liam is 9lbs 9 oz today. It is amazing because he really only eats for 5 min every 2 hours or so. He rolled again today twice and on a harder surface. It is a little crazy since they are not suppose to do this until 3 or 4 months. I got a smile but only 1. I think I have another physical man in my life.

I went back to the nurse lead baby group today. I want to get in on the up and coming baby generation. This way when I am in the park I don't feel like an intruder I might recognize a face or two. There seemed to be some nice looking (not mean and inbred) moms that I might be able to befriend, as long as they don't see how mean I am to my bigger kids :) Today there was 5 babies all born within days of Liam.. all girls and bigger than him!!! Its funny when they find out I have 3 including an 8 year old their jaws drop I guess I look kind of young. I will continue to go again after the summer I might even be able to make some coffee dates.

Rolling

Liam is 2months 6 days/ 9.5 weeks or 3.5 weeks adjusted and this morning he rolled from front to back 4 times! Right after he barfed in Scott's face, they were cuddling in bed. Crap I should have gotten a picture of that, it would have been funny. Now Scott will probably feel compassion for me when I call him in from the other room to help when I get barfed on. It is scary when a 8 pound baby barfs piles and piles of breast milk all over you, it makes me jump every time.

Smiles

I think I started my morning with Liams first social smiles. I can not guarantee it as he hasn't blessed me with more yet. He was on my lap awake looking into my eyes and he gave me one open mouth half smile then again a moment later.... I melted!

He has dimples in his knees and elbows, I love little babies especially my own.

Pictures

Two things that are interesting about my little Liam. He often hold the soother while it is in his mouth and has done so since he was only days old. He seems to be very coordinated with his hands we will see. He also smiles a lot in his sleep, and I mean a lot. A few days ago the neighbor gave us a live crab, Scott was in heaven. He has wanted to buy crab for while but I won't spend the big bucks. Truthfully I found the whole thing a little gross it was hard to enjoy the final product after seeing the crab alive then boiled in water. Scott got to eat most of it because the kids would eat it either. May be next year we will get him a crab trap for his birthday... or may be fathers day hmmmmmm.

2 girls 1 boy just like I wanted!

Finally a post about my other kids not just Liam. Since last night Keiran has taken to dressing in girl clothes. He loves Makayla's pink nighty which he has been wearing all afternoon. I think he likes the cool breeze on these hot days as he is also not wearing underwear with it. But he still is acting very boyish with quick ninja kicks showing us his male parts. I think Scott finally convinced him to add the underwear to the outfit. He picked a pair of Makayla's that are blue, which he proudly pointed out to me. He has also changed his name to Anika.... hmmm how long will this last?
