Three Week Check-Up

Today we had our three week check-up with Dr. Simpson. Liam now weighs 8 lbs 5 oz and is 21.2 inches long. He's around the 45% percentile for his weight and about the 70% percentile for his height. He's growing like a weed!

Our next goal is to phase out the 2 a.m. feeding. Wish us luck!

Off to nap.....

Trip to Bastrop

Yesterday we returned from our trip to Bastrop. We had so much fun! Liam got to meet Coo Coo along with several of our Bastrop friends. He got a bunch of adorable presents, and he was definitely spoiled by his Emmy and Coo Coo! I think he misses them :( But don't worry, Liam, we will be back soon!

Today we tried out our new swing for the first time. Liam loves it! He is sleeping/swinging right now.

Tomorrow we have our first well baby appointment. I will update with our numbers.

Adventures Outside!

I have found that Liam loves his carseat (praise Jesus). He is definitely a baby that is put to sleep by car rides. We've also found that he loves going on walks in his stroller. So when we want to get him to sleep without driving around, we go for a walk. He are some pics of our adventures outside.




On a side note, I think his hair is turning red.

So Far.......

We are approaching Liam's two week birthday, and there are definitely a couple of things I have learned so far about being a mom. Here are the top 6 so far:

1. It is impossible not to get Destin EVERYWHERE.

2. Video monitors and the ultimate crib sheet are gifts from God.

3. I can't stand having my baby cry.

4. I wake up in the middle of the night at the exact time he starts crying without even having the monitor on or hearing him.

5. Don't plan on 1 onesie a day. Make it about 3 at a minimum.

6. Getting everyone out of the house (and looking decent) takes at least 2 hours.

Here are some pics of my boys.

Enjoy!

Happy One Week, Liam!

Tuesday was Liam's one week birthday! It's gone by so fast, and he's already growing and changing so much. He is officially jaundice-free. No more glow worm for us! We went back to the pediatrician yesterday, and he now weighs 7 lbs and 3 oz from his original birthweight of 6 lbs 13 oz. He is more alert this week and is staying awake in between feedings for longer periods of time. I read him a book last night during "tummy time," and he really tried to focus on the pictures. We have also been propping him up on his boppy to help him strengthen his neck. Otherwise, he is just a sweet baby boy.

I've posted some pictures from this week. More to follow!

William ("Liam") Dow Sport, Jr.

LIAM HAS ARRIVED!!!

After 12 hours of labor and a "failing to progress" cervix, Liam Sport arrived via c-section on July 21, 2009, at 6:11 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19.5 inches in length. He was smaller than expected, but he is a strong and healthy baby. He eats like a champ, sleeps like a champ, and poops like a champ! Dow and I are both enjoying being the parents of this sweet little baby boy.

More to come!!

TUESDAY!
