This has been an awfully big week for little Liam. He was born, he went on his first outing on a beautiful day, and he got his first bath with Mom and Dad. On Tuesday he had his first visit to his pediatrician, that went well overall but we found out that the reason he had been a bit fussy is he was latching incorrectly when breastfeeding, so he wasn't eating enough, which then made him too tired to try to eat correctly and so he was a very sad little baby for a day. But we went back yesterday and he had gained 4oz overnight and he is eating much better after getting some help from the doctor and lactation consultant.
Since he has been eating better, he is SUCH a good baby! He gets fussy when you change his diaper, and that is about it. He likes to sleep in his swing, and he likes to "sit up" and look around in his bouncer. He was even watching TV (even though his vision is so undeveloped right now, he probably just liked the light and the colors)! He also seems to not have his days and nights mixed up, lucky lucky us! He was awake a good portion of yesterday afternoon and he slept from 1:00 am till 6:30 am last night! He is making our lives very easy, he is just so well behaved! When he is awake he just looks around and likes to listen to people talk, and when he is sleeping he makes sweet and funny little faces; he even (reflexively) smiles and it is absolutely adorable! I can't wait for his big smiles! He was even pretty well behaved for his first bath! Although it was only a sponge bath, so this could change when he actually gets in the bathtub, he just fussed a little, no screaming, and he got nice and clean and ready for bed. He is doing so well so far we hope his good behavior keeps up!
