Liam is now over 1 month old! Above is an example of what we call his "crank face." There are times we get a little stressed out but usually we can tell what he wants. We love our little crank face. Tonight Matt repeated one of Liam's small cry coo to Liam and Liam stopped crying and pushed his eyebrows down and glared at Matt. I bet Liam didn't like being mocked. ;)
Some days I can set Liam down and grab some food or use the bathroom. Usually though if he is awake he has to be held by someone, which makes it hard to get stuff done. Working on it though, I try to put him in his swing, bouncy chair, and crib a few times a day to get him used to it.
Liam and I spent last week in Portland to spend more time with family while Matt went to Tri Cities to work. We had a blast at Nana's place (Matt's mom) and then a couple days at grandma & grandpa's house (my mom and dave). Car rides have so far been easy with Liam. He usually just sleeps the entire drive.
Liam loves to sleep on his stomach on Matts or me. I still am sleeping in the living room at night while Matt sleeps in bedroom. We tried to get Liam to sleep in the bassinet in our room but he hates it and wakes up many times in night. Then Matt doesn't get enough sleep for work and we all turn into "crank faces." So until Liam can sleep a 5hours straight we will keep with the living room routine. Liam also snores really really loud! He's soo cuddly though, I don't mind.
Liam is starting to make new faces. Its really exciting. I can shake a rattle toy in his face and he will smile really big repeatedly. He also is lifting his head and keeping it up while he is over our shoulder. Yesterday while I tried to get him to play in his bouncy chair I heard him say "goo goo." I melted right there. It was sooooo cute.
What's up with his right ear?? It looks like an elf ear! Neither Matt or I have an ear like this. I guess its an Irish ear from Matt's side.
Yesterday Matt was holding Liam, who was very alert, and Matt's hand started to hurt so he held it up and closed it slowly. Matt noticed that Liam was looking directly at Matt's hand and Matt noticed Liam's hand opening and closing too! Matt continued this for 2 minutes, while Liam starred and copied Matt's open and close hand. Matt tried this today and Liam did it again! What a smart baby.
We will be back in Portland for the week between Christmas and New Years.
Hope everyone is doing fabulous and gearing up for Christmas!!
