Liam at 8 weeks


Weight - somewhere around 6.5kgs ( haven't weight him on baby scales since his 6 week check - had to weigh him with me on normal scales!)
Length - not sure either.

He has developed a bit of baby acne, and a few spots of cradle cap on the back of his head.

At 8 weeks Liam is starting to become more of a baby and less of a newborn. He is starting to try and giggle when you tickle his cheeks, or in reaction to you talking to him.

I have noticed however that he does seem to have torticollis like his brother. I have started being vigilant with doing exercises to stretch and strengthen his neck, increased tummy time (whenever he is awake he will go on his tummy until he gets upset) and watching his head as I have noticed a slight flattening on one side. I have tried to re-position during naptimes in the day, and he still sleeps with his pillow that is supposed to prevent flathead.

He has just started sleeping from 7pmish-3am, more often than not. which is nice, I am enjoying having most of my evening back and the extra sleep! He is still such a good boy when it comes to settling back to sleep in the night, I never have a problem getting him back down.

18 months old

Our little boy is a year and a half! Time is flying by at the moment. So far, he hasn't been saying too much, but I think he has been trying to say a few things such as 'truck' and babbling in his own lanaguage. He also says 'Yeah' when we ask him something and its something he wants! He is understanding so much now though. We can ask him questions and he definitely knows what we are saying and what he wants/doesn't want!! if we ask him 'where's your tummy/nose/mouth/etc' he will find them and point. He is running everywhere, loves kicking balls around the house + outside, although when he is outside he seems to prefer to explore, try and dig with a little shovel, and play in water! He is fascinated with spinning around at the moment, I think he likes the dizzy feeling he gets!

13 months old

Today our beautiful boy is 13 months old! I can't believe how the time is flying. I think its only going to get worse! He is changing so rapidly these days, losing his baby look and becoming a little boy. He is so close to walking. This weekend he was attempting to take some hesitant steps to me or Daddy, and standing by himself for longer. He is still apprehensive though. Tooth number 5 is almost through, and tooth number 6 is on its way also. He is still sleeping great, 12 hrs most nights, and when we are at home at least a 2 hr nap. At daycare he isnt napping well though, which makes for a very tired and cranky little boy when we collect him. No real words yet apart from 'Mumma' and 'Dada', he does a lot of pointing and 'Dat' and 'Dere' especially when we are looking for birds which he loves. Hes waving, and we are currently showing him how to blow kisses. Dada has started putting him to bed occasionally, this came out of neccessity...
