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.

Project 365 Week 3 Days 15-21

Project 365 Week 3.  Lining up his cars. He says 'Ar ok, tuck?' (Are you ok truck) when one moves out of line. Jan 15 Cleaning the house for photos as it has gone on the market. We don't really want to have to move after only moving in a month ago. :( Jan 16 Holding the bottle himself. He seems to have been preferring the bottle more than me at the moment. Jan 17 Already throwing the ball for Tessie. Jan 18 Slept 13 hours straight last night! First time for months that he has done that. Jan 19 Not part of project 365 but this was Cadell at the park, he had a great time! Jan 19 Happy 7 months to Liam! Standing by himself clever boy. Jan 20 37 degrees today so he came in a bit sweaty after his morning play! Jan 21

Bethan at 3 weeks old

She did a 7 hr stretch last night! She has been going to bed around 8-9pm and doing 6 hrs until 2 am and then going back down from 3 - 6 am but last night she slept from 8-3am then back down from 4-7am. It was lovely to have that much sleep. She's doing so well, she was 4.3kg at 2 weeks 2 days which is about 700grams up from her birth weight. She's in a bit of a routine during the day too, ive been trying to get her to have a little sleep in the morning, but the a bigger 2 +hr sleep at lunchtime, and then she will just do a few little naps before bedtime.  In the next few weeks I will work on getting her bed time down to 7pm and then 6pm. She also started cooing properly at 3 weeks 2 days and has been smiling since day 4.
