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.

Things Cadell says

I want to remember the way Cadell says things at this age, I guess the best way is to video but I haven't been getting to do that as much so I thought I'd write them down. His favorite thing at the moment is Helicopters, considering the rescue choppers fly overhead here 3+ times a day it's not surprising. The way he says it is " E - tot - ta".

Today

I wish it didn't feel so difficult to update this regularly.  I feel like  I have missed all these opportunities to record little things that I will want to remember when I am older. I have to say though it is much easier and quicker to type than to write with pen and paper, I guess thats cos Im a lefty. Liam has done a few nights in a row now of sleeping 12-13 hours straight, he goes back and forth with the sleeping but hoping this is it and he has finally settled into a routine. Cadell is talking so much more these days, will attempt almost any word and comes out with things that we think 'where did he get that from?' They have very good listening despite me feeling as though he never listens to me especially when i say No!! Liam is waking up now from his nap. Here are a few photos
