We decided to start this blog to keep family and friends updated on our new life adventure. Julie and I extended our family to include a beautiful little boy, Liam Tyler, born February 18, 2010. He weighed 8 lbs 5 oz and was 22 inches in length.
Yesterday Julie took Liam to the doctor for his one month visit. His weight has jumped to 10 lbs 9 oz. If you could see how much he enjoys eating, you would not be surprised by the increase in weight. While there, he had to get a shot. Julie said he screamed as if his arms were being pulled off. What made him cry so hard? One might assume it was the needle. Nope. It was the alcohol wipe they used to clean the area for the shot. He apparently thought it was quite cold.
It is incredible how much he has already changed in just a few weeks. He looked like a completely different baby at two-weeks-old compared to when he was born, and he has changed even more since. Here is a picture from the exact minute (2:39 pm) he turned one-month-old. Yeah, we are those parents.
We feel like we have truly been blessed with a gift from God. He has been a joy to have around the house. The second you get tired of hearing him cry, he makes a little sound and wrinkles his little forehead, which makes you laugh out loud and forget why you were bothered at all. It is just impossible not to love this little guy.
I am very thankful for the family that God has given me. I have always known that God gave me the most perfect companion in Julie, and now he has brought me a perfect son. I'm a very lucky man.
Can't wait to meet the little one ... and for him to meet his cousin :)
ReplyDeleteLiam is too cute! He's going to get some major spoiling from his Aunt...make that Great Aunt (yikes!) Susan. You make a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your pictures and hearing all about his adventures in the park. Liam will love hearing about it too one day...maybe when he has a girlfriend over. You can tell her all about it! :) Love you guys...Susan
