Liam talking to his Poppa

I love that Liam is already cooing.  It sounds so awesome, and he's a lot more cooperative about letting me catch it on video than Robin ever was.  I'm actually wondering if he'll be more vocal/speak sooner than Robin.  I'm already hearing things that sound like "hi" and "hello" in his cooing, and today I thought I heard a "yeah."  Yes, I know he can't possibly be talking yet, but if he's already successfully mimicking some of the sounds he hears, that bodes well for language development.  Or it could just be doting Mommy talking.

Anyway, enjoy!

Some movies

Here are a few videos of Robin and Liam I've taken recently.

This first is of Dean helping Liam chase Robin through the backyard.

This is of Robin holding Liam.  Unfortunately, Liam wasn't very happy at this time, but Robin announced that he wanted to hold the baby, so it was the best time for Robin.

Enjoy!

Some more pics of Liam's first month

Liam's first "walk"

 Out in the yard

 Small enough to fit on an arm

Awww

Four generations on the Rhoadarmer side

I set Liam out in the early evening sun to try to help with his jaundice, and I thought he looked like an Anne Geddes baby here.

 Right before Liam's first sponge bath.  He looks so trusting.

Quite the cutie.  He's already filled out quite a bit more than this

 My Aunt Catherine made Robin a bear, Zax, while I was pregnant with him.  She also just sent us Kal, the bear she made Liam.

Robin wanted to get in the crib with Liam

Dean with his Father's Day gifts

 Snuggled up in bed

He's very snugglesome

Liam's first tub bath with his brother

Dada giving a bottle.  It was interesting the first time because he had no idea what to do with this strange thing Dean was putting in his mouth, and then suddenly he figured it out and seemed surprised that Dada could offer him food, too.

Happy 1st Birth Month Liam!

Liam is already a month old.  Where has the time gone?  Here are some pictures of him from today.

 Sleeping beauty

Chillin'

Relaxed

He's got a very strong neck.  It doesn't stay this high for long, but he's definitely got a lot of head control for one month.

About a week ago he started losing his hair on top of his head.  I wonder if it'll stay dark?

Itty bitty feet.

Dean holding the itty bitty feet

Holding my hand

My sweetie

"Just put your little hand(s) in mine..."

 Isn't this precious?

 Holding Dean's hand

Robin wanted the two of them to lay down together this morning.  Pity Liam didn't really want to.

So that's our one month old!

Time for some Pictures!!!

There's really not much time to organize this sort of thing with two kids, so posts will likely be even more sporatic than they were before.  But here are some pictures of Liam's first weeks with us!

This first installment is only hospital pics, because that's all the time Liam's giving me tonight.

With Mama shortly after birth (do i look tired enough?)

This is a cute one of my three boys
