3 months already

After the initial 6-8 weeks, where all you're really doing is changing diapers, feeding, and putting the baby to sleep (oh, and surviving!) things start to really look up. Your baby becomes less of a blob and more of a person with a real personality. He smiles and coos at you, and gets excited when you pick him up. He can hold his own head up, and play with his toys unassisted. He can also put himself back to sleep when need be, if he's properly taught to. NOT that I am ready to be pregnant again any time soon, but I'm really enjoying all the little nuances of a baby, and I'm realizing that they change every day, and get farther and farther away from wearing newborn clothes and diapers (ok, so Liam wore his for like 2 days, but still!)

I had to take Liam to the doctor for his first appointment outside of a well visit. His tear duct in his left eye has been persistently clogged/infected since he was born. His right eye cleared up within the first month, but this eye had to be wiped down about 8-10 times a day, and no one enjoyed the process. So, I took him in and we received a prescription for antibiotic ointment to be put in his eye 3x/day for 5 days. I think his eye is looking a little better but still far from where it needs to be.

Otherwise, Liam remains a happy and healthy little (BIG) boy who just passed his 3 month birthday!

Liam is 3 months and 4 days old
