First Food

We gave Liam his very first spoon-fed meal yesterday. There's a picture and a video. I'm still amazed that I'm actually a father. It's amazing how much this little guy means to me already. He's outgrown several more of his sleepers this week. I'm going to miss a couple of them because they're so cute on him. He's still a very happy baby, and he makes lots of happy noise. We consider ourselves very lucky that he doesn't cry all that often.

First Haloween

We didn't get around to making costumes for ourselves because we were more excited about making one for Liam. In the end we decided to dress Liam up as a red pikmin. Pikmin is a video game for the nintendo game cube. It's quite a fun little game. I've added a picture of some pikmin so that you can compare.



Here are a few more pics. We've taken several that we really like this week. The last picture was taken today. Liam was trying to eat his feet, and he was getting pretty close to getting his big toe in his mouth. I tried to snap a picture of it, and it turned out pretty cute. September got a sound recording of Liams giggles. We're trying to figure out how to get it onto the blog because it is so cute, but that will be another day.

Baby Giggles are the Best

We gave Liam a bath today after we finished eating dinner. As I was getting him undressed he was kicking away with his legs and waving his little arms with a great big gummy smile. I always get him ready for his bath while September gets the bathwater ready. I'm pretty sure he recognises the sounds and sights, because he always gets excited. After his bath September had him giggling. It's the cutest thing in the world. September gets to hear him more often than I do simply because I'm at work when he does it the most. You can really see how orange his hair looks in some light in the one picture. It really depends on the lighting.

Babies are definately not ugly

So I had a very strange discussion with someone the other day. They were saying how they didn't like babies because they were ugly. His reasoning behind this was that they were disproportionate; their heads were way too big for their bodies. I was amazed. Having those proportions is what makes babies so incredibly cute! Ever seen a baby with adult proportions? I'm kinda tempted to do a quick photoshop job to show the difference... On second thought... no, I don't think I'll do that.

Squeals

Well, we finally got a few squeaks on camera. You'll also get to hear September and I trying to get him to talk from behind the camera. It's truly amazing how much joy the little guy brings. It's our wedding anniversary today. We've been married two years now. Marrying September was honestly the best choice I've ever made. Since then, having Liam has been the best choice that we've made as a couple. Here are two more pictures we've taken. The one is just one we snapped of him chewing on his fingers. The other one was taken about ten minuets ago of him in his new jolly jumper. Even though the box called it a 'bumper jumper' they will always be called a jolly jumper. (kinda like band-aids are band-aids no matter what brand they are.)

Mobile

Liam is starting to grab stuff more often. Today he got ahold of his little blue dog and spent some time sucking on the ears and legs. We think he really likes the colour blue because he went after his little blue dog when given a choice. Allso, when he is watching his mobile he tends to follow the blue frog that is on it. He loves the mobile, and talks to it allot. He's getting more vocal, and it's sometimes hard to tell if he's happy or complaining untill you watch his little facial expressions. So when he's in his cradle, (and we're getting stuff done nearby) we're constantly checking to see if he's having fun or if he's ready to come out.

Video!

Ha Ha! a sucessfull video! I still havn't been able to get any other videos uploaded. This pic was taken just before I started doing this post. The video was done yesterday. September meant to take a picture of him sticking out his tongue. She took a short video instead. It's only 2 seconds long, but it's cute.
