8 weeks

Okay I have no idea where the last month has gone. Liam is no longer a tiny newborn but a big old chunker! We took him to the doctor 2 weeks ago and he weighed 12 lbs 5 oz; I am sure he is well over 13 lbs now. He was also 23 1/4 inches long and in the 90th percentile for both height and weight! He continues to be the sweetest and happiest baby. He never cries and sleeps great already. About a week ago he started sleeping through the night! He goes down about 8:30pm and wakes up about 4:30am to eat, goes back to sleep until about 7:30am to eat again and then will go back to sleep until 9:00am or 10:00am. I am so lucky! Liam has also started to smile at us and it completely melts my heart. He is so precious and I could just kiss him all day long.
Dad, Cindy, and Jay came out here for several days over Thanksgiving and we had a lovely time. Liam had his first real outing to a Mexican restaurant right down the street. We were even able to walk there because the weather was so nice. He was a perfect angel and slept the whole time. Dow's mom and Uncle Dow joined us for Turkey day and we had lots of fun. Lauretta was so sweet and did most of the cooking. Cindy handled the desserts and we cooked the turkey in the slow cooker my grandparents gave us. It turned out great and so moist. Here are some pics from when they were here:

We leave for NC in 2 weeks and I am so excited! My mom has been busy getting all the baby supplies ready for us and Dan says there is so much stuff it looks like they are running a maternity ward. LOL It is going to be so much fun to have a baby in the house for Christmas. I remember this time last year all I wanted for Christmas was a baby; I must have been good this year because I got such a good one. :)

Here are some pics from the last month or so. Can't wait to see everyone in a few weeks!
