Recent Developments
Last week, I think, we gave Liam his first in-the-tub bath. He did very well. He looks a bit surprised here, but there were no tears.
However, you would have no idea, by this photo, that he just finished peeing all over me and the floor. My mother then wrapped him in a much more absorbent towel and held him - now that he was done peeing of course.
He looks so sweet, so innocent here. Sigh. Liam was just diagnosed with acid reflux. What does that mean? That means this baby goes from Zero to Sixty in about a nanosecond, because if he's crying it's because he's in some serious pain. He doesn't fuss much otherwise. He's now on medication to neutralize all that acid coming back up. Hopefully, we'll be seeing more of the happy baby again soon.
Here, Liam is posing to recreate the style in which his maman apparently slept when she was his age. No joke.

He has such a wise, old look on his face in that first picture.
Petunia slept with her hands by her face, too. We would swaddle her and she would struggle and fight until she got her arms free. When she got her tiny fists up next to her face, then she would fall asleep peacefully.

Hey Mara! I have acid reflux too. It sucks, but as long as you avoid eating really acidic foods it's ok. It is also triggered by stress, which is how I found out I had it.
Liam is so cute! His skin looks so smooth. That last picture make me want to curl up under my desk and take a nap...
