Just to catch-up on Liam's amazing growth during the first two-and-half months. He started out as just a tiny guy.
At birth he weighed an impressive 5 lbs. 11 oz. and 19 inches long. I am still thankful that he was little because of his difficult birth. (Take notice of his cone head, that has luckily gone away).
Liam at one day old, very sleepy but waving hello to everybody. At his smallest Liam weighed 5 lbs. 2 oz. when he was 5 days old. Sitting with Grandpa he looks very small and yellow (I partly blame the lighting in his bedroom) but he did have a problem with jaundice.
At one month old our little Liam had bounced up to 8 lbs. 4 oz. (I have a better picture but somehow I have managed to loose it in cyberspace, it is on my Facebook page)
At two months he was an impressive 11 lbs. 1 oz. At 9 weeks he had doubled his birth weight (12 lbs. 1 oz. and 23.25 inches long) and weighed 3 oz. less then his cousin Elizabeth who is 7 weeks his elder.
We now believe him to be larger than his cousin, in terms of weight but she is still longer than him. He is due for a growth spurt any day now (I know this because when I pick him up he doesn't feel that heavy, very scientific of me)!
