Liam


 Liam was born at 5:07 pm, was 19 inches long (though I think he was a little bit longer), and weighed 6 lbs and 8oz. We had considered the name Liam before we knew if Livvy was a boy or girl, so this time Luke really wanted to use it. It has become really popular so I wasn't sure but Luke loved it so much and it was just about the only name we could agree on so we were pretty sure one of the babies would be Liam. His middle name was much harder to pick. But when Granny came to visit us in the hospital she suggested Lawrence, my grandfather and uncle's name. We thought it sounded good with Liam plus it had a family connection so we went with it. Luke is still considering changing Liam's middle name to Sloan so that it fits better in the songs that he likes to sing about the babies (Sloan is also Luke's middle name). He is also content calling him Liam Larry in his songs.

Liam is by far our calmest baby. The first week home both babies lost a bunch of weight because they weren't getting enough to eat (the worst thing you can tell a mother!) but he never really fussed or let us know anything was wrong! He cries, of course, but will just lay in his crib until he falls asleep. He always seems to have his fingers stretched out straight. He likes the swing, to be on his tummy, and to be held.
 So far his nick names are Lemur, Li-yummy, Leemie, (from Daddy), Little Liam (from Mommy),  Tweak (from Livvy) and Lemen (cousin Mamie). We just love him to pieces!
