Liam at 10 weeks

It seems like whenever Liam is laughing, talking and cooing, the camera is never nearby. As soon as I get the camera and start filming, the little guy clams up... Here are some glimpses into his sweet personality. Please excuse the fact that I am acting like a crazy lady in both videos, trying to get him to laugh. :-)

He loves to be tickled and to "talk". He's very engaging and smiles as soon as you catch his eye. He grins from ear to ear when he sees Ava. It's adorable to watch him smile at her. He is very content, for the most part. He will let you know when he is tired, but will stop crying as soon as we put him down in his pack-and-play.

Liam does seem to struggle with acid-reflux, for which he now takes medication. Interestingly, he is taking the same medication I was on when I was pregnant with him. He struggles to drink some bottles, if the reflux is really acting up. It's horrible to watch because I KNOW he is hungry but he just can't drink, it hurts that bad. :( I'm hoping the medication will work well and that he grows out of this soon. The doctor said it should only last until 3 months or so. (I've heard it can last longer, so we'll see!)

Peace, Love and baby chuckles,
Shelly

Poor Liam.:-( I hope the medicine and crib wedge will relieve some of his reflux- I know that's frustrating for him! We're thinking of you guys & hope you have a great week!

I feel for you! Gabriel had pyloric stenosis, which was surgically corrected at five weeks, and had acid reflux until he was about a year old! If it goes on longer, you guys will get through it! Hopefully it doesn't!:) Either way, I am thinking of you all! xo, Mel
