Here's a family shot , again taken by Jane Ollerenshaw.

According to Victoria , Liam has got my frown. You can see him here giving the frown a good work-out.

He mustn't like other people in his photos !!

Liam is eating well so he's a typical callaghan boy. He is a quiet child , once he's fed and cleaned and sleeps quite well.

He hardly cries at all, until yesterday when he finally did cry and we were actually relieved that he did so, but he only cried for a few seconds.

He's a great traveller , never a squeak out of him if we put him in the buggy or the capsule in the car.

more updates later - when there's more to report about !! :)

Am i cute or not ???

hello all .... here's a picture of me lying on the bed....

Thanks to Jane for taking this great picture of me - She also took some of Daddy, Mammy of course me !!!!

It will be in the next post.

I've been quite busy lately - I've been to the hairdresser with mammy although i didn't get anything done to my hair - it's fine as it is apparantly !!

I've been up to the local Post office to post off some photos to Granny in Ireland... I'm a busy person with things to do and people to see.....

It's not easy being a baby, although the lifestyle is good - food and drink provided and your nappy changed regularly !!

Daddy is quite impressed with my farting !!

Ooops - feed time, must go.... more later

Bye

Liam !!

I'll grow into it

Here's a picture of the young fella in the buggy - hmmm it'll take a while for him to grow into this.

But at least he looks nice and relaxed in it ....
yup , thats the way he likes to sleep , just like his Dad apparently ! , but at least he doesn't snore when he sleeps like this , but it's early days yet !!

What about me ???

Ok , after thousands of requests, for a picture of me , i have finally had to relinquish and publish one ,

here's one with Rosie, Victoria, liam and of course me !!

This was taken not long after the birth and we'd like to thank Rosie for being there and helping out with the birth ...

Now, you may see the newspaper there in the photo, but I wasn't reading it during the birth... :)

It'll be sealed up and given to liam at some time in future , so he can see what was going on in the world when he was born

my first outing

hello - it's baby Liam here - and today mammy and Daddy took me on my first trip outside in my new buggy.

here's a picture of us after we came back..... i'm fast asleep at this stage but it was a big day for me.

We walked up to the shopping centre - it was a very bouncy ride - i think Daddy needs to let some air out of those tyres, they were a bit bouncy on the hard Park tracks on the way to the shopping centre. I definitely had no gas left in me after that trip ....

and some of the driving around the shopping centre wasn't the best either - i think mammy and daddy need buggy driving lessons...

but they did buy me a new lamp for my room , so i don't have to use the big lights, which hurt my eyes....

But we made it back safely - our first trip out !!!

where to next ??????

liam's first week

Hello all

welcome to the blog for little Liam , where you can follow along on our journey.

Liam Patrick was born on the 20th March 2007 at 1.45pm.

Victoria really wanted Liam to be born on St. Patrick's day , but depsite all her pushing, he didn't want to budge. He was getting too used to the indoor life.

But he decided to make a very quick move on the 20th , and was born a very healthy 7lb 10 oz.

A small turkey , as they say !
We arrived at the Mercy women's hospital at 1.15pm and he was born 30 minutes later , so not a lot time lost , by the little fella !

The widwives at the Mercy Birthing Centre were really fantastic and made the whole birthing experience a really positive experience.

We only spent 2 days in the Birthing Centre before we came home, but they follow up with midwife visits at home to make sure you are coping , so they have been really helpful and giving us great advice.

So far , since we have been home , he has been feeding well and sleeping very well. He is a pretty quiet baby really , and long may that continue !!

But he's docile , just like his Dad !!! once he's fed and cleaned !!! :)

thats all for now , till i figure out how to insert more pictures and put them where i want , not where this blog wants to put them !! :)

wishing you all the best ,

Paddy, Victoria and Liam
