New hat - sour puss

It's not all fun and games !!! I'm not too impressed in this photo.

In the Capsule again - i prefer the pram actually but i have no say. I do like my new hat though - very cool......

These days i love playing under my kiddy gym , hitting all those things that hang down. I now chew my hands quite a bit and have started to hold my own hands. I talk a good bit now although no-one seems to understand what i am saying - no wonder i dont have a happy look !!

I do like driving in the car though - the only benefit of the capsule - i usually end up falling asleep....

mammy calls this look the Paddy Callaghan frown !!!

Welcome to WET Melbourne

Hello everyone - this is one of Mammy's favourite photo's of me. And isn't it a beauty. I had just woken up from my nights sleep and was i happy to see Mammy - it meant breakfast !!!!

I wasn't expecting to see a camera , but i did what i could !!!

This was taken 3 weeks ago , but it's taken this long to get the picture onto the Blog. Sometimes Daddy can be SO slow !

I'm still sleeping about 6-7 hours in one block from about 10pm till 4am.

I've been busy travelling to look at houses in Woodend providing my opinion where it was asked and sometimes where it was not !!! I have a lot to say you know !!

Hello from Cold melbourne

Hello everyone

again it's been a while since i've written here. I've been to the maternal helath nurse again for my regular checkup and they stripped be bollock naked again and weighed me - 6.03Kg i am in the normal weight range - my head size is slightly smaller than average - quality not quantity !!

I've got a bit of Skull Cap - flaky scalp - it's not good for impressing the ladies.
At mammy's mothers group there mostly other girl babies there - i check them out and see what they're like - it'll be a few years before i'm chasing them !!! Daddy is proud of me for checking them out !!

I've been travelling up with Mammy and Daddy to Woodend where they're looking at buying a new house - i checked out some new houses - but i didn't have much to say , in fact it was boring , so i slept thru it !! when i did have something to say , it was only to say that i was hungry !
Well a boy has got to eat !!!

I went to see Daddy playing rugby last Saturday. I cheered and cheered for him , but then mammy said that he wasn't even on the pitch yet !! but i cheered anyways !
daddy played well , except that he fumbled the ball , when he should have scored - Hope i am better than Daddy !

it's late and it's bath time. i've puked all over myself today , so i badly need a bath. so does mammy , as i always seem to get her as well !!

hugs and kisses !

Hello everyone

it's been a while since i have updated this Blog - i've been a busy boy - i've had lots of stuff to do and i had to make sure Mammy and Daddy got married ok and then i had my christening.

Then we also had my Granny Bob from ireland , auntie Gay and Uncle Art and my cousins visiting. They were staying with us , so i lost my room , but now they're gone , i think i will be moving back into my own room.

Mammy and Daddy think it's time i moved into my own room - i think they want some sleep !!!

I'm sleeping well ..... most nights , from 10pm till about 3.30am or sometimes later if i am not too gassy or hungry.

Daddy doesn't seem to hear me when i wake during the night - maybe thats his selective hearing , but some nights , he has no choice but to hear me. sometimes in the evening i have some gas issues !! Daddy is quite impressed with my farting ......

I now weigh over 5.4kg , and i am now 10 weeks old , and about 59 cm in lenght. I've already grown out of my first set of clothes ... i am on my next set of clothes .... for bigger boys !!

apparantly i have big hands and you know what that means !!!! :)

Yes , it means i will need big gloves .... why, what were you thinking ?????

It's late , i need to get my beauty sleep -

hope you are all keeping well !! I will post some photos from the wedding and from the christening in the next few days !!

Liam

chillin out with the ould man

hello there,

here's a photo from mammy and Daddy's wedding weekend in Mt Buller. I'm chillin out on Daddy's chest - although i'm not sure who needed the rest more , me or Daddy.....

Do you like my shirt ???

On the front it said " when i grow up , i want to play for Ireland " - Daddy was happy with that T-shirt !!

This was taken on the day after the wedding - I was very well behaved on the day , I never cried and slept thru most of it.....

Everyone was very happy with my performance during the day ....

How I shot Daddy

Here's a photo that Mammy and I found to be very funny...

Poor daddy was trying his best to help by changing my nappy , but he waited too long before putting the new nappy on ....... and I got him !!!!

hope Daddy has learnt his lesson ... but he seemed to laugh about it... for now !!

I look pretty happy about it too - mammy was cacking herself with the laughter ...

Liam , the Piddler

My maternal health visit

Hello again ...
just a quick note to let you all know how i got on at the maternal health nurse.....

my weight today was 4.368 Kg and my lenght was 56cm. I've put on a few g's ( my birth weight was 3.45 kg )

they stripped me naked again today and put me on the scales , but i got them back - i pee'd over their mat. daddy would have been proud of me ... The nurse was quite happy with me and says i was very alert for my age and also very active ..... doesn't she know my nickname - "wiggle worm " ...

thanks to mammy for driving me up to the nurse today. I was looking forward to the buggy ride , but there wasn't time for it , so we had to drive instead.
I'm looking forward to meeting my irish relatives next week - they're all coming over to see me apparently - although mammy and daddy have something on as well , but i know it's me they're coming to see.... Really !!

Wednesday is a busy day as we go to get mammy's dress fitted - this is boring , i think i will sleep thru it ... this is girly stuff

i'm tired , i'm off to sleep - maybe , if these belly aches go in time ...

liam

Hello again

Hello there again , baby liam here again

Here's a picture of me with my easter bunny that mammy and daddy bought me. Mind you , this was the last i saw of this bunny. I never saw it again , well i thought I saw the wrapper in the bin , but i could not be sure - they would have given me a piece ..... surely. !!!!

do you like my little gloves - they stop me scratching myself , which apparently i like to do.....

things are going good for me ... i'm stilling feeding every 3 hours , or sometimes a bit less if i get a bit peckish. I still pooh and pee a great deal and Daddy is quite proud of the farting noises I can make !!

I've even pee'ed on daddy a few times - not that I meant it , but he moves quick , when it heads his direction. His goal keeping skills comes in handy !!!

I'm growing into my clothes and have already gone past 000 clothes onto 00 clothes., I'm still being called Wiggle worm....

i have my next appointment with the maternal health nurse on monday where they weigh me and measure and do a general check up. It's not fun being bollock naked on a weigh scales and i let them know !!!

I will let you know how i get on with the nurse....

hope you all had a great easter holiday period as well .....

liam

my first nice outfit

G'day folks ...

Check me out in my new funky outfit - thanks to Gran and Poppy from Upotipotpon for my new clothes - Don't I look really cool in these clothes....

although i'm not sure about the Harry-HighPants looks that Mammy and Daddy have gone for ..... i think i would prefer my top over my pants...

but as i am too young to put on my own clothes.. there's not much i can do , except complain on my blog !!!

thank you Gran and Poppy !

Grissly times ahead - haha

Hello again , it's liam here again .... Daddy has finally let me back on the computer - maybe i shouldn't drool on the keyboard this time !!!

Here's a picture of me being changed - I've now got the nickname of "wiggle-worm" as I am rather active when they try to change my nappy.

I've also managed to wee on mammy a few times - i can't help it - it's the cold air when the nappy comes off .... :)

I go thru a few clothes changes during the day.

As for that nappy that you saw daddy changing in the previous post.... ha - useless. It was the right end all right , but not very tight - as useless as tits on a bull , as daddy would say ...

It only took 2 hours for me to soak my clothes and my wrap. a good lesson for daddy !!!

I've given Mammy and Daddy a good start for the last 2 weeks , but i have been feeling a bit grizzly during the nights and don't sleep too well , but i sleep well during the day and give mammy a chance to catch up on some sleep.

Mammy has started to put me on my front now , to help me build my neck muscles.

I've also been caught out in my first rain shower in my buggy - maybe mammy should check the weather before she goes to the shops !! I was nice and dry - but i think mammy may have got a bit wet before she got home......

anyways i had better go - Daddy's home from work. He'll want his computer back.....

will give ye more news soon

Nappy changing lessons

Who said this child farming was easy ???

As any parent knows ( and now we're one of them ) there's nothing like finding a full wet nappy of mustardy coloured stuff. You'd only change your own child's !!

here's my attempt at nappy changing, at least i got the nappy on the right end of the baby :)

We've had Liam out again in the pram this morning and he seems to like it. Well he was asleep for the whole trip, so it's hard to know :)

We could say that he definitely didn't dis-like it !!

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
