10 days

Liam has been home 10 days. It seems like he has always been here.:) He has added even more joy to our family. The boys have really adjusted well to each other (alot better than I anticipated). We have a pretty good routine going so far. I couldn't ask for anything more.

At 7 years old, Liam weighs in at 28 lbs. and is 38 inches tall. He has gone to the dentist and the pediatrician so far. After a good cleaning and some xrays, the dentist said that Liam has severe gingavitus and periodontal disease. This is because his teeth were not taken care of while he was an orphan. To be honest, it looked like they had never been brushed. But now they are beautiful and he has no cavities! Our dentist is going to consult with a periodontist before we go back next month.
Liam can feed himself and also drink from a cup independently. Right now, he only eats mashed foods. In fact, he refuses to eat anything that is not in a bowl and served with a spoon. My main concern is that he eats right now since he is so small.....but we will gradually be working on introducing solid foods also.
We are working on a few signs. Today he signed "all done" by himself.:)
He LOVES to take a bath. He gets upset when bath time is done.
He loves to watch cartoons. He really likes Mickey Mouse and Signing Time videos.We all went to see Beauty and the Beast at the theater the other day and he was glued to the screen. It was so cute!!
He loves music.:)
He is a cuddler and loves to be picked up and will always come and sit on my lap, if I am in the room.
He is really sweet and very smiley.
He sleeps like an angel all night long.
He also likes to ride in the car. He gets excited when I am putting his coat on to go outside.
He will still keep a hat on but has decided that socks are for the birds.

Tomorrow we go to enroll him in school and also begin to have some testing done. He will not start until mid February, when I go back to work. Right now, I am soaking up every minute with him......and loving it!
