Friday

Liam and Meg had a pretty quiet day as it was pretty cold outside. Calling for snow over the weekend. Liam's neck is pretty much 100% able to hold his head up. He was sitting in his Bumbo seat again. Pics 1-4: 1. Marvel comics clothes. 2. Yawn. 3. Studying with Dad and Honoka. 4. Looking bored...

Thursday

On Thursday Meg's friend came over again for their weekly get together. Her girl is a bit older than Liam but quite a bit smaller. Not much else to report. Pics 1-2: 1. Liam and his friend. 2. Liam by himself.

Tuesday & Wednesday.

Only took one picture on Tuesday and it didn't turn out all that well, so just combining Tuesday and Wednesday. Liam is still just ultra relaxed and hangs out with everyone all the time. We had Dale and Tsumugi staying with us on Tuesday night as they had an early flight in the morning on Wednesday. Liam doesn't seem to mind who is around, just keeps smiling. Meg and I took him out yesterday around noon to get a few things for him. He fit into the clothes that Grandad Tommyk sent for him. Looked good. Pics 1-5: 1-2. Sitting in his Bumbo seat up at the kitchen. 3. His Tommyk claes. 4. In his stroller. 5. Out at Sapporo station.

Monday.

Meg had a couple of her good friends from High School over on Monday for a few hours. Both of them have kids as well. Only one of them could come though, cause the other girl was at kindergarten or something, anyway there is a picture of the boy who came. Normal night here, raining again...right through til this morning. Pics 1-3: 1. Liam close-up, loves his hands. 2. Liam with his buddy. 3. Liam at dinnertime.

Sunday.

Came back from Bibai in the morning and then I had to go to work. Meg and Liam just hung out at home for the most part. Not much doing in the evening, just a relaxing Sunday. Pics 1-3: 1. Liam, sitting in his chair. 2. Smile from Liam. 3. My new bike, had to sneak it in.

Saturday - Liam's 100 Days Ceremony.

In the morning Meg's Mum and Dad came down from Bibai. After that, we went to the Hokkaido Shrine in Maruyama Park to take part in the ceremony for Liam. It was about 30 minutes long. We got a lot of pics while we there. We then went up to Bibai for the night and had a big dinner to celebrate Liam's 100 days. Meg's Grandma was home so it was nice to share it with her. We had Tai (Snapper), Sushi etc etc. It was important that we pretend to make him eat for pictures and it was a pretty fun day. Too many pictures to post today, so going to have to do the descriptions later. Pics 1-19:

Friday.

Not much going on during a cold Friday. Meg and him stayed in and relaxed. Still smiling and laughing a lot these days. I got my new bike though, so it was a good day. Will sneak a picture or two on the blog later. Off to the shrine now for Liam's 100 days ceremony. Pics 1-3: 1. Bumbo seat. 2. Morning picture. 3. Liam trying out his 'Bumbo' seat. Neck just not quite ready for it. 4. Liam sleeping with his dog.

Thursday.

Meg's friend came over today for their weekly meeting with her daughter. She is a bit older than Liam, but a bit smaller. Meg says Liam's feet are massive compared to hers...hope he doesn't end up with size 15s or anything. Pics 1-4: 1. On the couch. 2. Close-up. 3. Feet... 4. Liam's toy bow tie? It fell like that I think, unless Meg got bored.

Wednesday.

On Wednesday Meg took Liam to the ward office for his weigh-in and length check. He was 6860g, and 64.8cm! He was above the average for Japanese babies with his length. His weight was around the middle. He was pretty tired at night after his bath and pretty much went straight to sleep after that. Pics 1-3: 1. 'what the heck do you want?' 2. Morning pic. 3. Trying to eat his hands as usual these days.

Tuesday.

Raining all day outside so Meg and Liam didn't get up to much. Liam was sleeping most of the day. Pics 1-3: 1. Morning pic. 2/3. Sleeping on our bed.
