One of the first things we have noticed about little George is how different he is from Liam, and not just in appearance. It's like from the first second he entered this world, he has made a point to say to everyone that he is not his brother. Not that there is anything wrong with Liam, of course. But George is definitely his own little person.
At 12 days old, little G is doing great. He is eating well and gaining weight. We took him last week for a quick checkup and, at 8 lbs, 3 ozs., he was just an ounce and a half short of his birthweight. Everything checked out well. His apgars at birth were 9s and he never developed jaundice.
One of the biggest differences between little man and his big bro is how relaxed he is. Liam did not sleep this much when he was born and was rather high-needs and colicky from the start. The handful of times we've seen George even whimper was during diaper changes. At other times, you can find him just laying out and quietly relaxing...whether asleep or awake. George's favorite sleeping position is with both arms above his head (touch-down style). He hates to be swaddled! He loves to snuggle and is just a really chill baby.
We decided to give our little man his own site since we keep Liam's blog as a baby book of sorts and want to keep it more focused on him. Also, this will give George his own space to highlight all these new and different things that he is surely to do. You can still find photos and videos for both boys on the same sites, and all will be linked together, so just look for the links on each boy's site. Hope you enjoy!
Will post again after his 2 week check up on Thursday.
