McNeill Clan, Gold Coast Edition

Welcome to the photo gallery of the newly formed McNeill Clan. Liam decided to join our world (right in the middle of dragonballZ...) at midnight on the 8th of May, 2002. Well, thats when labour started anyway. 6am, Amy gave our taxi driver to the hospital a lesson in language that a sailor would blush at, and at 10:52 am, he gave his first startled squeak. As if to say "MY GOD your hands are cold!". Since then, a month later, he's grown in leaps and bounds. Grown a massive 3cm in length, put on close to 1.2 kilos, and suffered through his first snotty nose. He's also one of the only children they can remember up at the maternity clinic who could freely able to hold his head up at less then a month old.. and at two weeks he could lift himself off his stomache onto all fours. (for about 2 seconds, before mum has to rescue him!) Mum and dad have grown a bit too. Suffered through his first cold (mum suffered more then Liam did), his inability to sleep for more then an hour without demanding cuddles, food, changing and more sleep, mummy mastitis, 7 hours worth of waiting in the A&E up at the hospital, and have not managed to execute each other at gunpoint - just yet.


All in all, mum and dad, although they've never been tireder, have also never felt this complete. We love our baby boy.


Time has past, Liam is now 4 months of age give or take a few days, he is still beautiful, still adorable and still the centre of our world but that isn't going to change anytime soon! He has had visits from both sets of grandparents and one aunt that loves him almost as much as us! He has his first tooth coming through a fact he has informed the entire neighbourhood of! Both mum and dad have had a bday, 22 and 21 years of age now aren't we old and grey! And as mature adult we want to thank everyone who has helped us through the tough times and there has been a few. The horrid pregnancy, the annoyingly painful labor and the first 3 months of liams life *laughs* thankyou all, who have been there on the other end of the phone at 3am and still helped instead of telling us where to go, you who turned up with baby clothes which were desperately needed and you who hugged us and told us it wouldn't last forever! Thankyou you mean the world to us!

Mum is the winner!! Amy has beaten the baby that was determined not to sleep!!

This was beautiful and of course being a new mum I have 5 photos of it! He actually pushed the button to make the music go again.. either that or he was trying to beat the crap out of the turtle due to the horrible music that came out of it before... not sure which! *lol*
