Now that Liam can sit himself up reliably, I can let the kids enjoy the big bath without being in myself (but still under my careful eye, of course!). This extra room allows them to stretch out - Liam especially likes to "swim" around, giving us a good view of his tushy and his little birthmark. Liam's birthmark is in a very discreet location, so discreet we didn't even know he had a birthmark till he was two weeks old. Recently, Megan noticed it, too. "How come they gave Liam a spot on his bottom?" she wanted to know. I wanted to know who she thought this spot-giving "they" were, but neither of us had very satisfactory answers for the other.
Megan also noted: "I have a pink bottom and Liam has a red bottom." Though this seems silly, it is true that our kids have very different coloring. Megan is quite alabaster (a nice way of saying pasty white!) whereas Liam has more of an "olive" coloring. Whether this is his Italian heritage coming through or just too many jars of orange vegetables remains to be seen.
