Tori Spelling reflects on first six months of motherhood

It’s been six months since Liam Aaron McDermott‘s birth, but for ToriSpelling, it still feels like it was just yesterday. Theactress-turned-entrepreneur said on the Today Show Tuesday morning thatit’s definitely true what they say — everything happens so fast.

It’s great. It’s more amazingevery single day. It’s like getting to live life all over again throughnew eyes, like seeing everything he’s learning on a daily basis and thechanges he’s making. Everyone says it happens so fast — it reallyhappens so fast. It seems like I just gave birthyesterday.

Liam’s impending arrival famously served as a catalyst for healing therift between Tori and her mom Candy, and the 34-year-old is forevergrateful for it.

He is the best thing that could have happened to our family. When you have a baby, it just puts everything into perspective.You just realize any miscommunications, any ups and downs, you realize it’s aboutfamily. There’s that connection, there’s that bond that will always be there. So she’s great with him.

Also great with Liam is her husband, Dean McDermott, 40, who is always prepared to tend to their son.

Dean is so hands-on. It’s amazing. I got very lucky. Before I can get upto get a bottle, he jumps up he’s got a bottle in one hand, a diaper inthe other. He’s just really good.

I really love this family. They are so sweet together and Dean is just such a great dad to Liam. I hope they have another soon. On their reality show…when Tori thought she might be PG when Liam was only 2 months old…she was actually upset when she finally took a test and it was negative. She made Dean promise they would have another soon, so hope there is an announcement of another little one in a few months!

So Tori isn’t breastfeeding anymore? She mentioned using a bottle.

Sarah’s note: Not sure. She was having supply issues and I know she was pumping a lot. On the show she’s been shown emptying out pumped breastmilk bags into bottles but I’m not sure how long ago that was taped.

You can be breastfeeding and still use a bottle. She could have it ready so that Dean can feed him too and let her rest.

I am wondering if Dean is “hands on” with his other child? The baby he left his previous wife with?

Just curious..
