He didn’t even fuss that much. We felt in his mouth and there it was pokin’ its pearly edges right thru his gums…Its so exciting. I love when he smiles and we can see them shining back at us. Our little man is growin’ up!

Shortly thereafter, Liam waved bye-bye, began scooting backwards (a precursor to crawling for many babies) and held his bottle all by himself, all for the first time.  Sadly, there was one ‘first’ that Tori and husband Dean McDermott could have done without — Liam’s first cold.  Says Tori,

Poor little guy. He’s all stuffy and sneezy but still wanting to bounce and dance and entertain everyone he encounters…I know I sound like a babbling proud first time mom but…. well, I am a babbling proud first time mom and Liam’s biggest fan for life!!!!

It didn’t feel like I was on a diet. It was convenient with the baby, and it tasted good. I want to enjoy my life right now, and I don’t want to feel like I can’t eat. It totally changed my body.

I’ve heard about people on diets and you get a a meal plan and you eat the same thing, but with NutriSystem, there’s so much to choose from that it took me forever to go through everything and repeat. My favorite is the meat loaf.

I just had a baby, and I don’t know how my body has changed or what my metabolism is now. That doesn’t mean that I can’t go out to dinner or deviate a little bit, but I feel comfortable and I love the food so I want to stay on it.

Having a baby puts everything to perspective; everything is so much more than you are. Seeing life through his eyes now, he’s so happy and everything is so simple it makes you stop stressing about the little things in life.

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.

Liam wears Kimball Concepts ‘My mom is hot’ tee ($5.25; romper $7.25). Their online store is not currently open, but should be soon!

On gaining the weight: I didn’t have a problem with it. Iate whatever I felt like, and the weight crept up. And I did not workout at all. [After the delivery], I immediately lost 10 lbs. Then thescale didn’t move. Nothing. I was like, ‘Why isn’t it coming off?’

On her c-section: I had an emergency c-section [after a failed induction hours after my water broke],which kept me from exercising for nine weeks. One of the biggestmisconceptions is that celebrities have c-sections because it’s easier.If I had a choice, I would not have, I would not recommend it. The recovery is much worse.

Life as a mom: You have to make the time to spend with your baby. But the greatthing is, in the work I do currently, Liam can be with us. I get to bewith my baby and my husband all day long. There’s nothing better. Lifeas a mom is fantastic — it’s hectic, but I always say the show and thebed and breakfast is more work than Liam is.

Not dealing with the weight: The last thing on my mind wasto diet. I ate more in the six weeks after the birth than when I waspregnant; I was just so happy! We were home all day long, and peoplewould bring food over to us. It was great.

Filming of Inn Love 8 weeks later: I was okay withit, surprisingly. But it was in the back of my mind. Liam was 2 months,and I felt like I should start losing weight.

I had a friend who did NutriSystem.I thought, "Let me try it." [Tori is now a spokeswoman.] When I startedto see results, it was huge for me, because I never had to lose weightbefore. I never once dieted. I mean, I didn’t go through my life eatingMcDonald’s every day, but I never needed a strict diet.

Exercise: Honestly, I’m not doing much. That’s been thehardest part, the workout. I try to do two days a week. I do treadmill,and with the trainer, Sam Levine, we do fun stuff like kickboxing. Anda lot of ab work to help my belly.

Once the weight came flying off, I was excited to get on the scale everyday. It was like a competition. I’m very competitive.

Goal weight: I’m at my goal weight now. I lost 30 lbs. I’mnot the thinnest I’ve ever been, but I’m at the weight I was when I gotpregnant, which is the weight I’d like to stay at.
