Lauren Conrad welcomed her first son in July 2017. At the time, she took to her website to share that his name was Liam James Tell. It was a name packed with meaning for both her and William Tell. As an insider told E! News, Liam’s first name was a shortening of Conrad’s husband’s name, while James was an homage to her father.
Familiarity of names aside, however, Conrad has been incredibly candid about just how many curveballs she and William dealt with after bringing their firstborn home. “I had no baby experience … I had never held a newborn, and I just changed my first diaper the other day,” she quipped to People (via Page Six). She also told the outlet that she and William had been blown away by just how much sway little Liam would have in their home. “This person is so little, but they run your household!” she smiled, thinking about a particularly intense search for Liam’s favorite book. “It was like our house was on fire,” she joked.

As for Liam himself, Conrad has opened up about a number of his milestones over the years — such as learning to talk. Granted, in one interview with E! News, she joked that certain words were only put to use when he saw fit. “He says ‘Mama’ … when he wants something.” Smart kid!
