Rice Cereal

For the last month Will has been watching Stephen and I eat, tracking every forkful with his eyes. So on Sunday we decided to try him on rice cereal. It was quite an adventure, but he LOVED rice cereal! He ate the entire bowl and wanted more but I didn't want to push it. He then slept 13 1/2 hours without making a peep, I LOVE RICE CEREAL!

He just kept eating and eating!

One satisfied baby!

Christmas, Part 2

The week after Christmas was spent being "tourists". We took Will to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, the Zoo and the beach. He LOVED the beach, the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park were less of a hit. Will couldn't of cared less about the animals but he really dug the trees.

It got kind of cold at the Zoo so we put his blanket on his head, he didn't mind so much.
One happy baby.

After we left San Diego, we went to visit Stephen's sister, Christina, in Crestline, CA (a town in the mountains of San Bernadino). But those pictures are for the next post.

Christmas Part 1

So many things happens over the Christmas break! Will had his 3 month birthday, he had his first Christmas, and he had his first haircut, just to name a few things. So get ready for a crazy load of pictures!

2 Months Old

Will is 2 months old! I really don't believe it, the time has flown by!

Here are his stat from his 2 month check up

Height- 23 1/2 inches 75%
Weight- 11 lb 7 oz. 45%
Head Circ.- 15 3/4 inches 55%

He's getting SO big. He still is such a great baby. He loves to just take in his surroundings and his little brain is constantly working. He loves tummy time and I swear he's going to be crawling soon. He can lift his entire body off the blanket. I'm not too sure I'm ready for my baby to crawl, though.

The Many Faces of Will

Family Pictures

My little sister took some pictures of our little family. They were taken with my little point and shoot camera but they turned out pretty nice, huh?

Happy Halloween!

I know Halloween is over but that's ok. It was a fun Halloween. We all dressed up. Will was Charlie Brown, Stephen was Linus and I was Lucy from the Peanuts. We are SO cute! I can't wait for next year when Will is a little more aware of what's going on.

P.S. Yes, that is a wig :)

Happy One Month Birthday Will!

My baby is one month old today! I can't even believe it. As I look back on the first month of my baby boy's life, so much has happened!

• 30 hours of labor followed by 2 1/2 of pushing
  
• A short visit to the NICU for antibiotics and a little jump start for his lungs
• Getting to see him for the first time up close
• Holding him for the first time
• Seeing Stephen hold him for the first time
  
• Coming home from the hospital
• Meeting so much of his extended family
• Going under the Jaundice lights
  
• His first bath
• Going back to the hospital because of an infection
• Watching him be poked with 10 million needles
• Being released from the hospital
• Going to his daddy's birthday party
• Tummy time
• Lots of trips to the doctor
  
• The first time he smiled at me

So much has happened in his short life! I love him SO SO much and I can't wait to see what the rest of forever brings.
