The Faces of Will

Doesn't matter which one he's doing - I love them all!

Battle Scars

Will had his 2 month checkup yesterday (even though he's not quite 2 months yet). He was 12 lbs even, which puts him in the 75th percentile and was 22.5 inches which is off the charts for his age. He also got 3 shots. Poor baby has the bandaids to prove it (just below his onesie). I gave him Tylenol a few times because he seemed fussy and I figured he was sore. But he was in fairly good humor most of the day. I think this is one of the few times I put him down yesterday. I pretty much just held him all day, only putting him down to use the bathroom or get some food.

Bumbo Boy

Big Yawn!!
About to topple

My cousin Russ came to visit yesterday and brought Will a Bumbo. Its supposed to be for ages 3-14 months and Will isn't quite 2 months yet, but I couldn't resist putting him in it! His head control isn't perfect but he did pretty well for a minute and seemed to like it. I'm sure he'll enjoy it a lot more when his head is more steady, but it was pretty neat seeing him sit up. We will definitely be using this more in the future. Thank you Russ and Megan! We love it!

The cousins

My sister-in-law and I took the kids to the Natural Science Museum Wednesday. Will slept through most of it but I really enjoyed seeing my nieces and nephew explore. They had a new dinosaur exhibit and they loved excavating the bones. Alex had a blast running away from his sisters and when Will was awake, he seemed to enjoy the whale bones hanging from the ceiling. It was a fun day!

I caught a...

Smiling mohawk baby! Not the greatest pic of his hawk, but more will follow soon!

Peanut'in it

So Strong!

This kid gets stronger everyday! He's able to support some weight on his legs for brief periods and has pretty good head control. In the tummy time video you can see him push his butt straight up in the air and ends up scooching over the pillow. I keep telling him to stop trying to grow up so fast! (sorry for the sideways standing one - I tried to change it and it keeps reverting to the original)
