WILL.I.AM

Watching the Grammy's tonight, we noticed Will seemed to particularly love the Black Eyed Peas. Without further ado, we are pleased to show you the singing and dancing debut of Mr. Will.I.Am.

P.S. Jen, if Tyler is interested in dance lessons, I'm sure Will would be happy to make room in his schedule :)

First Nap in Crib!

Today William took his first nap in his crib, and it was a success! We set his lamby to "dreams" and the soothing sound put him to sleep in no time. Up until now, his room has been used merely as a storage room. And, when William did nap, it was either during shopping trips, while Mommy or Daddy held him, or in his swing or bouncy chair. While William napped, I took the opportunity to start weeding through his clothes and boxing up those that no longer fit. It was a little sad looking at some of his newborn clothes which seem teeny tiny now and the much larger 3-6 month clothes he is now starting to wear.

Professional Photo Day!

Today started out on such a good note, we experienced 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Here is a picture of Will and Bailee hanging out on the couch together: So, today should have been a good day, and it was for the most part. Things just didn't go as smoothly as we would have hoped. After some debate as to what William should wear, we decided on a sweater vest with jeans and little tennis shoes. William received a bath, was fed, and changed before we disembarked for our big 3 month photo shoot day at Yuen Lui. Well, naturaly William managed to spit up on himself just as we were about to head out the door. Nothing a little water couldn't take out. He managed to fall asleep during the short car ride, and was not a happy camper when we tried to wake him. Most of the pictures the photographer took were of him crying or grumpy looking, definitely not the typical happy William. So, we tried feeding him in hopes of making him a little happier, which worked. But, William did manage to spit up all over Mommy and a little on himself. The photographer was able to get a few good shots though of our happy Will. We should recieve them in 10 days, so stay posted.

Happy 3 Months Will!

Today William is 3 months old! It is hard to believe. William loves his swing and watching the mobile above him, can sit in his Bumbo now, and is awake and alert for longer periods. Tomorrow we go in for professional photos at Yuen Lui, but in the meantime, here are a few pictures we took today. Happy 3 Month Birthday William, we love you!

Jen's Photos

The following are photos that Jen took of William during one of our playdates at her house. She has such an amazing eye. Thank you Jen!

The Will

It's been awhile since we've provided an update. Since our last posting, William and Mommy have enjoyed play dates with Jen and son Alex, shopping excursions with Auntie Ellen, a long holiday weekend with Daddy, visits to Grandma Victoria and Grandpa Dave's, and walks with Bailee.

William is growing so much. An informal weighing last night put him at almost 13 pounds. He almost slept throught the night, getting up a little after 5, and only because Mommy startled William while checking on him. We are hoping for a repeat tonight.

Day of Visitors

After a delicious dinner party at Grandma Susan and Grandpa Steve's last night with the Wittenberger's, we spent Sunday visiting with Auntie, David Goldman, and Lori Ketterlin. William continues to amaze everyone with how easy going and content he is.

Going to Work

We got to visit Dad's work today where Dad's co-workers crowded around and took turns holding William. William very much liked his visit and enjoyed having lunch with Mom and Dad at Red Robin.

Glenda Visits!

Today we were visited by our good friend Glenda Collins...we wish Cara were here so she could come visit too! We enjoyed a delicious lunch from Panera Bread. Can't wait to see you again Glenda!Tomorrow, Will gets to visit Daddy's work!

2 Month Doctor Visit

Today was William's 2 month doctor visit. Doctor Shifrin was impressed with William's development and growth and said William is right where he needs to be for a 2 month old. He measured in at 23 inches long, and weighed a whopping 10 lbs 13 oz. In addition, it was shot day, and William didn't even cry during the shot.

We've been working on our tummy time, and William's been holding his head up and pushing up with his arms.

And Bailee has enjoyed napping alongside William.

We should also report on our New Year's weekend. New Year's eve was uneventful and all were in bed and fast asleep by 10:30. New Year's day was spent at Grandma Victoria and Grandpa Dave's where a ham dinner with macaroni and cheese, green beans, deviled eggs, baked beans, and key lime pie was enjoyed.

Saturday we celebrated our good friend Caitlin's birthday with a birthday breakfast at Hector's in Kirkland. This was our first restaurant adventure with William, and he was as content as could be in his car seat. He did manage to have a pretty stinky poop though and Mom was forced to have the first public restroom diaper change experience. Luckily we all survived.

Saturday evening our good friends Andrew and Melissa came over with their son Aiden to enjoy pizza and time with the little man.

And Sunday, William was visited by our friends Mike and Vicki Wittenberger.
