2 Months Old

Will is now 2 months old!!! He went for his 2 month check up on Monday and is 13 lbs. 14 ounces (90% percentile) and 24 1/2 inches long (75% percentile). He weighs more at 2 months than Anna Katharine did at 4 months!! Needless to say he's a great eater!


Other exciting things about Will:

* Wears size 2 diapers
* Can wear some 3-6 month old clothes
* Has learned to smile
* Still only sleeps 3-4 hours at night (hopefully that will change soon!)
* Such a sweet, laid back little man

Church Fall Festival & Mother's Day Out "Job Fair"

For Halloween, our church had a Fall Festival with lots of fun activities for the kids last Wednesday night. On Thursday, Anna Katharine's school had a "job fair." The kids were encouraged to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grow up. Anna Katharine loves animals, so we decided she could follow in her Paw Paw's footsteps and dress up like a veterinarian. Baby Will was a dalmation (the same costume Anna Kate wore when for her 1st Halloween). We went to the Canton Flea Market on Friday so the kids didn't get to actually "Trick or Treat," but they did have fun at the events we attended.

Pumpkin Patch

The Sunday before last we took the kids after church to a pumpkin patch close to our house. Anna Katharine had fun running through the pumpkins and playing with the hulla hoops with her friends Hayden & Camille. It was lunch time for Will so he wasn't quite as enthusiastic as the big kids.

The week of sickness

Well this has been the week of sickness around our house! On Saturday Will started sounding congested again so we brought him to the doctor to find out he has a cold (after a short scare that it was pneumonia again). Anna Katharine had a runny nose over the weekend as well, so Will could have gotten the germs from his big sister.

We were all starting to feel a little better until last night Anna Katharine threw up all over my Mom, herself & Will! Then after we got home I took her temperature & she's running 101. So we are home today drinking lots of liquids, watching lots of movies and trying to nurse this family back to health! Hopefully she will not spread her latest germs to the rest of us! Tuesday was my 1st day back to work & I already had to take a sick day off today. Lots of fun!

Lynette & John's Wedding

This weekend my cousin Lynette got married in Estherwood, Louisiana. Her Dad (my Uncle Timmy) has had Lou Gerigs disease for 16 years and is confined to his home. In order to have him a part of the wedding, they decided to have the wedding in his backyard. There was not a dry eye in the place when Lynette and Aunt Mary Jane walked down the aisle. We are so thankful that Uncle Timmy was able to be there to watch his daugther get married. Will is doing much better and the doctor gave us the all clear to go out in public again. It was the first time for several of our family members to meet baby Will and the first time that we got a picture taken of us as a family of 4!!


There were so many kids at the wedding and Anna Katharine found this one little boy in particular to play with. They got bored waiting on the band to start playing and decided to provide a little entertainment of their own. I have video footage of them "dancing" as well and will attempt to upload that later.

One Month Old

I know, I know...Will is closer to 2 months than to a month now, but I am just now getting around to posting his one month old update.

At one month, Will
* rolled from stomach to back
* followed a object with his eyes & turned his head (Baboo was holding an oreo!!)
* wears size 1 diapers
* gained over 2 pounds since birth
* eats every 2-3 hours during the day
* usually wakes up 2 times a night to eat
* very laid back personality
