Rolling Along...

Big news from our house! Will has finally decided he'll just get himself out of tummy time! He's fussed about it for 3 months now and finally he's mastered rolling out of it. He's been doing it with a little help for a few weeks now, but this weekend was the first time on his own! So - you say - what's the big deal? Big deal to Mama and Daddy who've been waiting for a while for this first big milestone. Won't be long 'til he's going from back to front, crawling, then walking. It's all over now! Here's a little clip, enjoy.


Ever had a day like this? Really - Will was having a great time - getting supper all over his face! Sweet potatoes and green peas to be exact. Sunday Will decided to only take half his milk for 3 of his bottles. He'd rather be lovin' on the bottles than drinking his milk!

This past weekend we attended a graduation party for Mark's cousin Alyssa. She graduated with honors from Ozark High School - isn't she beautiful - both inside and out. We are so proud of her!

At the graduation party - another cousin Chaya thought it would be fun to climb into and rock in Will's car seat - too cute!

As always, check out more pictures HERE!

Fussy Five Month Old

So today marks Will's 5th month! Boy has it flown by...then somedays it creeps along...like today. Will woke fussy, napped fussy, bathed fussy, ate fussy. Luckily he had 1 1/2 hour lull in the fuss during lunch with some girlfriends!

Don't get me wrong...I love him to death, but this was new for us both! Will is always a happy dude, so today threw me for a loop. I'm figuring that after 2 months or so of drooling and chewing on everything in reach ALL THE TIME, that he's probably cutting some teeth. But you know, even when he's fussy, that bottom lip cracks me up every time!

No checkup this month, so we don't know his weight, but we know he's packing on the pounds now that he's loving solids. He's already fitting into 12 month jammies (with a couple inches to grow into) and 9 month clothes! He's so close to rolling over, just not yet - maybe in the next couple of weeks. See more pictures here.

So - to end a fussy day, Daddy gave him is night time bottle and he was out...

Feet, Feet, Feet

"How many, many feet you meet!" --Dr. Seuss

Will has met his feet! There's something on the end of those legs - and they're pretty cool! He hasn't started chewing on those piggies yet, but won't be long.


He's even trying to get to them while strapped into his bouncy seat. He loves playing with them on the changing table (sans diaper), making it very difficult to change him.

First Foods

April 2, 2010
We couldn't wait to start some solid food with Will. He seemed to really be intersted in what we were eating, he's holding his head up really well and sitting assisted. Who wouldn't want a little more than just milk??? Apples were the first try, with a little rice cereal. I debated doing just cereal - but have you tasted the stuff? So - we began.

I'm not sure he likes it really.

Definately doesn't like it...maybe tomorrow!!

The following morning we tried again...bananas this time! I know, I know, I'm suppose to only introduce 1 food at a time, but after I tasted the apples, they tasted tart to me, so I thought we'd try something a little sweeter. Here we go again...he seems happy enough.

Wait, no I don't think he likes bananas either.

Definately isn't sure about this stuff...maybe not so bad...so we'll keep trying...he'll get the hang of it soon.


Now the advantage to this blog for now, is that I am posting all this stuff in the future! So I can tell you that Will has really started liking his foods. It took about 9 days of trying it twice a day and he really started figuring out the spoon and how to swallow. Now he's loving apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, green peas and pears!
