Half way there!

In the last week, William has been working pretty darn hard to get off of his back. Well, we are halfway there. Almost everytime he is on his back, he is rolling easily over onto his side! I don't think it will be too long before we are completely rolling over every direction!

Rolling over to knock over the blocks!


Rolling over to get more of the burp cloth into my mouth

Peeking!

P.S. Sorry about the onesie being so low cut! We're in the process of moving him into the 12 Month sized onesies - the 3-9 month size keeps popping open when he stretches and moves around! This baby needs to remember he is a BABY!

Beautiful Day

It was a great day! The weather here was gorgeous, so we went out for a walk and then visited with some of the neighbors! What a beautiful day!

Edit: I also want to add that Uncle Mike (McGarry) will be coming to Rochester on April 29 and leaving on May 14. Yeah! It is looking like we will be in Rochester from May 2 - May 12 (with John returning to St Louis again to work as before).

Videos and Goodbye Wallace!

We are in the process of uploading some videos! Click the links on the left side of the page. John promises me you will be able to tell which videos are from before and which ones are new somehow!

Today, we got up and got ready for church. Things were going great when we were about ready William spit up and I had to do some changing. We got to church and realized that church started 15 minutes earlier than we thought and church was almost over. Oops. Bad planning on our part! So, rather than walk in 40 minutes late to church, we went out for pancakes and said a prayer on the way. When we got home, we took a walk together and then worked in the yard. John worked in the basement a little and then got a haircut. William is still working pretty hard on the rolling over stuff, but we don't have it yet! Check out the video from yesterday (4/14) of him trying to get rolled over from his back to his front!

We have also officially said goodbye to Wallace. Wallace was a gigantic, ugly wart on my thumb. He appeared when I was pregnant and I had it taken off once. He came back bigger and uglier. My OB thought it could be from the pregnancy hormones and suggested waiting until after the baby came to get it taken care of for good. Wallace got bigger and badder looking at the end of the pregnancy. After William was born, it seemed like Wallace was getting smaller and smaller. In the last few weeks, he has all but disappeared. After consulting with John today, we have decided that Wallace the Wart has departed - for good, we hope!

Happy Sunday!

Rainy Day and Rolling over (almost!)

Today was a rainy, cold day! Yuck! We all hung out inside for most of the day. We did venture out for a little while to get some stuff at Lowe's for the basement and seeds for our garden :) John worked on the basement for awhile and William worked on rolling over from his back to his front! We got some video of him working on it - he is getting there. This is the first day we've really seen him actually work on it. A lot of grunting was involved as was kicking of the feet. We're so proud! We are working on uploading video to the internet and sorting through the files - watch for a new VIDEO post soon!

Wheee......

Hah hah....mommy's still in her jammies!


Tee hee! Mommy has no idea how much her arms are going to hurt tomorrow!

11 Weeks Old...Sniff

Today, William is 11 weeks old! Time has gone by pretty fast. We are going to mark the occasion with some pictures to show you exactly how much he has grown. I can hardly believe it! Today we celebrated by going for a long walk outside, out to lunch with my coworkers (they are on spring break), and to an art exhibit with artwork from some of our former students. Then we went out to eat with John (fajitas anyone?) and then to the mall.

Hurray!

Great news! Uncle Mike (McGarry) will be coming home for a visit! He (according to mom) is coming to Rochester on April 29th and staying for 2 weeks! Now we just have to figure out when we will be traveling to meet the final uncle... did I mention we are excited? As soon as we figure out our travel plans, I will post them here and then make reservations at the McGarry Inn or Heidt Hotel.

Friends!

Today William and I were invited to have lunch with some of the women I work with who are on Spring Break. It was fun to see some babies and catch up with my great coworkers and friends. We visited at Stevenia's house before going to eat at the Blue Sky. We had a great time! What I want to know is who decided that it would be 30 degrees during "spring break"? In other news, William has been rolling over a LOT today! We haven't seen this trick very much lately. I think he was inspired by Jacob and Connor in the last week to keep working on his rolling over.

Connor (7 mo), Reagan (almost 5 months), and William (almost 3 months)

Same :)


Reagan and William - can you tell Reagan was born exactly 2 months before William?

Nothings wrong, just testing you! William and his friend Reagan.
