The return of...

I believe Wyatt Erp the 2nd has come to our house for a visit. Seems like I can't put William down for a moment or even move him from place to place without him spreading his last meal all over himself, me, the floor, etc. I have 2 wet burp clothes sitting at my feet, his floor mat has been wiped down twice today and I have had to clean his car seat and bouncy chair at least once. He has been in 3 different outfits and I had to change out the towel in the bathroom we use for diaper changes because it was so wet! Blech! My last complaint is that William only slept for 5.5 hours last night during his first snooze. What is up with that? He did go back down and sleep for another 3 hours as usual, but that put him up at 6:30 am (AM!!!) instead of the 7:30 he has been doing for the past week or so.

In happier news, we managed to clean our bathrooms today, pull weeds in the front yard, do a load of laundry, go for an hour long walk, and spend some time chatting together! William has become a big chatterbox in the last week. I need to see if I can find our digital voice recorder or something because it is too cute. John is still working on how (I think he is?) to put video of William on the internet. Today, for the first time I think, (think) he giggled out loud for the first time. He has laughed out loud several times before, but always in his sleep. We'll keep watching it and hope it turns into a consistent giggle soon - that will help me forget about all the spit up I have been wiping lately.

ps For those of you who don't know, Wyatt Erp #1 would Mike McGarry...

John's pictures ..&Kelly's

We just found some baby pictures of John on a CD we forgot we had....several of me got e mailed to me last night! Here they are for comparison! Too bad I don't know how to set up an actual poll thingee like I have seen on other websites...

68 degrees!

It is a beautiful day outside! William and I took a loooooooong walk earlier for over an hour to enjoy the nice day! With a little snow on Saturday and strong winds for the last week we are so happy to have it warm up. And now to make the MN and ND people jealous - I saw tulips and irises poking through the dirt today when we were out walking! The bad news in all this is that John will probably be out mowing the lawn again in the next couple of weeks -yuck. Not that we'll get much sympathy from you all that are still buried under a bunch of snow!

Here we are today with our cute 6 month outfit on that William got from Mike and Tien! Hard to believe our 1 month old is fitting so well into an outfit labeled 6 months!

Big yawn! Does anyone know where to get a baby toupe?

Sunny Sunday!

This weekend was a slow sort of relaxing time. Saturday we cleaned up the house together and then had a coworker of John's over to see William for the first time. They brought us a yummy lasagna dinner - what a surprise (best part are the caramel chocolate brownies)! Both Friday and Saturday we made time for "dates" and we ended up watching 3 movies together! Yeah us! We also managed to get William's footprints done finally. The handprints were not so successful - we will try them again in another week maybe?

Daddy and William nap after playing.

Today, we went out for lunch to (where else) the steakhouse and then did a walk through Home Depot to check out tile options and a few other items for finishing the basement. We squeezed in a walk through the neighborhood together. Tonight, John is working on taxes and William and I have been hanging out and playing...

Sleeping after a hard day of growing...

Welcome to my crib!

On to another first! I was just wondering how William would do sleeping in the crib when we finally move him out of our bedroom. I worry sometimes (that is a lie, I worry ALL the time about stuff) that he will get used to sleeping in his pack n play and won't be able to sleep in the crib when it comes time. I also worry he is sleeping too much during the day because the closet is so dark without windows. I have put him down in there with the light on, but then I worry it is too bright... I know, I know...I worry too much! Anyhow, today I thought I would just test out the crib and see how it would go during a nap time.

And...there isn't a problem! ...okay that isn't true because the baby monitor is plugged in behind the pack n play in the closet and I'm too lazy to go get it, but I'm worried I won't hear him crying now. I guess I am just doomed to worry about this kid for a long time...

Watching the airplane mobile in my crib!

Anyhow, I put William down in the crib when I thought he was getting sleepy. He spent quite a bit of time looking around and checking everything out - but not crying. Then, he conked out and is still sleeping. I guess I can check that off of my worry list!

Sleeping in my crib!

Say goodbye!

It is time to say goodbye to all of his "baby" clothes...he is barely fitting into his 0-3 month outfits anymore. They will still go on him, but I sometimes feel like I am bending the legs and arms too hard to get him into most of the clothes. The tags all say "up to 12 pounds" and I know he probably isn't quite 12 pounds yet, but I don't want to hurt him either! So, we are on to his 3-6 month section of the closet and drawers! Last night, William and I braved the chilly weather and went to a home party and my coworkers house. He had a bath and then got to wear one of his cousin's cute outfits! We got him all dressed up in his fuzzy green hedgehog outfit and matching socks! We are getting to be such a big boy!
