4 weeks old

 

I honestly can't believe that our baby is already 4 weeks old, it has flown by! He is a great baby other than the few days he was fussy & we had to make a formula change. He usually goes 3-4 hours between feedings during the day & at night he has gone 4-6 hours. We are still running on little sleep & Brad has been working 7 days a week for a while now, so I know he is exhausted. Will has been making his sweet sounds trying his best to "talk" to us & has even been trying to smile, I'm still waiting on a real one though. Katelyn is still crazy about her little brother & loves him so much she kisses him all day & tells him how much she loves him.

First Bath

 

Last night Will had his first real bath, his cord finally fell off & I was so glad to give him a bath. He did much better than I expected because our experience with Katelyn's first bath was pretty bad, she screamed the entire time. He cried for a couple of minutes when I first put him in the water & then I think he enjoyed it a little. I love the way babies smell after they have their baths!!

First trip to the Movies

 

 

Getting a little out of order, Katelyn went to the movies for the first time last Tuesday. Gramps, Gigi, & Jennifer took her to see Toy Story 3, they said she did great & loved the movie! I asked my dad to take a picture of her in front of the poster & he told me this is the only one he got. You can tell in the picture she looks like she was ready to go, well she was in a hurry to go use the potty, he said explaining the look on her face. Oh well at least I got a picture! I hated that I couldn't go with her to her first movie, we had planned on taking her before Will got here but never could get around to it. Hopefully we can take her back soon to see something else.

First day of Mother's Day out

 

 

Katelyn started back to MDO last week after taking the summer off. She was so excited & the days leading up to her going back she kept telling me she needed to go to school & take her backpack. I was a little nervous about dropping her of & how she would do because last year she would cry almost everytime I dropped her off. She suprised me this time & walked right into her class with no tears!! She was excited to see me when I picked her up & I rewarded her with a trip to Dairy Queen for ice cream after her first day. I hope she continues to do well when I drop her off, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Sorry for the bad pictures you can tell she had not been up very long & of course she takes pictures like her daddy!

Will meeting more of his family

 

Last week, Will got to meet my grandparents & Brad's grandmother for the first time. It is so special to have these pictures of them holding Will & I'm so thankful they are all still around to see their great-grandson. We still have to take a trip to Tuscaloosa to visit Grandma, Brad's other grandmother & hopefully we will get to do that soon. Will also got to meet his Aunt Rebecca I hate they all had to wait so long to finally meet & hold him for the first time.
