Coolest Tub Ever

I finally broke down and bought Will a new bathtub! It is super cute and he loves it! I got it in the baby section at Wal-Mart (I couldn't find it at our local Target but I hear they sell it there as well) and I am so glad I did. It was easy to blow up and is so much fun! The bill quacks when you press it and it also has a suction cup to hang on the wall to dry. He got to try it out yesterday and he just played and played and splashed in it for a good 20 min (with me sitting next to him of course). Totally worth it!!

Loves his Jumperoo!!

We finally introduced Will to his doorway jumper and he absolutely loves it!! He just spins and bounces all over the place and yells! I have a cute video and picture of it! Enjoy:



Bricktown

My parents invited Will and I to go to Bricktown (in OKC) with them last Wednesday. We had a lot of fun! My dad had a business meeting so he dropped my mom, Will, and I off in Bricktown. It sure wasn't what we thought it would be!! We imagined more shopping, but alas there was only 3 stores. Oh well!! They did have a boat tour thing for the little canal they had. I wanted to go on it so I dragged my folks along with me. It was neat. They had some cool bronze statues along the way. This also means that it was Will's first time on a boat of anykind! I have attached a few picks for you to view. Oh - and on the way back I totally got to eat yummy bbq at County Line. YUM!!

Can't get enough of these pictures!!

Just chillin in my chair (6/15/08):

Cereal - 1wk Video

Here is the video from Will eating cereal for a week now. I had to upload it to youtube since it was too big for the blog uploader. Enjoy!

More Cereal

He is doing so well in eating his cereal. Of course, some days are better than others. It is funny, one day he eats it all and the next I can't get him interested! Oh well - maybe it will change when it is with food that has more of a taste. We will see. We have been giving him rice cereal and then at the end of this week we will switch to oatmeal. Once he is used to that for a week or two, we will start introducing the fun stuff! I can't wait for that. I am going to try to make my own baby food and see how that goes! I am excited about that and hope it works out. I already bought some frozen green beans to make my first batch. I just need to buy some ice cube trays and get started! A great site for resources on this is http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/. I can't wait and I hope Will likes it. Here is a video showing Will at his third feeding. See above for the one week feeding!



Boy, cereal sure is messy!!

Rolling Over and trying to Scoot

Well I finally got a good video of him rolling! I swear, everytime I would turn the camera to him he knew it and would just look at it. I got sneaky though!! He has also started to do this thing while on his belly. He lifts his butt up in the air and tucks his knees and pushes like he is trying to scoot! I swear I am so not ready for this. I have a feeling it won't be too much longer till he is fully mobile. Ugh!!!

Will's First Breakfast

Here is a video of Will eating his first bowl of rice cereal! He wasn't quite sure what to think of it but he didn't get upset so that is a huge plus! Enjoy :)

Already 4 Months Old


Growing so fast and so BIG!! We had his appointment today and he is growing like a weed! Mommies milk is doing wonders for him :) He weighs in at a whopping 16lbs 1oz (75%) and is 27" tall (97%). The nurse even measured him twice since he grew so fast since his last appt. We also got the go ahead for starting some rice cereal since he is thriving so well. I will start tomorrow...... it should be interesting and fun! I will have to pump to get the milk for the cereal - ugh! I do not like pumping when I don't have to. Having him on the breast is just so much easier. Hopefully it will get his belly full enough so he starts to sleep through the night consistently. Jake and I want our bed back :) Anywho... He rolls all the time now from back to front - I swear, we lay him down and he immediately rolls himself over. Too cute. He also is very verbal. He is really noisy and loves to yell. It is really cool. He will be a loud talker just like his mommy! I also just got to see some of my baby pics and he has some of my features too! He has my nose and ears - WOOT! He also has my smile that I had when I was a baby. And... for the first time yesterday someone actually said that they could my features in Will too! It was so nice to hear :)

A few videos

Here are a few videos Jake took today of our little angel's laugh. They are dark but you can definitely hear him. Enjoy :)

Our trip to Georgetown, TX

Will and I went down to Georgetown last weekend to help my neice, Ella, celebrate her 3rd birthday. We had a blast and Will had a few firsts. He stayed in his first hotel room, got a bath from his grandpa, he got to ride on his first merry-go-round and his first dip in a kiddie pool! He also rolled for the first time, but I covered that in the previous post :) He was a champ in the car for the 8.5hr+ trips, which was a relief to me no doubt. Will and I sure missed his daddy the whole time though! Here are a few picts from the visit with my brother and his family!
