Pictures and Video

Will Talking...

William Crying- I think he is even cute when he is grouchy!

 We were attempting some tummy time and I looked over to see that he had fallen asleep!

 Slept this way for over an hour. So precious!

 I can finally get him to smile for pictures!

 Here is William with a big smile on his face, Daddy's toy from when he was a baby, and his Big Snoopy Buddy!

 This one's for you Grandma Debbie! Thanks for sending Daddy's toy!

Tried the Bumbo for the first time tonight! He likes it!

Photo Shoot

We were able to have a student come in and do a small photo session for us! These were taken just over William's 1 month birthday. Here are some of the shots!






























Will is Two Months

Wow, 2 months have come and gone! I apologize for not updating lately. I have gone back to work full time and boy has it been busy. This was a busy month for Will and our Family:
 Will's first pair for jeans! He loves to lay on Mom and Dad's bed. Here he is almost ready for the day waiting on Mom and Dad to get going!

 Such a cutie! He is loves his pacifier.

 Here he is watching his Snoopy Mobile in his crib

 Will is happy 95% of the time. However, he does have a little personality with a big voice! Here he is showing his frustrating with not getting what he wants.

 So sad, yet so cute!

 Oh, pouty face.

 Grandma and Grandpa Parker came for a visit! It was so great to see them and spend time with them. Grandma and Will were fast buddies.

 Grandma Parker was an excellent burped, hugger, kisser, and play buddy!

 She also changed many a diaper while she was here, with only Will's smiles and babbling as payment.

 Will and Daddy playing... Will doesn't giggle yet but when he does I know that he is going to laugh at his Daddy! Daddy is so silly!

 Grandma Parker, William, & Daddy

 Grandpa Parker, Will, & Daddy

 These three have many many many similarities! They sleep the same, smile the same, and have the same facial features!

 I have baby pictures of Justin that I need to scan so you can really see the similarities! More photo's to come!



 Smiles for everyone

 Thanks for the visit! We had such a great time taking walks, touring a bit, going out to eat, and shopping!

 Lounging around!

 Reading with Mommy

 This is a great book! Thanks Erin

 Here Mommy, I will help you turn the page.

Fast Asleep...
My dear friend Jessi Conrad came up from Madison to visit Will and I. We had a wonderful visit and feel so blessed to have such an amazing friendship!

Events not captured on film (or video):
William's 6 week Dr. Appointment. He weighed in at just under 12 pounds and continuing to grow like a weed. Will (as well as Mom and Dad) survived the shots portion of the appointment. Will cried (Mom did a little too) but we both quickly recovered and he had no side effects!

He has outgrown all of his newborn to 3 months clothes, so we are comfortably in 3-6 month clothes, but I believe before too long he will be in 6-9 month clothes! Lucky I didn't buy ahead too much or I would have miss calculated. In April and May I'm hitting up some consignment sales and city wide garage sales.

With all of this gorgeous weather we have been taking a few walks in the stroller. William is very curious of his surroundings so he loves the walks but usually falls asleep with the motion, sounds, and fresh air.

When Justin and I overlap work schedules we have hired some of my staff members to come in and sit for Will. He loves them and they love him! I feel so lucky to have the flexibility in my job to be so close to him. I can often times take him to work and almost always come home to nurse him multiple times during the day. My staff are so caring towards him; I love coming home and seeing that he is being played with, cuddled, and kissed by these caring ladies.

Sleeping has come leaps and bounds! William (knock on wood) is sleeping through the night...in fact he is sleeping around 10+ hours every night! as well as multiple naps during the day!!! Just in time. Although many times Mom and Dad get bored waiting for him to awaken we do love our sleep too. We are better parents and employee's when we receive a good nights sleep!

I believe that is all for now folks!
Oh, Justin wasn't here to edit this post, so I apologize for the mistakes.
