William's 1 Month Old!


Yesterday William turned 1 month old.  My friend MaryEllen also just had a baby, Eliot, who turned 1 week old the same day!  So, we went out to lunch to celebrate.  Both boys slept the whole time and we got to compare notes.  I think these two are going to be great friends someday.  Can you tell who's holding who??

IU Friends Reunion/ Photo Extravaganza


Will getting tub bath #2. He loves the water.

My greatest college friends came to visit for the weekend and to meet Will. What a weekend! We had a blast catching up and taking about a hundred pictures, maybe more. Will loved all the attention- it was the best behaved he's been since he was born. I think he likes a lot of noise and when you get the 5 of us together, a lot of noise is what you get! We took lots of walks, went out to dinner on church street (first dinner out!) and I picked up some great tricks on how to entertain babies from Katie and Erin who are experts. Jenny experimented with her new camera, hence all the great shots, and Beth showed off her new baby skills that she's mastered with her new nephew, Donovan. It was a short but wonderful weekend. Girls, we have to do this more often!





He loves diaper changes!


Hanging out with Katie who has the magic touch.


Out for a walk along Lake Champlain.


Getting strapped in for a car ride.


Peacefully asleep.


Beth and Erin tied him up in his nightgown (aka. man-dress), and he loved it... for a few minutes.


With Erin, waiting for dinner.


Asleep in Jenny's arms.


Looking good!


At the Ben and Jerry's on Church street... a Vermont treat.


The cows are out on church street and we're not sure why but thought it was a great photo-op.


Out to eat at American Flatbread.


Dad and baby outside the restaurant.

9 pounds 8 ounces, 23 inches

Today was William's third doctor's appointment and he did great.  He's gaining weight like crazy and is in the 95th percentile for length... must take after dad!  We've had a great week with mother's day, his first tub bath, and a couple of outings for lunch and dinner with friends.  Turns out, Will likes crowds and will sleep through just about anything.  Dad has also had fun experimenting with Will's flexibility... see below.  


Daddy and baby, hand in hand.


Yum!


After a hard day's work.


First Mother's Day.


Wide eyed.


Doing what he does best.
