Well, I've had a few requests recently for an update. Sorry it's been so long! Going back to work has been crazy and I haven't had much time for extra activities. We're getting into a routine though and Will's getting to bed a little earlier so that leaves me a little time at night for things like this. So, since I've last updated there has been a lot of activity! First, Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for a week. It just so happened to be the hottest week in recent VT history. And we don't have air conditioning! I don't think they're coming back in July ever again. But, we had a great time celebrating Ethan's birthday and Fourth of July, taking hikes, and walking in the air conditioned mall. It was even hot enough to take Will to the pool for the first time. He loved it. We tried a return trip a few weeks later but the water had already cooled off too much. Maybe next year. As it is with anyone who has never been alive before, Will continues to have lots of firsts. He recently visited Lake Champlain and dipped his feet in the water twice, met his first dog, took a trip to Shelbourne Farm to meet the animals, enjoyed the Burlington Farmers market, and ate his first food (rice cereal- yum). He's rolling over (back to front mostly and front to back once) and is sleeping on his tummy about 1/2 the time because he rolls over as soon as we put him in bed. He's getting pretty close to sitting and is pretty consistently sleeping through the night. He just had a doctor's appointment and he's 15 pounds- that's 75 %ile for weight and he's 93 %ile for length. All in all a great baby! We can't wait to see what he does next.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Visits from Grandma and Grandpa mean baths outside... lots of fresh air and easy cleanup! |
 |
| Will's first trip up Mount Philo. Glad there were three of us to take turns carrying him up since he didn't like the stroller. |
 |
| First trip to the swimming pool... he doesn't look like he likes it now but he was splashing it up later. |
 |
| Somebody must've said something funny. |
 |
| First time dipping his toes in Lake Champlain. The dog in the background liked licking Will's toes and I think I was scared he was gonna come lick his face. Baby + large body of water + dog = worried Momma! |
 |
| Will is now rolling over and likes to roll over in bed and sleep on his tummy. We love it because it means no more flat head! |
 |
| His new favorite activity is being held up in the air. Guaranteed smiles. |
 |
| Tummy time at the farmers market downtown. |
 |
| First bite of food. Not sure how much he likes it yet. We're starting fruit next weekend which I'm sure he'll love. |
 |
| Hanging out with his friend Raelynn. |
 |
| This is when we know it's time for a nap:) |
 |
| More to come soon! |
