3 months

Mmmmmm!  Doesn't this picture just make you want to nibble those cheeks of his??  Maybe an arm or a leg too?  If you saw him in person, I'm sure you couldn't resist.  My baby turned 3 months this past week, and I am having a hard time with it.  He is growing up too fast for me, if I had my way I'd slow the whole process way down.
William is such a delight to have in our home. It's a breath of fresh air having a baby in our home after what seemed like a long time without one.  He is a good baby, which makes for one happy mama.  Here are some things little B Will has managed to accomplish in the past month.  He is such on over achiever.

• Sleeps great at night!  He wakes up only once in the middle for a feeding.  Maybe once he starts on solids he'll skip that night feeding.
• He puts himself to sleep for naps and bedtime!!  CAN YOU SAY HOORAY!!!!  Love that he does this now.  We wrap him up his his blankie and then lay him in his bed.  Some times he'll fuss a little before falling asleep, but most of the time he just falls asleep.  What a good boy!
• He loves the mornings, it's his happiest time.  He smiles, coos, and will almost laugh with you when he first wakes up.  His fussier time is late afternoon before bedtime, I think he just gets so tired.
• He HATES the bottle and formula now.  DARN IT!  This is what Xander did too, gave up the bottle and would only nurse.  Makes things a little more difficult for me to do anything without him.  Ah well, good thing he is SO cute huh?
• Also, gave up the binkie.  He will sometimes take it, but not usually.  All my boys gave up the binkie very soon, I guess William is the one that has lasted the longest on it.
• He LOVES it when you play with him.  We lay him on his blanket on the floor and try to get him excited about his toys.  He especially likes it when his brothers do it with him, they can keep his interest the longest.
• Has a smile that just melts my heart!  He can also make a pretty good frowny face too, and that melts my heart as well.
• He has discovered his hands, and likes to suck on his fists.
• Also has discovered his voice!  He loves when he can get out good squeal or two and will keep trying for more.
• Bottom line is I love this little boy!  

 This boy still loves bath time!

First time swimming at Grandma's pool, and he loved getting

 in the water with me and his brother's.

With Xander right before getting in the pool.

I had to get a picture of his wet spikey hair.

William and Connor.  Cousins and best buddies.

There is only a 3 month age difference between them,

 my baby looks like a giant compared to his cousin.

Kalyn (pronounced KayLynn)

This post is dedicated to my sister. My favorite sister. My only sister.  And rightfully so, since she is like the only person who reads my blog and simply lives each day of her life so that she can check to see if I've updated it.  Thank you Kalyn, for giving me purpose.  Anyway this is a shout out to her for being such a sweet sister any girl could ask for.  She is always there for me when I've needed her.  Did I ever mention that she flew in town to come and see me the weekend before I had William?  Well she did.  I was very pregnant. Very.  And she dragged me too Ikea, bought me a dresser for the nursery, and constructed it too because Thomas was too busy to do it himself, he was off buying a car or something.  She also waited on me hand and foot and played with kids because I was too fat  pregnant to do so myself.  And she did all of this while in the midst of packing/moving her own family to a different state/home.  She is wonderful. I lub her. And I will spend the rest of my life trying to repay Kalyn for all the sweet things she has done for me over the years.  She has had a rough couple of days and I just wanted to cheer her up, so hopefully this will do it.  This picture makes me laugh, and I think she might laugh too.
