We had Will's one month check-up on Friday, March 19. He weighed 10 lbs 6 oz and measured 21 3/4 inches long! What a growing boy! Here are some pictures to prove the point.
We enjoyed lots of warm and sunny weather last week! So, we "re-opened" the sandbox.
Aunt Heather and cousin Decker were in town for a few days during their spring break. I couldn't resist taking this picture of Will! He's just over one month here.
Daddy hanging out with Will . . . . this is Will at just under 4 weeks.
He continues to be a "hot commodity" in our house, completely causing disagreements about who gets to hold him first or next or longest . . . . This is Will at 3 weeks.
This is Friday, March 19, enjoying the beautiful sunshine and warm weather . . . those socks were given to him by cousin William - Michael Jordan #23 socks. Both Decker and William hope our little Will loves basketball like they do!

Here he is with cousin Decker. Just a little bit longer than Decker's hands.
Decker and Heather with all our kids!

4 children: week two

All the girls still adore little Will. Samantha will say, "Mommy, my lap."
There are definitely some crazy times in the house now that I'm alone during the day. There is nothing like breastfeeding to keep a mom in her chair and unable to intervene. Here's some good fun Samantha cooked up. She has a baby t-shirt on her head and was alternately climbing on the tiger (still, "My roar") jumping to the couch and then jumping from the couch onto the tiger. Oh my, Will has a great playmate waiting for him to get bigger.



Here are some of the goings-on in our house this week:

Will got his thumb in his mouth twice! He loves his paci, too!

Anna Kate lost her first tooth on Monday! She was eating an apple and came into the room I was in and asked, "Mom, is this a piece of apple or my tooth?" She was delighted that the tooth fairy indeed did visit Monday night!

We have had some nice days, and, as a result, have been able to easily venture outside to play! My children are proving themselves to be true northeasterners, as they shed jackets and mittens on Monday, complaining, "I'm too hot!" It was only 40.

Here's the proof:

Look how cute he is with his hands folded. He loves his hands! Holding them together, touching anything nearby, trying to get them in his mouth . . . .
