5 Month Update

So William is about 5 1/2 months old now. According to our bathroom scale he was about 19lbs but we'll get the official measurements at his 6 mo appt. on March 9th. Time sure has flown by. He does so many new things now. He sits up (topples over every now and then :), holds his own bottle, and my favorite..plays peekaboo. I have always played it with him and the other day I noticed he kept putting his bib over his face and then finally I figured out what he was doing. He'll wait for me to say "Where's William?" and then he pulls it down real fast and makes a surprise face. He's so much fun, there is never a dull moment. This past weekend we celebrated Lee's 27th birthday. On Friday we went to the park, Lee fished and William and I went for a walk. Then we played with William under some trees..he loved looking at everything around him. Then we had dinner with Amy, Cameron and Hudson and got some great pics of Hudson and William playing together. It went pretty well until William decided to kiss Hudson which means he grabbed his face pulled it to him and licked him. I don't think Hudson enjoyed it very much! Then we spent all day Saturday with Lee's fam and had a great time relaxing and playing Wii.

Yum

We've decided to start calling William "Yum" after my good friend Ruth told us a hilarious story about a lady who named her son Liam but pronouced it Yum because that's how you pronouce the second half of William. Pretty creative we thought! Anywho, Yum started rolling over both ways this past week! He's so funny..he can't decide which way he likes best, on his tummy or on his back so he switches over all the time. He has also started grabbing your face and putting his mouth on your cheek like he's trying to kiss you...so sweet...slobbery, but sweet. He had his 4mo. checkup on the 14th. He weighed 16.8lbs and was 26" long. He was in the 80th percentile for weight and 90th for height. He took his shots like a champ...cried for 30 secs and then was laughing by the time I picked him up thank goodness. You feel so horrible when they're lying there so happy and you know your about to make them cry, even though the nurse does it. You still feel like its your fault! He also has started putting his hand on the side of his head like you do when you act like you're gonna give someone a high five and then you psyche them out. I will post a pic so you can visualize, its hilarious though. Well, I think that's all the news for now. Lee had a good trip to The Netherlands for work, ate a lot of weird food. Apparently everything is served with mayo or some sort of mayo sauce..mmmm. He has posted some pics on his blog.

He looks like my baby pictures only when he's sleeping :)

Sleeping through the inauguration. Guess he got tired of Charlie and Diane saying how in love they are with Obama. I agree William, got a little redundant.

Up high..ohhh...too slow

I LOVE my puppy dog rattle!

I LOVE my daddy! And standing up...

I LOVE the awesome hats my mom makes me wear!

And I LOVE my choo choo jammies and so does my mom.

Oh, yeah...and I LOVE kissing my weesie.

Our boy is growing up...

Its amazing how fast babies change. Its mind blowing really. You can literally watch them learn something new each day. William is now 17 weeks old. He loves to play in his exersaucer, read books and try to turn the pages, do sit ups in his bouncer and his newest feat is eating solids. He LOVES it. It is hilarious. I was warned not to be surprised when he spits everything out and barely gets any down. He was a pro eater from the start. I think he gets that from me.

We had a wonderful Christmas visiting with both families. William even got to spend several days hanging out with his great Granny. Lots of fun memories. Lee and I spent our first night away from William. His Weesie and Papa watched him while we went to the Omni's New Years celebration. We had a great time and lots of laughs (i.e. 70 year olds drinking too much and making out on the dance floor and at our table...yeah,awesome) but we really missed Sir William.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we hope to catch up with all of you soon!
