Although he may not be that photogenic yet, he is really darn cute! Bill is determined that he won't play round ball, but I say otherwise :-)...

It has been awhile since we updated the blog...sorry! This parenting thing is a bit time-consuming, but totally worth it! I had to take this picture yesterday of Bill and Will...already, like father, like son! It was too cute.
Will is really growing! We went to the doctor last Monday (he was 5 weeks) and he had gained nearly 2 lbs and grown an inch (10lbs, 12oz and 21 inches long).

Milestones

Even though everyday seems like a little miracle in itself, we have things happen that really are exciting. This week Will slept in his own bed for the first time in his life, he took a nap today in his own room and I would say that this week he will actually look in the direction of a person's voice. He had a stuffy nose earlier this week, so Bridget took him to the doctor. He was fine, no fever and the runny nose was not that bad, but he now weighs over 11 pounds and grew about an inch since his 2 week check-up. It is amazing how fast they grow. Bridget has one more week home with Will full time. It really is a blessing that we are able to live close to family and have the support that everybody has given us, we both are extremely grateful. Will had a day full of visitors yesterday, uncle Danny stopped by and we went to Jason's to eat lunch, then Becca Jones came by and we went over to Uncle Doyle and Aunt Katie's to watch the Tech/OU game, which is another story in itself (what a blowout!). We will try to post a picture later today or this week, Will is just not that photogenic yet. We look forward to seeing family over Thanksgiving and if we do not get to see you, have a safe and wonderful holiday. Oh, beat the hell outta t.u.!!!!!

The miracle of life continues to change every day. Will and mom are doing great. He seems to grow and develop more personality each day. Even though it is hard leaving him every day to go to work, it gives me a special perspective on how much he changes. Bridget loves staying home with him, but I tell you with just spending a weekend at home I can say it must be an exhausting job! We have had lots of visitors and these two pictures show how much he has grown in just a couple of weeks. Our dear friends Chris and Stacy's baby was born Wednesday and Bridget and Will got the chance to go up to Austin and welcome J. D. into the world. Congrats y'all!

Will loves bouncing on the ball with Grandma!

Truly amazing

Well no matter what you feel about the outcome of the recent general election, it really was historic and Will got to experience it with mom and dad! Since our last entry Will had his first doctor's appointment and all is well. He is growing like a weed! He moved up to the next diaper size this weekend and everyday he seems to change a little. It was hard to tear myself away from Will and Bridget, but I went to a wedding for some dear friends of ours this past weekend in Colorado. Bridget and Will hung out in Austin and spent time with Nanna and got to go on walks with Romina and Cecily. Everyday things seem to get easier and easier for Bridget. Will seems to be getting into a routine and gives her some blocks of rest. We are learning everyday and it has been so helpful getting advice from friends and family. Beaux and I probably sound like two women talking on the phone about our kids, but it is so great having the chance to share this experience with others. I am convinced that Will was upset that I was leaving in the picture below.

Night out on the town

We finally got Bridget out of the house and Will did pretty good. We went out to eat with Nanna and Grand-daddy at the Huisache here in town. He did not sleep through dinner as we had hoped, but he let Bridget at least eat her meal. Bridget's mom came down to help Bridget today and she is feeling a lot better than yesterday. I tell you, this nursing thing is TOUGH! We have had lots of visitors. My mom, who has not requested any particular grandma name, came by to visit late last week with Aunt Daw and Becky. PaPa came by on Halloween on his round about way to Austin to see Camden and Cecily. If nothing else, having Will around makes us a little more popular. It really is great to see everyone! Thanks again for all the love and support.
