April 30th 2009, Still Smiling 2 months, 3 weeks, 6 days


I weighed William on Tuesday at the BABIES clinic in Silverton. He's up to 12lb 4.6oz! Since his 2 month apt on the 8th, he's gained over a pound. Yes, the car seat gets heavier by the day (o: For those who are wondering, a baby gains weight rapidly for the first 3-4 months and then starts to slow down. At the rate he's going, he'd by the size of a seven year old by age one! Good thing God plans out their growth perfectly....It truly is amazing.

Apparently William like to stick his tongue out when he smiles. I caught another one of his cute moments in this picture. He's the most smiles and giggles in the morning (as most babies are). He's come to really like bath time and it's been fun to talk to him while giving him a bath and seeing him smile and make his noises while kicking and splashing the water. Curtis made sure to catch a bit on videotape yesterday.

And the most exciting news of all....William slept through a 7 hour stretch of sleep the other night! Yipee! Of course, last night was a little different story, but hey...a 7 hour stretch every once in awhile...works for me (o:

Jan. 25th, 2010 Not long before he'll be running!

William's been progressively showing us how he's learning to walk on his own; no mommy or daddy's hands to hold onto. It's pretty cute, cause he'll look at something he wants that's a ways away and just stare like he's thinking about how to get there. Then, he'll just take off and see how far he can get before he falls. I finally captured a few moments on camera...(okay, so I couldn't figure out how to get them right side up. It's not like I shot them sideways!...so sorry)

A Bountiful Harvest

As many of you know, I enjoy gardening.   It’s changed a bit over the years…we lived in Portland with room for only a few tomato plants, we moved to the country where I inherited a 4000sqft piece of gardening freedom where I planted LOTS, I had William and planted a little less and then I had Calvin and let the weeds semi take over (o;   Needless to say, my love for the dirt and watching things grow hasn’t changed.   It’s been fun to see William’s hands in the dirt while we plant, as well as his excitement as he sees a tiny green leaf poke through the soil.   Calvin, well he’s learning to love dirt too…the taste that is.   I’m sure, as he grows, that he’ll learn to love an aspect of it too (even if it’s simply a dirt clod fight with his brother…I can see it already). And this is how the cupboards (and the freezer, and the dehydrator…) are filled… Preparing the soil    Mounding up the rows… Strawberry picking with friends (William 3 ½y, Peter 2 ½y, Calvin 7

March 25th, 2009 First SMILE! 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days

Image
William has given us a few "for real" smiles over the last couple days. Not the ones that come across his face while he's sleeping (from either gas or a dream about his mamma's milk), but the ones that tell us he's starting to focus and respond more to our voices. I was at home alone when he did it for the first time. He fixed his gaze on me while I was talking to him and smiling at him and after he looked like he was thinking about it for awhile, he did it...he smiled! It made me so happy inside and I had no one to share it with-not even a picture to prove it! It's neat how something so little can be something so BIG. Since then he's charmed dad with his smile. I finally caught some on the camera today. He gets all excited and starts moving around a lot so some have some blurry hands in them. His head is a bit cut off as I was taking the pictures myself and didn't realize it until he was done smiling. You can still see how cute he is though
