Trip to Elkhart

We made our first trip up to Elkhart to see my family for the weekend. Here are some pictures of our weekend.

Will with his Papa on Saturday morning

Auntie Hill and Stephen spending some time with sweet Will

There was a surprise party for my Mom's cousin Deb on Saturday night. Will was able to meet my Mom's side of the family!

These next pictures are of Will right after he laughed at his Daddy for the first time! It was music to our ears!

12 Weeks

Our baby boy is getting so big! This past Saturday night he laughed at his Daddy for the first time! Chad and I loved hearing that belly laugh! He also slept through the night again on Saturday night!

He enjoys playing under his jungle gym. Will has figured out how to turn on the music by hitting the toys that hang or by kicking the giraffe. 

Tummy time is getting alot better! Will pulls his head up and pushes up with his hands now!

We took our first long car ride this past weekend to Elkhart. It is usually a 3 hour drive but on the way there between feedings, wet diapers, blow-outs, and a Starbucks stop, it took over 4 hours :)

We transitioned Will on Monday night into sleeping in his big boy crib! It was a sad night when he moved into his nursery!

Will is a Mommy's boy and this picture proves it! The outfits we make our children wear! :)

We leave you with a precious picture of our sweet Will smiling! Have a great week!

9-10 Weeks

I know I have said this before, but I can't believe how fast time goes with sweet Will! We just try to be thankful for every second with him and be content at whatever stage he is at! We are starting to see more of his sweet personality. He loves to nurse, laugh, smile, coo, "try" to eat his hands then gag himself :), listen to his Daddy play the guitar, sing and look at his hands. He is weighing in at 14 lbs 3 oz! He is now in a size 2 diaper! I tried to continue to use the 1-2 diapers we had and stretch it out, but I learned very quick after 3 times of poop leaking out on his clothes it just wasn't going to work! We have retired a lot of his 3 month clothes already and are pretty much in 3-6 month clothes.Enjoy some pictures of him from the past few weeks!

This is a great Saturday picture of my two favorite men!

We are trying to work on Will taking a pacifier. He will take the pacifier from his Daddy pretty well, just not from his Mommy!

Will grabbed his first toy last week!

He likes to try to fit his fists in his mouth, sometimes he even tries to get both in his mouth!

We love this smiling boy so much!

Auntie Natalie, Uncle Jeff and Reese came to visit us this week when they were on spring break. We had a great time with all of them. Reese got to go to the Children's Museum and she loved it!

I love this picture of his chunky thighs!

2 Months Old

Will was officially 2 months old on Tuesday the 22nd. We went to the Pediatrician for his 2 month check up. Will is 13 pounds! He is in the 90th percentile on the growth chart! He is a big boy! Healthy and happy growing boy! He had to get 3 shots and cried for just a second until I picked him up and he just wanted his Mommy to love on him! Will is starting to blow bubbles and make noises with his lips. He loves to coo and smile all the time!

This is Will right before we left for his 2 month check-up

Chad plays the guitar for Will and just recently he has started to almost dance in his bouncer! He moves as much as his body as he can and chimes in with his take of the song at different points! He starts moving as soon as Chad starts playing and singing!

Will let Mommy have a little photo shoot with him! He is just so precious! In the next month or so, we will be getting professional family pictures! Can't wait! Enjoy the rest of the pictures! Have a great weekend!

 Check out the precious wings on his back! He is our little angel!

8 Weeks Old!

Will is 8 weeks old now! Tomorrow will be 2 months and our lives are all the better for this precious little baby! Will has slept through the night twice now! We usually start our morning around 5:45-6:00. This precious boy has made me into a happy morning person now! :) How could you not love waking up to sweet Will?



I love those little cheeks! They are the best! Will likes to nap in his swing during the day! Will has grown out of all of his newborn and then most of his 3 month gowns. We finally got him some real big boy nightgowns! I think he looks a lot better in blue instead of just yellow and green!

Will sitting in the big chair!

Cousin Reese came down to visit with Nana and Papa last weekend! Reese does such a good job holding Will in the chair. She loves her cousin Will!

Will loves to hear his Daddy play the guitar! Will kicks his little legs and moves his arms and coos at his Daddy.

Nikki got Will this precious onsie with a tie sewn on! It makes him look like such a little man!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Will likes to talk to his Gram and Grand Dad!

The Mockaitis Family came over to bring us a delicious roast and see Will! Charlie and Will got to meet for the first time! Charlie is 7 months old and Will is 8 weeks old in the picture.

Cami came to visit sweet Will. We had such a great time spending the afternoon together!

Just some other adorable pictures of my two favorite men! I love these two so much!

Auntie Hill Visit

Hillary came into town on Monday to watch Will when I was at my Community Clinical. The count down has begun until graduation! I will officially be done with my Masters on May 6th! Can't wait! Thank goodness Will won't ever remember his Mommy in school! He is more precious than ever! The other night he woke Chad and I up about 2 am cooing and talking. He must have thought it was a good time to say hi to us! It made us both smile and laugh!

Will is sitting in his Auntie Hill's lap and enjoying his time with her!

Will smiling at his Auntie!

This is one of the first pictures that I have taken with Will since we have been home from the hospital! Nothing is better than a Mommy with her baby boy!

Another picture of the way that sweet Will loves to be held!

Tummy Time! Will has progressed to pick his head up and move it from side to side! He only likes to do tummy time for a few minutes! We will continue to work on it!
