July 15th: We had a visit from a friend of mine, Carla...who I actually met on-line, believe it or not, in a group of moms I belong to from when I was pregnant with Alex. Carla lives in Canada, at this point she was still in Hanover, Ontario but she was in the process of moving to Burnaby in British Columbia all the way out west, so she took some time to come down and visit some of her U.S. buddies. She's going through a difficult divorce and so, unfortunately was not able to bring her daughters with her. We hope to meet Angela and Heather at some point in the future. We had a very nice visit, did a lot of running of kids from here to there, but it was fun having Carla here for a few days. We knew we were keeping her mind off missing her girls! Here's a picture of her with the kids...Katie just loves Miss Carla, and she and Alex were both very sad when she left.
Rich took this picture of Carla and I...he was sitting on the couch, hence the funny angle!
July 19th: Will was 3 months old on my birthday (July 17) but of course, I didn't think to get a picture of he and I together! A few days later we took a couple of 3 mo. pictures...and of course, his professional ones came out super cute!
July 22nd: I called and spoke to one of the nurses at our ped's office, Will was waking up a couple of times per night to eat again and was fussy all through the night. I thought maybe he needed his zantac increased again. She surprised me by suggesting we start cereal, since he was eating so much and had gained so much weight since birth, and if it was his reflux causing him issues, the cereal would help with that also. We went ahead and gave it a shot, none of the other kids ate cereal on their first try, or two or three tries, but this little guy gobbled up his entire bowl and probably would have eaten more! And, he did start sleeping better.
I can't believe I ate the whole bowl!
July 24th: More Katie pictures...Katie took this cute picture of Will cooing at himself in the mirror above his swing! Who is that cute baby??
Katie caught this cute smile after a diaper change...
July 25th: Like his brother and sisters before him, Will can tripod sit already...he lasts about 3 or 4 seconds before toppling, then he fusses until we sit him back up again!
July 26th: Katie was snuggling with Will, and so she asked me to take a picture of him. She often says to me, "I'm so glad you got this baby". Too cute.
July 26th: At it again...he's already able to sit for over 10 seconds before he tumbles over...the kids think it's pretty funny to see him sitting!
July 10th: Here's the sleepin' and swingin' and slumpin'!! Will likes to snuggle with his burp cloth and he will make himself quite comfortable in the swing...though we all take turns sitting him back up because it looks so uncomfortable to us!
