Born in 2007

If you look closely at this picture, you can see that Will's onesie says Born in 2007. And if you're born in 2007, you have to have BabyLegs....even if you're a boy (sorry buddy). I like to go to this mommy message board and ALL of the babies have them. At first, I thought they were only cute for girls and was a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to get any....but then all of the boy mommies started buying them too and I couldn't resist. Besides, they are supposed to be really good for crawling around the house (when he starts crawling) and it makes for easy diaper changes because you don't have to take any pants off.

I bought 2 pairs of them before he was born and couldn't wait to put them on him....but when he got here, I realized I didn't have anything cute to go with them. Then I found this hat and onesie at Old Navy for only $5 and it was the perfect outfit! I'm keeping my eye out for something to go with the other pair....and who knows, I may have to buy him a few more pairs. I'll have to hide them from Chris though....he's not a big fan, to say the least. But Will seems to be enjoying them, right? That's all that matters.

Busy Weekend

I just remembered that I need to blog about our busy weekend before we get to a new weekend. On Friday night, Chris and I chaperoned Will and Ellie's first date. It was pretty entertaining. Ellie had to show Will how to play with some of his toys.

Will dressed up for the date. I'm sure they will both hate me for this someday. But for the record, Chris was the one that put Will's arm around Ellie. Typical guy.

As a side note, Chris told me that him and Ben (Ellie's dad) were talking about pacifiers and potty training at lunch today. According to Chris, "Madelyn still likes diapers." Madelyn is Ellie's sister and she's only 2, but Chris still doesn't understand why Will would want to "poop all over himself." After Chris changed Will's first dirty diaper in the hospital, he said, "Dude, just tell me next time you want to do that and I'll hold you over the toilet." Anyway, I just thought it was funny - two daddies, sitting at lunch, talking about things mommies usually talk about. Stacee - Can you believe Chris actually told me what they talked about without me even asking?

On Saturday morning, we went to the Tech football game, which I already blogged about below. That afternoon, we took Will to his first costume party. I've been playing Pokeno with a group of girls this year and we had a Fall Festival with our families instead of playing Pokeno this month. It was a lot of fun! I wish I had gotten a picture of all the girls....I'll have to remember to do that next time.

As you can see, Will has learned to stick out his tongue. It really cracks me up. The first time he did it was at my mom's Bible study last week. He was looking at her while she was talking and he kept sticking his tongue out as far as he could. It was hilarious.

Sunday morning was Will's baby dedication at church. My mom bought him the cutest little outfit and he looked adorable.

Sunday afternoon, we went to Abi's birthday party and Will got to be a penguin again. He was a mad little penguin this time.

Apparently, being a penguin for a weekend is hard work.

One last picture of the most precious penguin ever!

Lil' Red Raider

We took Will to his first Texas Tech football game today. He had a lot of fun and did really good! Raider Red came down the stairs next to where we were sitting and literally picked Will up from out of the crowd. It was very exciting! Chris was holding him and wasn't sure if he should hand him over or not, so he looked at me and said, "What do I do?" I said, "GIVE HIM TO HIM!" I mean talk about the perfect photo opportunity for his first ever TTU football game! Yet another reason why I'm glad I keep a camera in the diaper bag.

His shirt says Lil' Red Raider.

We have had and are still having a very eventful weekend, so I'll have to blog about everything else later.

New Trick

Will's new trick at 3 months old is....standing!

I like to sit him up in the corner of the couch like this to take pictures of him...

Yesterday, he decided he would rather stand in the corner of the couch. Sitting is for babies. Here he is pushing himself up...

And he's standing at once...

Aren't these pictures hilarious, by the way?

Here are some other things I need to remember about him:

- He is smiling all the time now. It really doesn't take much to get him to smile when he's in the mood. We'll catch him smiling in his carseat at his toy that hangs from the bar.

- My mom and Chris have both gotten some pretty good laughs out of him this last week. Chris can really get him giggling and it is so cute. He's also laughed a few times when I'm laughing.

- He has rolled over a few times. I don't think he has ever done it intentionally, though. The first time was a few weeks ago. I put him on his tummy for tummy time and as soon as I put him down, he pushed up on his hands and rolled over. He's never done that again. Then he did it a couple of times in a row at my parent's house this week. I was changing his diaper on the couch and when I was finished, I just played with him there for a few minutes. He rolled over towards the back of the couch a few times, but I think he probably just did it because it was slanted that way a little and made it easier to rollover. I haven't seen him even attempt to try when he is playing in the floor.

- He follows me around the room with his eyes....especially if I'm talking. He's done this for awhile now.

- He has grown out of 2 of his 0-3 month pajamas, but he can still wear all of his other 0-3 month clothes. Hopefully he will fit into his 3-6 month clothes when it gets really cold.

- He still loves the bath. When he gets fussy right before bedtime, all we have to do is turn on the bath water and he instantly calms down. Even though he still loved it, he was getting too big for the hammock in his aquarium tub, so we took that part out. He doesn't seem as comfortable in the tub without the hammock, so we're in the market for a new one, but I haven't found anything I like. Any suggestions?

- He loves getting his diaper changed. Chris and I have pretty much decided that he loves anything that has to do with us "pampering" him. He's even started holding his legs up on his own.

- He sings along with me when I sing to him. Maybe he'll turn out to be a better singer than Chris and me. He may need some better influences though.

We have videos of a lot of these things. Maybe someday Chris will put them on the computer and I can share them here (hint, hint).

Jesus Saves

I love the song, Embracing Accusation, on Shane & Shane's new cd. So good and so true.

You can listen to it on my myspace page or if you're not friends with me, you can listen to it on their myspace page. And you can read the lyrics here.

Got milk?

It's good, I promise.
