William is a Morning Person

William is happiest when he first wakes up in the morning.  He smiles like crazy!!  We caught some good videos this morning.  Here is typical Will first thing in the morning:

Will is Two Months Old

Will went to his 2 month checkup on Friday, 11/4.  He is now 13 lbs 2 oz and 22.8 inches.  He is growing 3 lbs a month and we can feel it when we hold him.  Especially since we hold him ALL the time.  William does not like to be set down.  Will also got more immunization shots and he was not happy about that.  He cried bloody murder when he first got the shots but went right to sleep when he got in the car.  Since he's been home, he has been pretty fussy which we were warned by the doctor.

William gets bored sitting in one place and starts crying until you stand up.  He prefers to see some new scenery.  During the day, John walks miles for Will....around the neighborhood or in circles in the house.  As you walk him around, his eyes scan everything, focusing on each thing until its out of his site.  I claim his restlessness is becuase William is sooo smart.  His mind is going a mile a minute and just taking everything in so quickly.  He strives to learn more and more.  He can't be held back by Mommy and Daddy's laziness. 

So Mommy is back at work now, which I am very sad about.  I've been at work for 3 weeks now and I miss Will so much during the day.  Daddy is at home now for his 12 week FMLA time off.  John sends me pictures each day so I can see how my boys are doing and what they are up to.  Then I get to show Will off to everyone at work.

At two months, Will now:

1. holds his head up completely on his own
2. lifts his head and looks left to right while lying on his stomach
3. follows an object with his eyes from left to right
4. brings both hands together
5. drools all the time, drooling is new
6. plays with his tongue, sticking it in and out, rolling it, licking his lips
7. makes motions with his mouth, copying you when you make vowel sounds at him (John is of course trying "Da Da")
8. and best of all....Smiling!!  His smiles are becoming more and more frequent.  John actually got one on camera with his phone!

Here is a video of Will copying our mouth movements:

Halloween

William was so cute this Halloween:

We answered the door for Trick-or-Treaters and showed him off to our neighbors.  Everyone thought he was just the cutest thing ever!

William went for a walk on a cloudy day but still needed to be protected from the sun.  He doesn't yet own a hat of his own with a brim, so he borrowed Daddy's Panthers hat.  Doesn't he look cute?!

Here Will and Daddy are sharing some Tummy Time together with their butts in the air.

Leia likes to do Tummy Time with Will also.

Will is so good at holding his head up on his own.  Here he is sitting up with Daddy's support.

Will and his Daddy have some good times together :)

Will loves his swing!!  Thank you Aunt Amanda!  Sometimes he just stares at the mirror or the mobile as it turns in circles.  Hard to tell which one he is focusing on, but he is definitely interested.  That is a big step from his first month!

The Many Faces of William

William's First Smile!

John's first day of his 12 week FMLA Leave was yesterday.  William was so happy he gave his first smile to his proud daddy last night.  Then I got to see it first thing this morning.  He smiled so big it filled his face.  He was even smiling in his eyes.  It was the cutest thing ever!  We can't wait to catch it on camera to be able to share it with everyone.
