William's First Movie!

On Tuesday, August 7th, David and I took William to see the new Spider-Man installment for AMC's Bring Your Baby Matinees at a nearby mall. We had such a great time, and I must say William was one of the best behaved babies there. He just quietly drank a bottle and watched the action both on and off the screen. I would not recommend it if you are really wanting to watch and focus on a film, but David (a HUGE Spider-Man fan!) had already seen the movie and I was happy watching both the movie and the other babies so we had fun. Let me know if you want to go to the next one or the the Angelika's similar Cry Baby Matinee!

My movie dates! I think William looks very much NOT like himself here, silly baby!

One Month!

William turned one month old on Thursday, July 26th. I couldn't believe my sweet little newborn had already been in our lives for a whole month!

One month and happy about it!

So far, he has been the best little guy. He's a great eater and is just sweet and cuddly most of the time. The only reason he gets fussy is if he's hungry, and then he lets us know it pretty quickly! But who doesn't, right? He is on a pretty good three hour schedule, he eats every three hours or when he gets hungry. We usually get up to feed him at 3am, 6am, and he's up for the day at 9am. Dr. T, our pediatrician, told us when he hit 10 lbs. he should be able to sleep six hours, but we've only seen that once or twice. We are dying for him to sleep longer than three hours at a time! We haven't been back to see Dr. T since he was two weeks old and won't be back until his seventh week, but we think William is about twelve pounds and at least 22 inches. He's wearing mostly 3 month sizes and size one diapers. He's really long right now and that's what's pushing him into the bigger size clothes but not too chubby He is working on a couple rolls on his upper thighs. I hope we get some real rolls soon! :) 

We want to take a monthly picture to watch his growth and had a little photo shoot in his nursery. Let's just say it was hysterically funny to watch all of his funny faces! Here are a couple more for your entertainment! I think these will be great blackmail someday. :)

I think Mr. Elephant just said something really naughty!

And it looks like someone is over having his picture taken!

Night Out with Grandaddy and Meme!

On Tuesday, July 17th David and I had our first night out without the baby! My parents gladly kept William and we went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, La Duni, and we saw the movie Ted. William had fun with Grandaddy and Meme too!
They did two of William's favorite things:

 Dinner time with Grandaddy!

Bath time with Meme!

Mommy and Daddy had fun too, but we sure missed the little guy!

Mommy vs. Daddy

William likes to sit with Daddy like this:

But on Mommy like this:

Some more pics from the hospital

Here are a couple more pictures from the first moments of William's arrival that I want to keep around!

William's tag!

Bath time!

William really likes taking baths, especially now that his umbilical cord is off and he can take baths in his cute whale tub! The night his cord came off, I was out with some friends and William was having boy time with Daddy and Uncle Mike. Well, his cord fell off and the guys thought it looked weird! Not only did they call me, but they texted pictures of it to our friend Nathalie who is a second year pediatric resident. She told him it was fine but it was still cute how concerned Daddy and Uncle Mike got.

Here are some pictures of William enjoying bath time, usually with Meme and Grandaddy!

First sponge bath with Meme!

Bath time right before the cord fell off!
