Willy had his first swim lesson yesterday. As with everything else, he was pretty much fearless!

Father's Day 2010

It's been a while but we've all been busy. Here's a little video that shows how much Willy loves his Daddy...

Willy Makes Some Noise

Look what Daddy got him to do...but Gram started it.

Willy at 6 months...

Somehow, half a year has gone by since we had Willy Boy. I can't believe it and yet, it seems like we've always had him.

He had his 6 month check up today. He's 28.5 inches long and weighs 18.2 pounds. 90th percentile for height and 75th for weight jn his age group. Such a healhy boy!

Willy and the Yams

He's not a fan....

Willy Eats Some Rice Cereal

Well, he didn't hate the cereal but as you'll see, he didn't love it either....

Willy's 4 Month Check Up

Weight: 16 pounds, 3 ounces

Height: 26 inches

The doctor gave us the all clear to start solids! Look for some funny videos coming soon. Willy got another shot but he took it like a champ. He was more angry about having to be undressed and then dressed again. Afterwards, as you can see, he was sleepy from the whole trying experience...

Giggly Willy

Willy is finally starting to react to things by laughing. It's the best sound in the whole wide world!

Willy and the Exer-saucer

Little by little, our little dude us getting more and more coordinated. Look at him turn himself around in his exer-saucer to grab at the toys!

Willy v. The Shots

Willy had shots today...he almost made it without crying but then he got his last shot and he lost it! He was really mad- the kind of crying where no sound comes out, it's just him shaking and turning purple.

He's sleeping soundly now...with a little help from infant Tylenol.

Willy Rolls Over1

He did it for the first time the other day but, of course, when we got out the video camera, he didn't do it anymore. I finally got it on video today. Such a strong little guy!

Willy and The Johnny Jump Up

Although he doesn't really "get" the concept of jumping yet, Willy already loves his Johnny Jump Up. we can't wait to get video of him jumping away!

Splish Splash!

Willy realized he can splash around in the water during bath time...

Kicking Around

William is never still. Never. He's always moving around- as you can see in this video!

Hi there

Willy and his Bumbo chair...the picture that should have been sent in to Good Day Sacramento

Greg is on the blogosphere... Everyone watch out

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be adding everything that I think you all should know. Love you all

People Let Me Tell You 'Bout My Best Friend...

So, when we found out we were having a baby, people were foaming at the mouth to tell us how jealous and resentful our dog, Lincoln, would be of the baby. See, we (Ali...) spoiled Lincoln. He's been king of the castle from day one.

It has been quite an adjustment for poor Lincoln. He is jealous of the baby but he doesn't show it in the way you might expect. He's always been a vocal dog that lets you know he wants something by whining or howling...and now he's a bit louder. he dances around at the feet of people holding Willy and tries to sit in between Willy and whoever is paying him any attention.

Most of the time, however, Lincoln can be found laying at the foot of Willy's crib or, as you see in the photo, laying near Willy and looking at him. And don't get us started on the "drive-by licking" Lincoln does when Willy's in his swing or bouncey chair! And Willy loves Lincoln in return. He coos and smiles at him and tries to grab him. We can only imagine their love affair will grow stronger when Willy starts to drop food on the floor...

Oh Christmas Tree

William was underwhelmed with the whole thing but Mommy and Daddy had fun.

Snow in Fair Oaks?

One night, it actually snowed in Fair Oaks! Greg and Lincoln went out to capture it on video and Linky got to play fetch with a snowball...

Willy Boy

Born October 25, 2009, weighing in at 9 lbs. 14 ozs., 21.5 inches long. He's already changed so much and he's only 2 months old!

With a Purpose...

With the addition of William to our family, we obviously have tons of pictures and videos to share with everyone. Rather than bombard your in-boxes with a ton of attachments, we decided to start this blog where we can post all that stuff and post updates all in one place. That way, you can follow us and check in every once and while or not- we'll never be the wiser!
