He smiled!

William smiled at me today! It was a genuine smile - a responsive smile! I was talking to him and he gave me a great big smile! SO CUTE!!!! Now I just need to get a picture of it. I've been waiting for this! I saw on the news a while ago how a baby's smile provides his mother with a natural high. I now know what they mean!

In other news, William is now one month old! We weighed him this past Saturday and he weighed almost 9 pounds! He probably weighs 9 pounds now! He has cute chubby cheeks! I love it! Here are some pictures from September 17th. I love his expression in the bottom right picture! And I don't know why his head is chopped off in some of the pictures. I'll figure it out, I'm new to Picasa.

When William isn't swaddled he sleeps in a pretty funny position. It looks very uncomfortable, but he seems to like it! These were taken when he was three or four weeks old.

William loves looking at our couch! I think he likes the contrast in the colors and the pattern.

On Sunday we were at my parents house. Shannon came over with her family. Lizzie loved EVERYTHING about William! She kept rubbing his head and poking him. She loved holding him (with my help of course) and putting him in his car seat. Then she stole his pacifier! I guess she loved that too! The second picture is really blurry, but I just had to post it because it is so cute and funny!
