Update

William is now sleeping through the night!!! He would only eat for a 5 - 10 minutes during the night. Then during his morning feeding he would only eat for 5 - 10 minutes again. So I decided to cut out his night time feeding. I started Wednesday night. He woke up a few times, and I went in and just talked to him until he calmed down. Thursday night he woke up once and only cried for a few minutes and then stopped. Friday night he didn't wake up at all!!! So now he sleeps from about 9 pm until about 7 or 8 am. It's great! He is eating better in the morning, too. It took me a few nights to adjust to not waking up, but I'm happy to say that I, too, am now sleeping through the night! YAY!!!!

So Big!!!!

3 months old!!!!

Time flies so quickly! My little baby isn't quite so little anymore. I weighed him on Saturday and he weighs 14 pounds!!! It's amazing that he weighs that much already since he only weighed 5 lb 12 oz when he was born. Those cute clothes I couldn't wait to put him in are getting too small, and now we are washing the 3-6 month clothes that are also really cute for him to wear. I've learned, though, that the size labeled on the clothing doesn't really matter because William can still fit into the newborn onesie he wore home. Yet he doesn't fit into his 0-3 month gerber onesies anymore. It doesn't make sense, but that's ok! Last night he slept from about 9 pm until 5:30! I tried just changing his diaper when he woke up, but he got really mad and let out the saddest/maddest cry I've heard! So I fed him, and then he was happy and went back to sleep until 8:15.

I enjoy all the precious moments we get to spend together. I love his cute giggle! He works so hard to get it out - soon he'll be laughing at everything!
Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

I love how much William loves bath time! He kicks and splashes and has lots of fun!

He now loves tummy time and will roll over to his back every now and then.

He has gotten really good at holding his head up.

He loves sucking on his hands when he can get them into his mouth.

David and I have started putting him in the Johnny Jumper. He seems to like it; he doesn't quite get what to do though. He'll figure it out soon.

The outfit he's wearing is one of my favorites! And it is now too small for him. So sad.

I love his cute expressions!

I have tried so many times to take a good picture of him smiling, yet this is how most pictures turn out. Hopefully soon I will get his cute smile captured on camera.

He LOVES blowing bubbles! It is so stinkin' cute!

Amy Jones tagged me. I'm supposed to post the 4th picture in the 4th folder in my pictures folder and then tell about the picture. So here it is...

This was taken December of 2006. It was our first Christmas together as a married couple. We had just finished decorating the Christmas tree (aka the charlie brown tree), that's why we are wearing our pajamas.
On the Christmas note, I am SO excited for Christmas this year, I guess because I have a baby to buy for. I can't wait to decorate our Christmas tree!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween this year was great! I found a great costume idea in the Parents magazine. In order to pull it off I needed to find an orange sleep sack for William. But I couldn't find one ANYWHERE! So, I decided to make one and it actually turned out! I also made the aprons for mine and David's costumes. We first debuted our costumes at our ward's trunk-or-treat on the 29th. They were a huge hit! All of the bishopric complimented our costumes. We had numerous kids and adults coming up to us to tell us they loved the costumes. We even had lots of random people take our pictures. On Sunday we met with the 1st and 2nd counselors of our bishopric to be set apart as primary teachers. Both counselors again complimented our costumes. The 1st counselor said that "the highlight of Wednesday night" was our costumes and that they were "unique, refreshing, and cute!" The 2nd counselor said that he really liked them and that our costumes were all that his kids could talk about when they got home from the trunk-or-treat. So without further ado - here are our lovely costumes!

As our cute niece Marcella would say, David and I are "hot dog sellers", which would make William a Hot Dog - bun and all!

This is the only good picture of William with his hat on.

Doesn't he look so tasty!

He didn't really like wearing the hat. He hated when I tried putting it on. I guess it was a little too small!

This is how he feels about being sold for only 50 cents. We went to Sharon Elementary (the school I taught at last year) Halloween morning for the Halloween parade. When we were leaving, we passed by some 2nd graders. One boy said to me with a look of disgust on his face, "You're selling your baby for 50 cents!" We laughed and told him it was a joke. I don't think he got it though.

We spent Halloween night at my parents' house. These are random pictures that I thought were cute. It was definitely a Halloween worth remembering! Happy (belated) Halloween!
