As promised, here is an update on William. William is such a happy baby! He is pretty mellow, too. If you notice, in most of his pictures he has the same expression; it's somewhat of a look of surprise. He does smile - lots, actually. It's just that as soon as the camera comes out, he looks at it with a look of curiosity (and maybe even defiance - just try to get a picture of me smiling, I dare you!) and his smile disappears. We love his cute laugh. He is such a joy in our lives.
Here are his stats as of December 19th.
Weight - 15 lbs 7 oz (70th percentile)
Length - 25 3/4 inches (70th percentile)
Head circumference - 43 cm (70th percentile)
In case you couldn't tell, he's growing quite well! He's well on his way to becoming like this guy.

On a recent trip to Layton, I hung this toy on the bar of William's car seat. He grabbed onto it and then fell asleep. When David put the bar back once we got into the car, he still held onto it. I'm not sure how long he held onto it for, but we thought it was pretty funny.
For a long time, William could have cared less about the toys hanging above his head. Then, one day he actually started to play with them. It's amazing how quickly some things change - how one day they don't notice something, and then it's like BAM! they can't leave it alone! Lovely description - right!
***On a side note, I have read in a few blogs the comment that blogs often turn into brags about kids. If you feel that way, then I'm sorry. I don't, though. I think that people blog so much about their kids because they love them and because they are excited and proud of them. Bragging to me is "my kid is better than your kid", but I don't feel that way at all. I just think that my son is special and wonderful - the same way that you hopefully feel about your child(ren). What else would I blog about instead of my family? Politics - no thanks. The weather - mmm, no. I'm going to blog about what I love, and the thing I love the most is my family.

I never think of you as bragging. I guess my beef is with people who have very boisterous opinions about parenting. Also, it's hard for me to not compare myself to other people. I hope you don't take offense at my comment.
He is very cute, I can't wait to see you guys on Friday!
I love the picture of him with those big wide eyes. So funny. Amen to the blogging about kids. I feel the same way. To me blogging is like a journal and you are supposed to record your kids progress/growth and the funny things they do in your journal. It makes me happy to see parents so in love with their kids.
He sure is cute. I like his big ol head. It reminds me of someone elses big ol head. I like to blog about my kids too, if you can't tell.
Thanks for the visit today - Happy New Year. It was fun playing with William. I love his laugh and the noises he makes.
