6 Months...Where has time gone???

Our little boy is 6 months old today. Can you believe that???? Didn't I just deliver him? How can he possibly be a 1/2 year old? We try and try to slow down time, but it keeps on moving. I know the next 6 months will fly by and I'll be here freaking out that he's already 1. Will had his 6 month check up today and weighs 21.5 lbs and 28 inches long. He's cutting his upper teeth and has ear aches in both ears. But he's old enough for motrin now, so that will help dull the pain a bit longer and his doctor gave him meds for his ears. Here are a few pictures of Will since he was born.

Will at 28 weeks in my belly. See, we knew he had chubby cheeks from the start!

Minutes after he was born. Who knew a babies cry would be music to our ears.

All bundled up at the hospital.

His first day home. Oh, he was so precious and peaceful.

First trip to the lake at 3 1/2 weeks old.

Will's first experience in the lake. He wasn't quite sure about this!!!

A little over 2 months old; this was the first smile I captured.

Not quite 3 months old, our little bear for Halloween

4 months old; Daddy's little hunter!

4 months old; Happy Thanksgiving!

4 1/2 month Evil Elf! Christmas was so much fun this year.

5 months old; New Years weekend, he's a little lake pro now!

5 1/2 Months and first ear infection and first 2 teeth.

I'm 5 1/2 months and I found my feet.

This week; Let's go sky diving, I'm really good!

6 months old; if I could just get this belly off the ground, I'd be off!

Happy 1/2 year Birthday baby boy, you are the greatest thing that ever happened to your daddy and I.

Belated Christmas at Nana's

These pictures are from Christmas so he's grown a bit since then, but I had to share them. Aunt Wendy got the pictures to me this past weekend of Will from Christmas at Nana and Grandpa Mike's.

This is Baby Grace's boucny seat. Aunt Wendy brought it over so Will could play in it. The speakers on the side were belting out some good tunes and Will was determined to eat them. His facial expression was cracking us up; he was trying so hard.

This is Will's alphabet bear that Nana got him. He loves this little bear, when Michael and I took it away to open more presents, he flipped out!

So, the bear came out of the box for us to play. Along w/ some play time in the wrapping paper, which was his favorite thing about Christmas...eat the paper!!!

And, hear we all are after we opened all our presents...and the bear!

"Rubber Duckie Your the One"

Come on sing along! See my new bath seat? I really really like my new duckie! It quacks too; kind of scared me at first, but now I think it's funny! Aunt Wendy told mommy about this bath seat, so mommy got me one to try. I sit in it really well, I can play in the water w/out mommy having to squeeze my arm off and I don't topple over into the side of the bath tub. And watch out Grammy, me and my rubber duckie are coming to the pool this summer!!!!

Am I teething again???

I've got all the symptoms again, runny nose, biting on everything, I have a pretty bad cough, but not in my lungs (mom had me checked) so it must be teeth again....maybe! Look how big my new teeth have gotten, I can bite the poo out of you w/ these bad boys.

Dad bought me a onesie when he was in Vegas that says "Pinch your own damn cheeks" Pretty funny I thought!!!!!

I sure missed dad while he was gone, I just need some love papa bear!!!!

My Toy Basket

Look what I found....

"Mom showed me this and WOW, what have I been missing??? I like to hold the handles and kick my toys."

"Wait...look way back there, what's in this thing???? If I could just get back there..."

"See my stackable star toy? I have a love/hate relationship with this thing! It is so fun, but very frustrating when those stars won't come off the stick!"

I Miss My Daddy!

Daddy is out of town this week and man I miss him. Mom put the phone up to my ear the other day and when daddy started talking I kept looking all over for him. What the heck is with this phone contraption???? Well, I can't wait for him to get home to play with me. A week is way too long for him to be gone. I'm sure I'll have grown an inch in daddy's eyes when he gets home. Mommy is trying to keep me entertained, but let's face it, daddy can really crack me up. So hurry home daddy, I'm ready to see you!!!

While you've been gone I went to Grammy's house. Grammy bought me this new toy when she went to get Baby Grace and Baby Daniels their baby shower presents. (I'm not going to spoil the surprise of what they got, but I'll just say it's not my toy!!!)

This thing is pretty cool, my favorite thing to do w/ it is throw it from the highchair, but biting on it is pretty fun too.

Pastor Ray came over to see us too, I was talking to him in this picture. Mom really wished she had the video camera on this one, I was going nuts here.

Mom said today we aren't doing much, but tomorrow; Nana and Grandpa Mike are coming to see me. I can't wait to play with them and get tons and I mean tons of kisses and hugs from Nana! Friday get here quick! Then daddy comes home saturday. Man, it's going to be a good weekend!

The countdown is on....

In less than a month I'm going to have a new cousin and a new friend! Mommy told me Baby Grace (my new cousin) will be here in just a few weeks. Aunt Wendy and Uncle Corry are due February 20th. I can't wait. Yes, if you've put it together, we will be Will and Grace!! Mom decided we can't have a Jack for a baby brother or cousin because we'd have Will, Grace and Jack. If a Karen comes in the picture, HOLY COW!!! Anyway, so Baby Grace is almost here and I'm so excited, I'll teach her all kinds of stuff. I'm thinking she'll be into a lot of the cool stuff I like, so it's going to be so much fun. Baby Grace, I'm waiting for you; but finish baking, you need to be healthy to play with me.

My other new friend is Little Man Daniels, or that's what his mommy calls him. I don't have any new friends that are boys, everyone keeps having girls. Of course they are all my great pals, but I'm swamped w/ girls. Ewww, kooodies!!! So, Little Man Daniels and I will play in the dirt together and ride fast toys and have a Heeman women hater club. Yeah, it will be good to have another boy around!!! His mommy is having him February 20th. So, both my cousin and my buddy are coming the same time. I'm going to be a busy little man.

I just want to tell the mommy's to be safe and bring both Grace and Baby Daniels into this world on time and healthy. Mommy said we are going to pray for you everyday so we know we have two healthy babies and mommy's. I'm going to have my car ready to come see you as soon as you have my friends. See, I'm servicing my mirror!!!

Bathtime! Bathtime!

Oh do we love bathtime! Will can be the most cantankerous little man, but when you mention bathtime and round that corner to his bedroom; woo hoo, the arms start swinging, legs start kicking and we start biting mommies face. (or as I like to call it...giving mommy super slobbery kisses!) Bathtime was a routine Will and I developed from the first bath and it's become a BIG DEAL! Every evening around 6:30-7:00 he starts getting fussy, so off to bathtime we go. I start singing the bathtime song (yeah, it's made up, but it works!!) And no I will not sing it for everyone....

He's learned to play with his feet in the tub, so he's got that going for him!

(Had to cover his man parts!!!)

And now we get to sit in the water after we scrub a dub and play with our seat. He's not very interested in his bath toys yet, but the seat and water are fascinating! As you can see I have to death grip hold him still, but he's starting to get better about sitting up. Not much longer and we'll be splashing the walls!

Then after bathtime, my little burrito baby gets the ulitmate baby massage. Full body massage every night. We love baby massage, it's makes us long and strong just like daddy.

Another fun adventure for Will during bathtime is to hose the wall. Thank the Lord he doesn't pee on me while we wait for the water to warm, but inevitably once we get in the bath, that first cup of water over him gets the little man a flowin!! Got to love little boys and their fire hoses!!!

1st Ear Infection

Will has been feeling like poo since last friday. We knew he was teething and since we found his first tooth last friday night, we just thought that was it. But as the weekend and week have progressed he's been extremely congested, coughing, really cranky and the last 2 days he's ran a temperature. All of which are signs of teething, but we wanted reassurance that he was okay since there is so much junk going around. So, wednesday we went to the doctor and sure enough he's got an ear infection, a cold AND cutting teeth. Poor Guy!!! We got some med's for the ear infection but the cold has to run it's course. Will has cut both his bottom teeth and I'm guessing he's working on the uppers now because he's biting really hard w/ those upper gums.

Today he's run the highest temp. and probably felt the worst. I had to get him from daycare at lunch because his temp. was over 101. After some tylonel and a two hour nap on mommies lap, he felt a little better. Hopefully he'll have a good night sleep....

He's my little trooper!!!

Here's Will's first tooth, if you can't see it on the screen, you can double click on the picture and blow it up. The second tooth isn't visible yet, but it's there! We are so proud!!!!
