Ah, our first Christmas with Will. The day was a little bit of magic - we had some wonderful family time together. We unwrapped gifts first thing in the morning - Santa was VERY good to Will. We're sure each Christmas will get better and better. Here are a few photos from the day...

Um, folks, what's going on? (Little does he know he'll be spending lots of time sitting in the car seat wrapped up in this box!)

Oooooo, I think I might be getting this "getting stuff" concept. (Will in his brand new Bumbo seat checking out a Sassy toy - all new stuff from Christmas!).

Our other "first born", Tuxedo, who wants his picture taken just like Will's. Okay Tux...say cheese.

Mom Cleans The Floors

So Andy can no longer say that I've never cleaned the floors. Will really doesn't like Tummy Time but we're working on it. Here's a little trick I pulled out of the hat today. Check out the glance Will gives his dad near the end of the video - priceless. Let's just hope he doesn't turn us in to the authorities!

Just In Time

Today we finished wrapping Christmas gifts and helped Will with preparations for Santa. Will was worried for a while that Mom wasn't going to get his Christmas stocking done and hung, but no fear, it is finished and hung by the fireplace for St. Nick.

This Christmas stocking was made from a YarnCraft Kit purchased at my local yarn shop - Black Sheep Yarn in Cockeysville, MD. They run $25 a piece and are well worth every penny. The pattern is simple and it comes with all the yarn you need. It looks super cute on the mantle and will for years to come!

Oooooo Baby Einstein

We picked up a set of Baby Einstein videos for Will. We've popped them in a few times just to see what he thinks. At 14 weeks, he's already enjoying them.

Here's a video of Will that daddy took while Will was watching Baby Einstein. He's also having quite a time with his hands right now which you can see.

In The Jumperoo

So about a week ago we decided it was time to give Will a try in the Rainforest Jumperoo. This plaything is all the rage. Moms and dads gush about how much their babies enjoy it and some of our coworkers pitched in and gave it to Will.

At just a little over 3 months old, Will is still a little young to get it, but he's starting to get it.

Here's a video during daddy daycare at home - you can see Will trying really hard to understand his new toy. We know he's going to love it!

First Quarter Results

Will turned three months old today!

The time has flown by and it's been great fun having him in our life. There's no visit to the doctor this month, so no official statistics, but we can see him gaining weight and growing before our very eyes.

Aside from turning three months old, this was a big week in our house. Mom returned to work on Monday. Thank goodness Mimi has been here to watch over Mom, Dad and of course Will. Between now and the New Year, Mom and Dad will alternate days at home to watch Will. After that he's off to Karen's for days filled with fun boy stuff in the neighborhood while Mom and Dad work.

Here's a few shots of Will on his three month birthday.

Ho, Ho, Ho

Santa is in town and Will went to meet him today. Mom and Dad were both off of work and Mimi is in town so we packed up and headed to Towson for a visit with 'Ole Saint Nick this afternoon.


When we turned up, Santa and his elf were on break, so we killed 15 minutes and crossed our fingers that Will would be in a good mood by the time Santa returned.


After just three quick clicks, we ended up with this great souvenir of Will's first visit with Santa Claus. We couldn't imagine a better first picture with Santa - Will was having a blast.


Oh, and he asked for a BMW. We'll see about that.
