William went for his 2 month old check-up today. He is doing great!He weighed 11 lbs. and was 23" long. He was smack in the middle at 50 percentile for both height and weight. He did pretty good at the whole shot thing...he cried through them all, but as soon as the last one was squeezed, he was quiet! Then he was out as soon as we got in the car...he was a trooper though!

Just a few pics of what we have been up to...playing on the ocean mat,



Our first trip to Auburn- we went to visit Jana and Baby Lily but had to make a stop at our dear friends, Wick and Shirley. Long story short, I use to be a waitress at Chappy's while going to school in Auburn. Every week I waited on a group of 70 something year old men that came to eat before they played golf. It turns out, Wick grew up in Montgomery and knew all of Will's grandparents. Wick and his wife always took Will and I to eat dinner or invited us to dinner at their house while in college. They are so sweet, and I talk to Wick at least once every other week! For our first trip to Auburn, they treated us to lunch at Arricia!!



Then off to visit our new friend Lily! Lily told William she was catching up on some beauty sleep!



Enjoying some beautiful weather...good thing they make swings with batteries!

In deep thought in the tub!


I always said I was not going to let my baby sleep in my room just because I have heard some crazy stories about kids never leaving their parents rooms, but I caved in when William was born! With him being 5 weeks early, about the only thing I did not have yet was the monitor. So the first night home Will and I slept on a big pallet we made on the floor. Thankfully, our neighbors let us borrow their bassinet that had been up in their attic after that! I knew he eventually had to move to his room, but I kept pushing it back. At the time he really didn't cry very loud, and I was afraid even with the monitor I wouldn't hear him. So I tried it last week, and we are good to go for sleeping in the crib! He is still waking up every 3 hours to feed at night but thankfully he will fall right back to sleep after he eats!I am posting a bath time time picture- we moved to the Whale tub about 2 weeks ago and he loves it! As for some stats...we go for our 2 month check up in 2 weeks. I got on the scale with him, and I think he weighs 9lbs. He is still in newborn clothes, but his feet are starting to get really close to the end of the footy pj's. He is still in newborn diapers, but when my last few run out we are going to switch to 1's. I think he can still fit in them because he inherited his daddy's skinny but muscular little legs!

On another note, I had my dr.'s apt today, and I was freed! So on to working out like crazy! Dr. M reminded me it took 9 months to put it on so not to get frustrated with it coming off so fast! Easy for him to say!
