So Big!

Will is going up so fast he seems to think it's a race. Everyone at church was agreeing with his nurse that he looks more like a 4 month old. Everyone keeps saying it that once when someone asked how old he was I actually said 4 months before I caught myself. (Then again I also told someone he was 10 months... maybe I just need more sleep)

Here he is in his bumba chair. He does really well for about 10 minutes before his neck gets too tired, but hey I can finish half my dinner in 10 minutes! ... and sometimes it's even still warm :)

Two Months (and 1/2) Pics

I finally had enough time while Will was happy, the sun was up, and Will had clean clothes on to take some pictures.

Note: his clothes only lasted for an hour as usual. I think the kid purposely does it so that I'll let him hang out in his diaper all day. Sad news is it works :( I just couldn't bring myself to put a fourth outfit on the kid today. It's easier on my laundry that way.

I call this the "Mom how many more..." picture

and this is the Lady's man pic

He is super cute with blankets. We'll put them over his face and he'll pull it down and play peek a boo or he'll wrap his hand in is and snuggle it around his face. All this is supervised mind you and no loose blankets in the crib.

2 months!

Will had his 2 month appointment today and did amazing with his shots. He cried but now is peacefully sleeping with Sadie in my chair. Btw Sadie isn't supposed to be in the chair looks like that's going well huh? They were too cute to make her move see...
First of all as soon as we walked back the nurse said "you look like a 4 month old..." :) What can I say this kid is a tank. Now for the stats:
Height: 23in (They don't worry about measuring this very exactly at our doctor because they say it's hard to be consistently until they are walking. We measured him at 24in at home)

Weight: 14lbs. 2oz. (93%)
Head Circumference: 41cm (75%)

House Update

They start construction on May 19 which means we close on August 17!!! Only forever to wait... :(

Setting a good example!

I know now that I'm a mom I am supposed to be setting a good example for little Will, but I am just having such a hard time with it... in fact I'm starting to turn into a hardened criminal.

I got pulled over for the first time in my ENTIRE LIFE! I was investigating the neighborhood where our new house will be built and had to drive from one neighborhood to the other. We are talking 1/8 of a mile basically one street to the next. Well I pulled out on the road and stopped at a red light (mind you I wasn't the first car at the light) right as the light was turning green I glanced in my mirror and noticed a cop with his lights on behind me. My thought was crap how long has he been there? I drove through the light and pulled over so that the cop could pass me. Guess what? He stopped behind me! Me! who looks 5 times before crossing the street and never likes to go more than 2 miles over the speed limit.
He walked up to my window and I'm thinking what did I do, how did I pull onto the road wrong because that's all I had done.
Cop: Your being pulled over because you were clocked going 53 mph in a 40 mph area.
Me: (Crap! How did that happen?) I was just looking at a house and was driving from the model to the neighborhood.
Cop: Is there some emergency I should be aware of?
Me: No, I was just driving from that neighborhood to this neighborhood.
Cop: License and Insurance please
Me: (Oh man I hope my wallet didn't fall out of the diaper bag... hand license to cop)
Cop: Insurance?
Me: Oh (crap I hope it's in the glove box and not the file cabinet on accident... hand him insurance)
Cop: What did you say you were doing?
Me: Me and my husband are looking for a house and I was just driving from the model to this neighborhood to check out the area.
Cop: Do you really live at FM 620 in Austin?
Me: Yes, Sir
Cop: How often to you come to Leander?
Me: This is my first time Sir.
Cop: Normally, people receive tickets for going 13 over, but I am going to give you a warning.
Me: Thank you
Cop: The signs don't lie down that way the road is 45 mph here it is 40 mph and down that way a little bit it goes to 45 mph all the way through Leander.
Me: Yes, Sir
Cop: Stay in the car I'll be back.
(Text from Danny: How is your day going?)
Sheesh!!! Danny came back with me that weekend and his comment was this is the light you got stopped at? That isn't even an 1/8 of a mile. So all I can figure as to how I got going 53 in such a short period of time is a) I was in the truck and was thus less aware of how fast I was going and b) the cop must have clock me as I was accelerating onto the road.


So after all of that I have also managed to shoplift from Walmart twice! The last two times I have been to Walmart I've been putting things into the car when I realized that I don't remember scanning those eggs/ gas drops I wonder if I did. (check receipt) nope. So then I've had to pull Will back out of the car and walk back in to pay my $1.50 for eggs. To make things worse we have an extra exuberant Walmart greeter that I have to explain why I don't need a return sticker. The conversation goes like this
Me: no I don't need a sticker I just need to go pay for these. I forgot to pay for them.
Greeter: Forgot to pay for them?
Me: Yeah, I forgot to pay for them
Greeter: (escorts me to the register) Will you help her she forgot to pay for these?

*Sigh* Hopefully, I'll get my act together before Will is old enough to remember his mom's run ins with the law.
And I'll leave you with a pic of the kiddo right now asleep in the chair.

We're Moving!!!

We will be moving in September.  Into this!

Yup that's right we bought a house!!!! Well actually we put money down to reserve some land that they promised to build a house on that we can buy later....
We are super excited for our gigantic yard! We are happy that Sadie will be able to go outside on her own and we'll be able to plant a big garden.
