Auto Show

On Saturday we went to the 2011 Houston Auto Show. It was our first public outing together other than the park and the grocery store. No major meltdowns or poo-splosions, success!

We took the stroller and car seat with us to test out which "family vehicle" we're considering buying later this year. So far, our favorite is the Ford Flex.

Here Ryan and Will are demonstrating that his car seat fits much better in the Flex than in the back of my old Chevy Malibu!

My mom and I watched my sister (pictured in blue) cross the finish line of the Houston marathon on Sunday. Way to go Christine!

2 month check-up

Happy two month birthday Will! To celebrate, we went to the doctor and he received his two month vaccinations.

Some baby stats:

Length: 23 3/4" long, 80th percentile

Weight: 11 pounds and 3 ounces, 40th percentile

Will didn't mind the oral vaccine but has been pretty crabby since his tetanus shot, nobody likes those! He here he is trying to forget about it in the baby swing, look at those cheeks!

Note: Our old sofa and arm chair in the background - Our dog Sadie thinks we have just given her the greatest gift, she is in upholstery heaven. Little does she know it will be donated soon.

8 weeks!

Will turned 8 weeks old yesterday. I weighed him one last time before returning the baby scale we had rented, a whopping 10 pounds and 14 ounces! He has his two month check up on Wednesday, we'll get his official length then. He's just starting to fit into his 3 month clothes, we've been having fun dressing him up in all of his cute outfits. He doesn't quite fill out the 3 month size in the tummy but he definitely needs the extra length.

Last night we attended my company's office holiday party - his first non-family social event! He did very well, we were there for three hours and he got to meet lots of new friends including baby Leila. He only had one major melt-down, our cue that he was ready to go home.

In this photo he's wearing his "Michigan Outfit" from his great aunt Sue. So warm and snuggly!

Will "working out" on his baby gym

Will loves his baby gym... for about seven minutes. The photo on the left was taken before his latest growth spurt, he wore that outfit only twice before he grew too long for it!

The photo on the right was taken last week.

New Sofa

We just got our new sofa on Tuesday. Little Will can hardly wait to unleash a box of crayons on the cream cushions.
