Winter fun... and 7 week picture of Will!







I can't believe Will is 7 weeks old! This picture was taken today in his Bumbo chair which helps him sit up by himself. He actually liked it! I think the combination of his double chin, back fat and Skinger cheeks help hold up his head! I should also point out that the outfit he is wearing is a 3-6 month outfit! Yikes!!! Henry started wearing 3-6 month old clothes around 1 month of age... Will's not far behind him!
We're making the most of winter and our "city" yard... note the "sledding hill" Chris and Henry are playing on!

Boys are men




I wish someone could explain how some boys are just born men. My boy Henry is a little man in so many ways but I though I would share just a few:

  • When I ask him a question, he does not answer me unless I ask several times.
  • When I talk to him, he is able to maintain focus on whatever it is he is doing but somehow listen (and I know he's listening because when I ask him what I was talking about at another time, he always remembers).
  • When I ask him to pick up his toys, he says "Henry's don't pick up messes, mommies pick up messes"
  • Best of all, when he poops on the potty he asks me for his magazines (aka Bruder truck catalogue).
Like I said, somehow boys already are men in their own right!
