August Wrap Up...



Is summer almost over already? As you see from the picture, Baby Will has been enjoying it. Not that it will make a difference for us in Florida since it's pretty much summer ALL the time-sorry Minnesotans! And now that summer is coming to an end, we're ready for Gator Football!


On August 9, William was dedicated at our home church- First Baptist Indian Rocks in Largo. It was a beautiful little ceremony where Pastor Jeff prayed for us as parents and for William. It was amazing to see the whole congregation praying for our family! I'll post a new August slideshow soon with those pictures.

At the end of the month, Will took a big trip to Mimi and Teddy's, and also Grandma Karen and Grandpa Greg's house. Mommy and Daddy had been planning a cruise with friends for about a year, right after we found out about the pregnancy. We decided to still go, provided William was healthy. After weeks of preparation, lots of breastmilk in the freezer, and a very nervous Mommy, the vacation was wonderful. Apparently William was amazing with all of his grandparents because they kept telling us not to come back! Even though the trip was very relaxing for mom and dad, we couldn't wait to get back to our boys.

This past week, Baby Will weighed in at 15 pounds! Some other new developments through the month of August...

  • Smiling BIG and so happy when he's awake

  • Lots of "oohs and aahs," especially at Daddy and Grandpa Teddy!

  • Will loves to put weight on his legs and get ready to stand

  • He's liking "tummy time" more and looks like he's doing "push-ups"

  • William has discovered his hands and feet, and loves watching them move
  • Stuffed animals, rattles, and books have become very interesting to Baby Will and he loves following them with his eyes

Again, more pictures to come soon from the month. Thanks for staying updated!
