oNe MoNtH oLd!

Will turned one month old on Thanksgiving Day. I can't believe it!! It has gone by so quickly, but in a strange way, it feels like he has been with us forever now. He is such a sweet little guy! He's pretty calm for the most part...unless he's hungry and then it's a different story! He still sleeps for most of the day...and usually most of the night! :) Sometimes he likes to keep us up for awhile after his middle of the night feeding...little stinker! Ella and Max are still doing so well with him. They have both really settled into having a baby brother and they love him so much. Ella is doing exceptionally well at helping us with both boys. Sometimes we have to remind her that she is not the mommy...just a great big sister! For instance, she brought in one of Max's used diapers the other day and informed us that she had just changed his diaper! The crazy part is...she did a GREAT job and got the new diaper on perfectly! Max just feeds into it too...he will ask her to carry him around the house or snuggle him if he gets in trouble! It has been very sweet to see their bond grow even more with the addition of Will.

I hate to brag, but I'm pretty sure Will is some kind of genius. Right before I took this picture, I asked him how many months old he was! :) hehe

My 3 little scraggle-muffins on Thanksgiving. This was the best pic I could get of all of them...the big ones are just too quick!
This is how Ella has been capitalizing on mommy being a little distracted with the new baby....
They were pretending that Max was her girl puppy...who carried a purse?? :) And he was willing to go right along with it!

Max actually asked for this one. He brought the barrette to Jason and said, "Daddy, will you put my Cookie Monster barrette in?" Ummmm......Wow! Not sure what else to say about that!

Will Michael is here!

Will Michael arrived last Monday, October 26 at 4:55 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and is 20 inches long. He has been such a sweet addition to our family. Ella and Max are so excited to have a baby brother and they have been such great helpers. They both love to baby talk to him....it is precious! We are all doing well here and adjusting to life as a family of five. We are truly blessed!
