Spring is in the Air

That would be Will on his first walk outside.  For the past six months of Will's life, I feel like he was either too young or it was too cold to take him outside.  It looks like the winter weather is finally on its way out.  YEAH!  Will and I went for a long walk today after we both got home from school.  He loved it! (And yes, I put a hat on him even though it was in the low 60's.  I never know what to do since he doesn't really have any hair to keep that cute little head toasty! I figure both grandmas would like to see him warm and bundled :))

Six month checkup

What a fun day!  Mommy got to take a day off on her thirtieth birthday and take Will to his six month checkup.  Will was 18 pds. and 27 inches and his head was 18 inches around!  That means he is in the 50th - 75th percentile for weight, 75th - 90th for height, and 90th for head circumference.  He is right on target since he has almost doubled his birth weight to the exact ounce.  Will also mastered sitting up on Sunday...his 6 month birthday.  It is so fun to see him changing so much so quickly!  He also had a restless night of sleep on Saturday night, and now we know why.  He has his two bottom teeth!  One is all the way through and the other is halfway there.  As soon as they are able to be shown, I will grab a picture and post it.  We feel so blessed to have had the last six months, and look forward to many more fun times ahead!

Fun with Mimi and Papa

Will was so lucky to have Mimi and Papa to hang out with this past weekend.  He had lots of grandparent love to enjoy!  Next time we'll have to make sure and get some good pictures of Will and Papa together too.

I'm 6 months old!

We had a great day celebrating Will's half birthday.  We started off the day by hanging out with Mimi and Papa who were in town for a visit this weekend.  Will loved his special time with his grandparents!  Then we went and took 6 month pictures.  They turned out wonderful!!  

Water Baby

Will LOVED swim lessons.  The entire time he laughed and kicked his legs.  He was the youngest baby by far, but that didn't hold him back from trying everything.  That even included trying to dunk his face in the water!  We can already tell that this is going to be a wonderful Blake Family tradition.

I must be teething

There are no chompers yet, but we know they have to be right around the corner.  This is Will's favorite new face....chewing on the bottom lip.  He is also constantly wet with drool and everything in sight must be put in the mouth.  

I can sit all by myself

Will is getting very good at sitting all by himself.  There are times we think that he forgets that no one is holding him, and he may topple over..as is evident in one of the pictures.  He is also starting to scoot forward and army crawl.  We are sure it is only a few short months until we will need to baby proof the entire house!
