Day 61

Day 60

It's been somewhat of a holiday tradition over the years to change the letters of some holiday words around my Mom's house and my Grandparents house. It started with the word "NOEL" changed to various different spellings (LEON, NOLE, NELO) and it probably drives my Grandma nuts.

I've continued the same tradition in my family with the word "SANTA" and I know it drives my Mom nuts, but it's out of love.

Although she really hates it when I change SANTA to "SATAN".

Day 59

Tuesday evening a box was delivered to our home. The box contained this awesome cake looking gift for Will. It was from my bosses/owners at Summit Home Health and we absolutely loved it! Very thoughtful of them, and who doesn't love getting huge packages delivered to their home?

Day 58

Hello there, Will... 2 weeks old
At his 2 week check up, Will is now 8 lbs. 10 oz. and 22 inches long (91%)

Day 57

Sunday evening we had dinner at my parents house. They had a bunch of my sister Natalie's friends over for dinner as well while she is serving a mission in Kirtland Ohio. It was really great to see them all and introduce Will to them. Again he was the main attraction.

My parents did the same thing every 2nd Sunday of the month with a lot of my friends when I was serving my mission, and my family loved it. Being able to see my friends every month faithfully was very important to them, and they loved keeping up with everyone. I'm glad they are still trying to do it with Natalie's friends.

Day 56

Saturday marked our first "official" use of the stroller. Coupled with the car seat, I freaking LOVE this stroller. I'm not necessarily sure why I love it so much, but I made Shara walk around the mall a little more with it because I was so proud to use it.

Saturday also marked the first "public" diaper change at Chili's. We met my parents for dinner and had a great time, and in the middle of it all, Will of course needed a big time diaper change. Let's just say, I'd rather change him at home. I've never been so concerned about sanitation in my entire life.

Day 55

Last night while sleeping, we heard a crash. Not sure what could possibly make THAT much noise, I entered our office to find this lovely image. You may recall this is what is used to look like.

Compliments of our cat, Stanley, who may or may not be living with us much longer.

Day 54

Shara was mad that I was making squishy faces with Will. She might even be more mad that I now posted it. I can't help it. I'm like a Grandma, his cheeks are just so stinkin' cute.

Day 53

Wednesday evening was a banquet for the volleyball girls that Shara coached at Lone Peak High School. From their State Championship win, it was very well deserved. We decided to take Will on his first real "public" outing. Let's just say he instantly had about 15-20 girlfriends. They swarmed around him, and fell in love with him. They have been waiting all season during Shara's pregnancy to see what he would look like. And I think it's very safe to say they were all pleasantly surprised. This photo is just a small sample of all the attention he got that evening.

Day 52

Although the coloring on this photo may or may not show his true color, we are fully convinced that, at least for now, our baby has brown hair. Which, coming from two totally NON brown haired parents, is strange.

Behold, the power of genetics.
