Will & Buddies

Today was the last session of our New Beginnings class. Will has come a long way with his friends over the last six weeks. Here are some pictures of him with his first buddies. Notice in the first picture, he is between two lovely ladies, Ashley and Julia, checking out all the hair they have (that he doesn't). *Bonus - Julia is a Yankees fan.* ;-)

Buddies

Will and Taz are buddies.

IT IS A MIRACLE BLANKET

So a friend in our Mom's group gave us their Miracle Blanket, as their son doesn't need it any more. We've been double swaddling, which worked better than single swaddling, but Will has always broken out of all swaddles in all the different blankets I've bought since he was born. Last night, I tried the Miracle Blanket. Will went to sleep at 9:30 ish. HE SLEPT UNTIL AFTER 5 AM. UNBELIEVABLE! I'm not saying it's going to happen every night, but I was really impressed. Fingers crossed that this is a trend...

One breakthrough down, two to go this week.

Will is a smiley baby. He smiles a lot, which we like. Strangers seem to like it too. He laughed in his sleep a few times a while ago, and has been maddeningly close to laughing a few times over the last week. I hope soon we'll be posting video of that (and all the other videos we have DAD).

Will has also spent the last week working like mad to get his thumb in his mouth and get it to stay put. He keeps at it, all day long. And he's just about got it, having just gone down for a nap in his swing with his hand near his mouth at least.

And because he's such a good boy, he slept for SIX hours straight last night, from 10 pm - 4 am. What a treat for me! He's still giving Dad a hard time at night though, but Dad's a champ and they're working through it.

This picture of Will was taken an hour ago with my new camera phone - which is nicer than my old camera phone, which I dropped in the glass of water in the bathroom for the cats on Monday.

We're two weeks behind - we will try to catch up.

Two weeks worth of pics should be up soon.
In the meantime, a first.

We took our first trip to the beach in Sandwich, MA. There's a boardwalk that leads out to the water, and people sponsored planks to rebuild it after a hurricane in the early 1990s. I found a plank that said "Will" and another that said "Wright Family"! Video of Will's first dip in the ocean (so cold!) to come soon.




Will makes this sad face that Billy and I can't help but get a kick out of. He juts out his bottom lip and curls it down - very pouty. So sad.

Tummy time Will

One of the moms in my New Mom's class took this picture of Will doing his tummy time work. This is his favorite way to do tummy time. For a bald guy with a paunch, he's damn cute.
