Well, we're still getting used to having a new name to say and write around here. 

You are still Baby Will to most of us, and I wonder at what point you'll just become Will. And if you'll ever be William. I sometimes call you that, but it's more like a sweet nickname. I think you'll have to have your own business card before I could seriously call you that!

Or maybe if you just wore a tie.

 

...the tux may not be necessary.

But, seriously. I could eat you up!

We've had some good times in month two. A couple of playdates:

with sweet Maryn...the beautiful older woman in your life

and baby Charley, your bff that lives just down the street.

learning the ropes as my jogging buddy and also my learning that the key for baby #3 is to keep him portable in order to chase #1 and #2!

  

Biggest milestone in your second month was this: 

a smirky little smile! 

You started at six weeks and give them out pretty often...and even to Katie Beth, which means you really have no idea how close you've come to getting smothered and/or strangled by your sister.

Well, you might have some idea...

But it's only because she loves you at a level where she can't contain herself. I know the feeling by the way, and may be guilty of nibbling on your ears and cheeks a time or two myself. 

And your big brother couldn't have been prouder the day he got to feed you a bottle. 

Ben loves you so much. But he "really loves Will when he is awake"...and it's true, he gets very excited to see your baby blues wide open and tiny fists punching the air. He's so looking forward to teaching you how to ride a scooter and play spies. Cannot wait!

But I can. 

All that will come soon enough and be so much fun. 

But right now, I'm savoring your squishy parts and sweet "goo's" and "gah's" and all the time with you as my cuddlebug. 

 I love you, Willi-yum! 

Mommy
