Baby Will update...and Allie too!

Will's doing great! (although he could sleep a bit better at night for his mommy!)


Last weekend Will had some special visitors: Auntie, Uncle Britt, Aunt Tracey, Cousins Maddie and Anna, and Aunt Robyn all came up from Auburn to meet Will. We had a great afternoon, and Allie loved playing with Anna and Maddie!



On Wednesday, Will went for his first official doctor's visit. As you all know, we've been worried about Will's weight gain from the beginning. I was hoping that Will would weigh in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces or better (that would be a gain of 1/2 ounce/day, which is the minimum that babies should gain during those first few weeks). He shocked us all by weighing in at 8 pounds, 5.4 ounces! He'd gained a whole pound in the 9 days since his last weight check. What a relief! The doctor said to stop worrying about his weight gain...he is doing just fine! He's gonna be a bruiser!



This weekend is Will's first college football weekend, an important milestone in any baby's life! Since Alabama is playing Virginia Tech in Atlanta today, and Pops is making a trip over to Atlanta to visit Will for the first time, I decided that it was only appropriate to dress Will in his BAMA gear for today. Go BAMA! Good luck tonight!


This past week, Allie started school for her first full school year. She is in a 2K class at the International Preschool here in our neighborhood. Allie is the youngest in her class, but only by 5 days. Unfortunately, we got a call on the first day that she had a fever of 100.4 and we had to pick her up early. Not to worry though, she was fine. We're not sure why she had a fever (maybe cutting more teeth), but she's definitely not sick. Unfortunately, because we had to pick Allie up early on her first day, she missed her first Japanese lesson! I hope she can get caught up :-)
