It's Been One Month, 13 Hours and 38 Minutes

~William Andersen, one month.~

What the what?! Didn't I just deliver this ball of perfect pink preciousness? I CAN NOT believe it's already been a month. I swear, tomorrow I'm going to turn around and he'll be off to kindergarten. I feel like I haven't scratched the surface with all the blogging I wanted to accomplish about life with him. I haven't posted the family pictures we took weeks ago. I haven't even discussed my mother's sanity-saving stay with us. What have I been doing?!

~Okay, this is what I've been doing. I don't even feel a little bit guilty.~

First I guess I must give the 411 on Will. He's perfect. Yes, he cries. Yes, he still gets up a couple times a night. Yes, I'm occasionally tired. But I still maintain he's perfect. No one can tell me otherwise. Here are some more substantial facts about him...

He's lifting his head and looking around, a little wobbly, yes, but he's doing it.


~See. I'm not lying about his head lifting abilities.~

He guzzles his "meals".

He gives one (and only one) very loud burp at the end of those "meals".

~In Daddy's arms.~

He gets the hiccups several times a day and they shake his whole frame.

He still resembles Abigail most in his looks, but manages a more manly appearance.

~My four musketeers.~

He can stay awake for an hour at a time now.

He likes to hold hands with anybody, Daddy takes advantage of this the most though.


~Trevor's a baby hog.~

He can make a 4-5 hour stretch between "meals", but prefers it only be 3. Kind of like his mama.

He's very alert and loves to watch people faces and turns his head to the sounds of their voices.

He's loved more than he'll ever know and is constantly being bombarded with kisses from his adoring fan club (aka his siblings and parents).


~A tad pixally, we need a re-shoot.~

There's a quick rundown of our sweet boy. We have some exciting news coming up (no, I'm not pregnant, that would be more overwhelming than exciting). Stay tuned.

When oh when can I see that perfect boy? My heart is sad this morning looking at all those pictures of the nephew I've never met :( He is absolutely adorable, and the rest of ya'll look great too!

CaraDee said...

Great family photo!! And is that a little bit of red hair I'm detecting!?

Sally said...

He's so juicy. And I also feel like you just posted about his birth! A whole month is unbelievable. I love the one of you two looking at each other

Megan said...

Awesome pictures, I wish I could snuggle him a little too. I love the one of you guys on the couch - the pixles and all - it gives it texture and depth. Let's just call it "grainy" and then it makes it aritstic! :) Oh, and I can't believe he's a month either! That is crazy

I love all the pictures, but the one of you and him makes me want a baby again, which is weird because I NEVER want a baby again. (Yeah, I know I am confused too.) I want you to take our family photos when you come for Christmas. My originality is evidence in the way I line the kids up, tall in back short in front!

Louise said...

Ohhh, (say it kind of whiny) I wish I could snuggle him right now! Beautiful pictures Bren.

He is soooo darling. Congrats. I have been the worst blogger in the world. Love to see the cute fam you have. Can you believe summer is almost over. Looks like you had a great one.

Liz said...

Joneel said...

Love Love Love your pictures. ESPECIALLY, the one of the whole family on the couch. I LOVE it.

Suzanne said...

You have a beautiful family. Will is so adorable. You guys are so blessed. I am so envious of Mark coming to see you guys in a few weeks.

Holly said...

He IS perfect! It is simply not fair that the WHOLE family can't live within 10 min of each other. It is just not right! Miss you tooo much!

Those are darling pictures Brenda! It has been way to long since we have seen you guys. I also detect a little red hair on Will. (maybe it's the lighting)hehe. Or maybe he got it from his AUNT!!!
I too am baby hungry for the FIRST time since holding Will. Does he cast a spell or what! shhhhh, don't tell anyone.
Love you guys! =)
I promise I will start doing better at blogging.

Oh so sweet Brenda! I love a newborn and newborn photos are my favorite. Will is precious! Don't let him grow too much, I need to hold a baby as often as possible so I don't go and try to have another one of my own. It would have to sleep in the van! Love you and hope you're doing good!

Brooke said...

He is absolutely adorable. Darling pictures Brenda! Miss you guys! xoxo

Brenda- do you take these pics by yourself? How do you do it? I need lessons from you...who needs to pay a photographer waaayyy too much $$ when you can do it yourself. Love it! What a cute little family!
