Apple Time

We can't little the little guy get all the blog attention. Here are some pictures of the big kids at the orchard this past weekend. It was a perfect weekend for apple picking!

Turns out, the kids aren't that big after all. 

Apple!

This was pretty much dinner Saturday night. 

So tasty it needed concentration. 
William Tell? 

Duck racing
Joyful bouncing on the giant pillow. (Where can I get one for my yard?)

Bye!

William update: 1 month

Tummy time - he's starting to roll over when he's mad
At the orchard: "What do you mean I can't eat the apple?"

William has passed the one-month mark already. After not quite getting back to birth weight at the two-week check-up, our "little" boy made up for lost time in the past two weeks. He weighed in at 10 pounds, 11 ounces and measured up at 23.3 inches. That confirms what we suspected -- he is bigger ever day! William is already wearing 6-month sized outfits because he's just too long for the infant things. Getting him into his car seat and co-sleeper are tight fits, too. The doctor declared him perfect and, after he grinned at her and held up his head so strongly, said he was acting like a two month old. He's just trying to keep up with his brother and sister, but he's definitely beginning to smile, coo and watch us intently. No, he's not sleeping particularly long stretches at night, but, after a snack, he does go back to sleep easily. We have consistent evening fussy periods, so I'm not getting anything done in the evening, but he's so predictable about it, that I can't complain to much. Most nights, a he just wants to eat and snuggle, which is easy enough. He is a delight.

There hasn't been much time to write lately. Honestly, there hasn't been much time to do anything lately, except for feeding, dressing, and driving small people. Oh, well, the dust will keep, right? For now, a few pictures will have to do! 
William takes a rare crib nap yesterday. 
I'm going to assume William was having a growth spurt day since he wanted to eat  ALL DAY LONG! 


Stand back world, Anna is in charge!
(Note how nicely the pink camo sandals -- Thanks, Isabella! --
match with her new pink Marine shirt -- Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa.)
