William is 3 months old

We have reached the 3 month mark. It's been alittle rocky with colds and flu happening. The poor little mite has had 2 colds, colic due to milk allergies and now is teething. All this has earned him the nickname of Grumpy pants.
Also he is sensitive to the cold and LOVES to be warm and cozy. so his favorite thing is still to be held which oldest brother is very willing to do! But he does pay us will great big smiles.
We have a new camera I'm trying to learn it's quirks in doing so I have taken "a few" photos of Wil, here are some of my favorite ones... sorry they my be slightly blurry, I'm still working out the many buttons on the camera.

William's Blessing

This Sunday we blessed William. This is the first time we didn't have family around to help, but a few friends came back to help instead. We celebrated with... dunkin donuts too ( NOT my idea, mom ).

Spots Before Our Eyes.

For some reason Tom decide to get spots just after thanks giving. Our first thought was it's chicken pox, but that was soon to be seen as not the case thankfully, As the spots grew and grew in size every hour he had more and more, the old ones just got bigger and bigger.. poor kid! he wasn't very happy.
A trip to the doctors confirmed a bad case of hives due to eating something new or different!!!.... it was thanks giving, of course he had something new or different!
So our leftovers got thrown and Tom was put on meds that made him sleepy!! and the spots went away.
But he had an extra week off school.

Tom was confined to his room when we thought it was chicken pox's in an attempt to keep him away from William.

"Mommy I'm itchy" He said

And more appeared each hour.

And they grew....

And grew.

And what did Ashton think of all this happenings in his bedroom.

Baby Photo of Wil

Here it is at last the offical Baby photo of Wil

He was just 10 Days old.

Here are the other two for you to see who he looks like the most.

 Thomas at 10 days.

Ashton at 17 days

Lastly this is the latest all family photo done last jan 2010... just before we found out about William!



Just a Quick one...!

Yeah right with a newborn in the home, nothing is done quickly. Including getting out the door! to get Mike from work.
But I did sew the boys Halloween costumme again this year, All I'm saying about this is that I must be mad, not just sleep depired. But here are a few of our Halloween photos. I guess I'm going to have to take more as we didn't get any of Ashton, as he was trying to find his pants that he put "somewhere". now that Mom is otherwize busy he is lerning to find his own things ( hasn't worked out that if he puts them away right he can find it later).
Happy Halloween

Early Days..... and Helping hands!

I have forgotten what the early days of a new baby were like- the feeding, diapering and the sleepless nights, well not quite sleepless just the broken-up sleep, only having 2-3 hours of sleep at a time can be hard on a person!

Grandma Assisting mom in the sleeping department.

But there are plenty on helping hands around to hold the little one... or play with his toys.

Ahhh the joy of being able to sleep anywhere or place..... or whenever.

Our little William has already started to watch his older brothers for tips on living.

lets hope he is not thinking of following in Ashton's footsteps, as Ash has successfully lost his 2 top front teeth this week. 1 of them at school, who gave him a little treasure chest for him to keep his tooth in. Aarrrr..pirate treasure for sure!

William Jacob has Arrived

Yes he is here, a few weeks early but health and Hungry.


William was born on Tuesday September 7th morning at 3:09 after a very quick labor that started on the labor day holiday!!!

He weighed a healthy 6lb 2oz and did not need any special care, so we both came home Thursday morning and now He's trying to make sense all all that is around him.

His brothers are busy loving him and want to help out alot!!
