6 Month Stats

William had his six month appointment today. He weighs 19lbs, 5 oz and is 27" long. He is in the 50-75th percentile for both length and weight. Dr. Lee told us that the gums for his top four teeth are swollen, so William may add more to the two he already has sometime soon. She was pleased with his growth and development and it was certainly nice to have good news from the doctor's office.

Weekend in Long Beach

Will spent his first of many weekends at Grandpa Gene and Grandma Lisa's vacation home in Long Beach. It was a smaller group this year, but we had a nice time visiting with Marc's grandparents, Gene and Lisa, as well as his brother Jay, wife Jennifer, and soon-to-be baby. We enjoyed great food and each other's company. It was a weekend of firsts for William: meeting Great Grandma and Grandpa Daily, seeing the ocean, and riding a merry-go-round. William got a great new toy from Uncle Jay and Aunt Jen and we was rolling all over the floor to grab at it. People are predicting that he will be crawling within the next couple of weeks, as he kept lifting his but up into the air and trying to scoot around. He still needs to figure out that his arms are an integral part of crawling. We'll see if the predictions are correct. It is exciting to think that at this time next year William will be walking on the beach and will have a new cousin to play with. It will be lots of fun, for sure!

6 Month Photos

We had William's six month photos taken last week and we couldn't be happier with the results. Marc was out of town, which is why he isn't in any of the photos. We'll be going back to get more pictures at the 9 and 12 month mark. We'll get some family shots then, too.

Happy Independence Day!

William will be 6 months old in a few days and we can't believe how much he has grown! He is rolling all over the floor, eating some solid foods (peas and sweet potatoes), sitting up, and cutting two teeth. He has the sweetest disposition and an even sweeter smile and giggle. We spent the holiday barbecuing with the Richards half of the family. Since it was so hot, Grandma and Grandpa Richards brought Will a swimming pool and he just loved it! We had a wonderful time relaxing with the family.
