Quick update

Hey All!  I just wanted to get a quick post in before I forget.  I totally missed last week, dang!  Now I have to think back to what's been happening over the past few weeks....

Look at those chubby legs! So cute!
Well, this week Wally has been lots of fun.  I like this stage - he's really starting to smile more regularly, he's generally happy and cooing, he's sleeping like a champ (last night we slept from 9pm-4am.  It was a little slice of heaven).  Let's stay here for a while.  I still have cute clothes that fit, although it's dwindling because he's now wearing 6-9month and that's about where my supply ends.  I think before summer hits I'll have to start buying a few more things for him since up to this point we've survived heartily on our beautiful new gifted apparel.   This morning Wally woke up and gave me a huge smile.  I like waking up.

Auntie Mariel gets lots of new faces!
Last weekend was really a daddy son weekend - Wally and Brian spent lots of quality time together.  They spent Saturday night out for dinner with Brian's parents and Mariel/Jeff while I celebrated Sandy Rock's 50th birthday with the girls at Embassy Suites.  They hung out Sunday morning while I was at church - Wally saved up a good 2 days worth of pooping and waited until he was lying on the couch before surprising Papa with the great Poop Explosion.  Gocha!

Wally and Grandma Mary snuggling
On Saturday morning my Dad and Mary came to visit Wally, which was very fun!  I don't think they recognized him, he's grown so much in just a few weeks!

We are definately in a good groove.  Wally is really turning into his own little person, complete with more body motion - kicking and punching the air, rubbing eyes when tired, turning head to see people and when hearing new sounds.  He will look for me when I put him down.  I am so excited that we have had two consecutive 45 degree days...spring is almost here!  I can't wait to take lots of walks this summer and play outside.  Kacy just said that she will help me plant a vegetable garden, so I can't fail this year like I have miserably the past 3 summers!  Wally will give me extra reason to grow fresh healthy veggies - he'll be on solid foods by then!

Milestones:  Lots!  Growing growing growing; smiling more; new coos and screams; doesn't want to be put down - just held always; betime is getting earlier (around 8-8:30pm); bottle feeding pretty well; pooping only once every 2-3 days instead of every diaper; scratching face before mom cut fingernails (woops), hitting the boobs while breastfeeding (nope, can't slow down the flow that way), less fussy in general
