11/29/2010

Will was up at 7 and Klif got up to take care of him. Soon we were all off to meet Ceci for lunch as Los Rancheros. Yum! After lunch and saying goodbye to Ceci, we headed up to Clay Terrace because of the nice weather. We walked the outdoor mall, popping in a few stores here and there and picking up a few gifts. Back at home, I put up the tree and decorations while Klif took care of Will. It was a nice relaxing evening and after a quick bath and 6 full ounces of formula, Will was fast asleep by 10!

This morning Will was put back in the same outfit he puked on yesterday (washed, of course) for another try! We picked up Grandma Rachel and headed to Panera for breakfast. After we ate and Will was 1/2 fed (we didn't have time for the whole bottle!) we headed to church. After arriving he finished the other 1/2 of his breakfast. After the service we headed to Larry and Linda's. Linda gave will an adorable outfit, and one of her dogs could not get enough of the baby! He did not want us to leave. We stopped by Wal-Mart on the way back to Nana and Grandpa's, and I quickly packed while Grandpa fed Will. We then took Grandma Rachel back to her house and packed the rest of our stuff, loaded the car, and headed back to Indy. When we got home we woke up daddy (He had worked a 24 hour shift and just got home at 8am) and called my friend Ceci to let her know we were back in town. Ceci, a college friend of mine, was visiting from Texas. She came over and held Will and visited with us. After eating, he spit up on the outfit again, and for a while he was just happy being naked. After she headed out we packed up and headed out to BW3's to watch the Colts game. Unfortunately the game was so bad that the patrons were chanting "Painter! Painter!". We came home at halftime, and the game was so bad that mommy fell asleep on the chair! Daddy stayed up late with Will and put him to bed at midnight.

Mommy slept in after a late night (Nana couldn't stand the fact that Will was talking to himself in the crib, so she held him, and when mommy came in to see what was going on at 11:30pmWill was the happiest little guy, smiling and laughing for Nana since she saved him from his evil crib) and Pa fed Will before he headed to do a little work at the office. Once I got up we put Will in a cute outfit in preparation for meeting Linda and Larry today. Nana fed Will, and then he proceeded to throw up all over said outfit. Back into his sleeper he went. Will was very happy today! Grandpa got home just before we left, so we opted to leave Will with him while we ran some errands and come by and pick him up before heading to Yorktown. We stopped by with Grandma Rachel, but we couldn't get in touch with Larry and Linda, so we stayed in. Will was still very happy, and Grandpa said he was very good while we were gone. I ran Grandma Rachel home and then came back and spent the rest of the evening in with Nana, Grandpa, and Will!

Will was up at 8am and didn't want to go back to bed. He fussed a little bit and at 9:30 Grandpa said they were heading out to breakfast soon and would pick us up. We got bundled up (it was so cold!) and headed to Bob Evans and had breakfast with Nana, Grandpa, and Grandma Cooper. After breakfast we made a quick stop and Menard's and then went back to Grandma Rachel's to wait for Sara to come with her new baby, Reigan. Will was still fussy through the afternoon and didn't want to be put down. Some tummy time satisfied him for a while, and then he was just happy laying on grandma's island/changing table. Later that afternoon Sara came by and Will and Reigan had a play date. Will is bigger and weighs more than Reigan, but she is over 2 months older than he is! You could tell by her actions, but not by her size. When she was born she was 5 lbs. 14 oz.! After Sara left we packed up a few essentials and headed to Nana and Grandpa's for the night. Nana slept in Will's room so that Mommy could have her very first night of uninterrupted sleep since Will was born! It was so nice!

11/25/2010 Happy Thanksgiving!

We woke up early to get started on Thanksgiving food! Will chilled on the couch while mommy made pumpkin cookies, Macaroni and Cheese, and home made dumplings. Yum! Daddy came by while the cooking was still happening. He fed Will and sat on the couch with him while we finished up. We got Will ready and then loaded everything into the car and then headed to Nana and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving Lunch. We spent the day visiting with family and eating lots of good food. Nana had a doll that looked eerily like Will, and we even played a trick on Uncle Josh where we dressed the baby in Will's clothes and then when handing him to Josh accidentally dropped him. I'm pretty sure Josh's heart stopped for a second! We also played some tricks on Grandpa while he was taking a nap. Aunt Jill did a quick photo shoot with Lily and Will in their matching outfits (thanks Aunt Jill!). That evening I took Grandma Rachel home and Klif back to his truck so that he could get back home for work the next day. I headed back to Nana and Pa's where I had left Will and spent the rest of the evening visiting and scoping out any good deals in the flyers. We were at Nana and Grandpa's much later than expected. We headed back to Grandma Rachel's and we just up long enough to give Will a quick sink bath before heading to bed.

We were all up late the night before so we slept in a bit before getting up and getting ready to go. We packed up the car and headed to Portland. First we dropped off Taylor at her house and Stacey and Clyde got to meet Will. Next we stopped by Dwight's to drop something off but only Dwight was home. We found out Heather was also in Portland and met her at Como to give her back all of the maternity outfits she lent me (thanks again!). On the way back we called Angie since she was wanting to visit, and she said she had just met Shana and Stashia at Pizza King so we dropped off Grandma at her house and headed that way. We stayed and visited while they ate, and then went back to grandma's with Angie. Will took a long nap that afternoon. Later that evening we headed to Nana and Pa's to visit with Grandma Cooper and to eat some pizza! Jeremiah, Nichole, and Lily were there and Josh, Jill and Caleb were there for a while as well. We enjoyed the evening and then headed back to Grandma Rachel's to get some sleep before time to get up and cook!
