Today daddy dropped Will off at Jeremiah's before work so Nana could watch him. Lily was sick, so we are hoping he didn't get it! The weather was horrible, and a downpour of snow all morning caused my commute home to almost double. I stopped by our house and let out the dogs and then headed over to pick up Will. I visited a little with Nana and Lily, and Pa showed up later. When Nichole got home, Nana and Pa stopped by our house for a bit and Nana even shoveled the driveway while Pa got some Will time in. Will took a long nap, and I took that time to take some medicine and lay down to get rid of a headache. After his next bottle he spent enjoyed watching NickJr. for a long time!

Today Will stayed home with daddy while I went to work. He slept later than usual and was very happy in the morning. When I got home I spent some time with Will before doing some cleaning and eating my early dinner. After that I was so tired that I had to go to bed! Will stayed up with daddy, and went to bed late around 11.

Today was Will's first day to go to daycare. Klif had to wake him up and feed him, and then dropped him off at Miss Tara's. I expected him to fall back asleep in his car seat on the way to her house, but she said he was wide awake when he arrived! He got rave reviews, and she said he napped for about an hour while there. I picked him up at 1 and had to run a couple of quick errands, and he slept off and on while we were out. By the time we got home he was completely asleep, so I took advantage of the situation and napped for an hour and a half while he slept in his car seat. We cuddled most of the rest of the evening, and he was very tired throughout the night. Daddy got home at 8:30 and took over and I headed right to bed since I was so tired! Will stayed up a little later than normal, probably from all of his evening naps, and went to bed at 11.

This morning Klif's alarm went off at 6 for work, and I noticed that the baby monitor was off! I quickly went in to check on Will and he was sound asleep in his crib. Klif started feeding him at 6:30 and I took over halfway through. Will went back to sleep and I went to work in my room. Today is my last day home and I wanted to make sure that the house was cleaned up so that I didn't have to worry about it when I got home from work. We had some more tummy time today, and it wasn't as bad as usual. Soon he was ready to be done! Will was content playing and napping through the day and I continued working on stuff around the house. Klif came home at 8:20 and I immediately showed and went to bed since I had to be up in about 4 hours.

This morning Will was up a little early and I fed him at 5. He went back to sleep and daddy got up with him at 8:30 and I slept in. When I was up we loaded up and headed out to run some errands. We picked up some free formula from a lady who was given samples she didn't need (yay!) and headed to the grocery. We were almost done at the grocery when we noticed that Will smelled really bad. I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've smelled him this bad in public. We hurried through the last couple of aisles and headed home. After a thorough changing, Will took a nap on the ottoman and later watched some TV. Tonight we were talking to Will on the couch and actually got him laughing. This is the first time we've really got him to laugh as a response. It was so much fun! I had put some oven steak in the crock pot when we came home from the grocery. I made all of the sides and then when it was time to eat I realized that meat was not even close to being done! I was really upset that my dinner had failed, and we decided to have chicken and noodles as a main dish instead. I started the noodles and then realized I had no chicken! By the time the chickenless noodles were done the potatoes were cold and the corn was overcooked. Yuck. Will ended up falling asleep early again, and we put him to bed at 9.

Daddy took all night shifts since he was off work today. Unfortunately he got a call at 8:30 saying that he was actually scheduled! He wasn't happy, and didn't remember picking up the shift and had no confirmation emails of it either. He was very tired! Will slept until 10 (look at those marks on his arms from being swaddled!) and as usual, was very happy this morning. He spent some time in his swing and exersaucer while I worked in my room. He was fascinated by the print on the bedspread. That evening I was feeling pretty sick with a migraine but Will was in a needy mood so we spent a lot of time cuddling in the recliner. When daddy came home he was very tired and we all went to bed a little early.

I got up at 10 and daddy had been up with Will. Tummy time is still not going so great, and we aren't doing a great job of sticking with it. Will gets frustrated most of the time, and doesn't lift his head much when he is flat. I asked Klif to bring down Will's jacket, and the only one he could find was a 3-6 month one. It was really cute on him, but huge! I'm not going to lie, it made me feel good that Will isn't growing into his 3-6 month clothes quite yet. I want him to stay little!
Soon we all headed over to Jeremiah's to take over for Nana since she needed to get back to Muncie for incoming company. We took her lunch on the way over and when Lily went down for her nap she headed out. Lily slept until almost 4! Grandpa stopped by since he was in town, and spent some time with Will while Lily was sleeping. Will spent some time with daddy at home and I worked in my room. We headed to bed and Klif was in charge of the night shifts!
