Ha Ha Ha...

Will officially had his first laugh this evening!!! It was during one of his belly times on his changing table. Oddly we have some of our most fun times on that changing pad. He has been squealing for awhile however today was a full laugh. I was so excited I screamed. Matt heard both of us from the other room and came running in. Will continued to give us many smiles and spit bubbles -which is also one of his new things.

Tahoe for New Years

We spent a few days in Tahoe over New Years. It was beautiful, we had a great time with friends and fortunately baby William was very well behaved for us.

A couple highlights include Matt's annual shaving of facial hair and Will's first kiss (peck on the cheek) from baby Ella.

Christmas

We headed to LA for Christmas and saw the Littlefields and Matt's Dad and Cathy. We had a wonderful time with family. The newborn cousins, William and Kira, had their first holiday together (although both babies were never really awake at the same time!)

Thanksgiving

We were so excited to celebrate William's first Thanksgiving at our home in San Francisco. We hosted Maggie, Tom, Pat and Opal. We are so thankful for many things at this time in our life.

I have dressed William up a few times recently and although I think he looks so adorable he also looks like a little man and I love to put him back in his "baby" onesies.

8 Week Checkup

We had William's 8 week checkup yesterday. He now weighs 12 pounds (75%ile) and is 23 inches (60%ile). He is growing so quickly and has been focusing and interacting with us more which has been very fun. We have started hearing him coo which is just adorable. 

He still loves to be held, he finally likes baths (since Mom figured out how to keep him warm), likes his carrier, likes his swing, likes belly time, likes to be rocked, likes to sleep on Mom and Dad's chest, and likes to hear Mom sing to him. He is getting use to his stroller, cradle, pacifier, burping and car rides (the first few blocks can be hard and then he falls asleep), diaper and clothes changing is still hit or miss.

4 Year Anniversary

November 18th was our 4 year anniversary. That evening we made a delicious dinner at home and William slept in his swing through the entire meal! The following weekend the 3 of us headed to the wine country. Saturday morning I overheard Matt asking William if he'd like to join us on a little trip to celebrate our anniversary - it was so cute! We went to a few wineries and had room service for dinner. It was a wonderful and special time, however very different than past trips considering the baby element.

Kira Natalie Littlefield and trip to LA

The Griffins did a roadtrip to LA the first  week of November. We were so lucky to be down there when on November 10th, Prescott's 30th Birthday, his wife Christina went into labor. William was thrilled to meet his cousin Kira Natalie Littlefield, 6 pounds, 13 ounces and 20.5 inches. Besides meeting Kira, William had great quality time with Baba, Grandpa, his Uncles and a handful of Mom's highschool and college friends.
