Family Photo

We haven't had a nice family picture taken in several months - this one's not perfect since Winston wasn't really looking - but it will have to do.

Chelsea uniform

We are a few days behind on posting this - since we wanted to see how much bigger he had gotten on the first of every month. But you get the idea. He smiles a lot and just "goes with the flow" - as my dad likes to say.

The kids are still enamored with him and he puts up with their various forms of "lovin' "





And he's easy going enough that he can fall asleep on the living room floor (after rolling off the blanket) while the piano is being played in the same room!!

Gator Invasion!!

The McBryde kids got to come stay with us for a couple of nights while their parents are in China getting their little sister! Turns out that all 3 packed their Gator shirts. How could we miss a picture of them all - on the Gator, no less.

The living room was turned into a "castle" - complete with Princes and a Princess. They go back home tomorrow and our house will be quite a bit quieter, but not nearly as fun. :)

Three Months Old!!

It has gone by so quickly!! We are enjoying Winston so much. He smiles all the time (except when we get the camera out!) and his smile just lights up his whole face. His little eyes crinkle up and you can't help but smile yourself.

He likes to eat his fist. He makes the loudest sucking/smacking sounds. It's hard to believe they are coming from him. He still has HUGE burps and about every three days or so, he'll have one that's so big, he scares himself.

He's sleeping well in his crib during the day and is still in the cradle at night. We had made some real progress at sleeping through the night, but he's back to waking up about every 4 hours or so. GROAN!

William has had a nice week alone with him. He can carry Winston around, though just on the carpet. We have enjoyed taking him on walks in the stroller up and down the street. William enjoys getting to push the stroller, but since he can't really see over it, I usually have to help with steering!

Laughing

Winston has just started being ticklish in the last few weeks. Usually he stops laughing as soon as we get the camera out, but I was able to record this - albeit a little lopsidedly since I was doing the tickling and recording!

Bathing Brothers

William and Winston took their first bath together this morning. Winston has been getting baths in the kitchen sink, but he's really getting too long to do it much longer.

I thought the boys needed some extra bonding time since the girls are visiting Grampy and cousins in CA.

Despite William's rib-showing sides, he eats like a horse. Oh, to have such a metabolism! :)

August 3rd size check

We forgot to take Winston's picture on Saturday, so here it is. He doesn't look that much bigger in it, but he is continuing to beef up and he is certainly getting more social. He smiles at us all the time, laughs, and likes to stick out his tongue! He also gives us the "big eyes" look.
