Okay this is not a great picture of our little Will boy, but I actually caught a smile on camera, even though I was totally flashing it in his face.
Will is officially 15 days old today.
We had a weight check at the pediatrician today and......drum roll please......
Will weighs 11lbs 1oz!!!
He's HUGE!!!
That means he's gained 2lbs 4oz in the last 13 days since we've been home from the hospital.
No wonder I don't get any sleep! The boy is hungry all the time!

I'm actually thinking about giving him some formula at bedtime to see if that keeps his tummy a little fuller. He absolutely thinks he needs to eat every 2-3 hours and it's wearing on me. I keep telling him it's a good thing he's so sweet about it, otherwise I might have a mini-mommy breakdown!
Will's Stats:
- Will wears size 0-3 and 3-6 month clothes. It really depends on the outfit.
- He doesn't mind bathtime, but he also hasn't had a real bath yet.
- His umbilical cord is still hanging on. Christian thinks it's gross.
- He poops constantly, so Triple Paste has become our best friend.
- He's in size 1 diapers.
- He has been called William, Will, Wilbur, Wills, Willis, Willie and Will the Thrill. (I hate nicknames, but Ryan loves them!! Ryan never calls anyone by their real name, including me).
- He spends very little time awake.
- At this point I think he resembles Ryan more than our other two kids did.
- He had a huge sucking callous on the middle of his top lip. Mckenna started to pick at it and Grandmom saw her and stopped her immediately. The next thing we knew Christian had pulled it off . Poor baby just doesn't stand a chance with these siblings of his. But he's a tough boy...didn't even cry or wake up for that matter.

He is so cute! Anna :)
2-3 hours is NORMAL judy. just keep him awake afterwards and he should sleep a good 1.5 hours between feedings. then he'll be able to stretch longer at night. hang in there - i LOVe the smiley face picture of him! :)
