Big Boy!

That is right! Will is 2 months old! Time is passing so fast - I know all parents say that. We went to the doctor for Will's 2 month appointment. He was a very big boy - he got 3 shots and another vaccine by mouth. He was not too pleased with the shots, but he handled them well. Not sure that I did though - I couldn't watch! I made Chris stand by him and I hid in the corner of the room. The screams were bad enough, I couldn't handle seeing the actual shot. My favorite part of the visit is getting to weigh him. He weighs 9 pounds 9 ounces! He is 24 inches long. They said he is in the 15% for weight, but is in the 50% for length and head size (which is great based on how small he was when he arrived).


We've had a busy few weeks preparing for Christmas. He's also learning a lot and keeping us all very busy. We are looking forward to Christmas and seeing our family and friends!

Will had a big weekend last weekend - going to Kelli's for dinner and Katherine's house for our annual Girl's Christmas Party.

Chillin' on the couch with Aunt Emily and Aunt Kelli after dinner at Kel and Jimbo's house.

Admiring Aunt D at the girl's holiday party. Will had so much fun hanging with mommy's friends!

Telling Aunt Heather all about the ceiling fan!

Things Will has been doing over the past couple weeks:

Smiling! He is smiling at people and he really likes to smile at the ceiling fan! He's even cooing some.
Chilling on the couch modeling his paci and "stud muffin" shirt Grandma Halpin gave him!
Sucking on his hand. He found his hand the other day and keeps putting it in his mouth.

Chillin' in the boppy on mom and dad's bed before bedtime.

Relaxing on the changing table after a long trip to the mall.

Busting out of the swaddle! Just call him Houdini.

And his favorite place...napping on Dad's chest on the couch. Chris likes this as well, if you couldn't tell! If you look closely, the burp cloth says Texas A&M Class of 2030. Thanks Joy for the cute burp cloth. We are doing our best to brain wash him now and this definitely helps!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Only 4 shopping days left! Of course, Chris and I got the best present we could have ever asked for this year and it came a little early! We love sharing Will with you all and hope you are enjoying him as well. This will definitely be a Merry Merry one for the Halping family.

God bless,

Chris, Courtney, and Will
