THERE IS A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

Warning: this post is rather long because every moment is a BIG moment in my eyes!! 



First car ride. Headed home from the hospital. It has to be the slowest that I have ever seen Matt drive:) 
 First time changing Will at home. This was comical. We both were so afraid that we were going to break him. 

First sneezes caught on video. I can't believe how tiny he was here.


First walk. It was a beautiful day outside, so Matt and I decided to take Will for a stroll around the neighborhood. He seemed to like it.... he passed out! 


First time I captured little man smiling. 


First time sitting up in his Bumbo seat. This is still one of my favorite pictures:) 

First time wearing a pair of jeans. They are clearly still too big for him at this time, but I just couldn't wait any longer. I had to get some denim on my child. 

First lunch with mom and dad. We went to Flying Fish. Will was an angel, slept the whole time! 


Mommy caught me talking in my crib. 



First time I captured him sucking his thumb.


First time I noticed Will swatting away at the toys in his play gym. 

Talking with mommy. 


First picnic outside with mom. I need to get this boy some shades! 

The morning after the first night we put Will down unswaddled. He scratched the heck out of his face while he was sleeping. :( I nicknamed him Edward Scissor Hands for a few days. 

First St.Patrick's Day. We have a new lucky charm! 


First time eating cereal.. 


First Easter Basket


First time he rolled from his back to his belly. He did it before Matt and I both left for work. We were so excited!!!!! 




First veggies..... 

Not sure what to think... 


First time he rolled and slept on his belly for a nap. 

He found his toes! 

First plane ride. Our son traveled in style for his first flight.... we had him in first class. The mimosas helped mommy and daddy relax. Of course, Will did great!!!

Family photos

When we were back in Kansas City for Derek's graduation, we had our good friend, Chris Oberholtz take family photos for us. Will is almost 6 months old here..... They were taken in May.










Mother's Day

My first Mother's day.... What a wonderful day. I have dreamed of the day that I would become a mother and that day is finally here. I have a wonderful husband and a perfect little boy. All of my dreams have come true. Matt was very thoughtful on Mother's Day and made it one to remember:)

Flowers from my two loves. The big one is from daddy and the smaller one was from Will. These have to be the most spectacular flowers I have ever gotten. My boys really out did themselves. 

We went to The Woodshed for lunch. The weather was perfect! 





Growing so fast






3 months 



First Christmas

We took a road trip back to Kansas City for Christmas. Will was just a few weeks old. We wanted to be able to introduce Will to more of his family. Will did great on the drive...he slept most of the time:) It was a busy two weeks for us, but we are glad we made the trip. It's hard not to be around family. We miss them daily.
