Boy Oh Boy!!

Well a lot has happened since the last update!! William Allen is finally here! I'm sure everyone knows he was born on the 4th of July. He was 7lbs 7oz, & 19 1/2 inches long. And that was 23 days early!! I'm not sure how big he would have been if he went to the due date or past!! Anyway, he is growing quite fast. At his last check up with the dr he weighed 8lbs 14 oz, & 21 inches long. He is really starting to try and pick his head up now too. His eyesight has definitely improved as he is now making eye contact with us. He likes to look at his big brother too. Will was having an allergic reaction to the soy formula so the dr switched him over to the lactose free milk based and the rash seems to be clearing up. The dr said it could take 2 weeks for the rash to go away.

Glen loves his little brother, as you can tell by the picture. He likes to hold him and touch his feet, hands, head and face. Occasionally he will hold the bottle and help me feed Will. He is also starting to use the potty more and more! If I let him run around with no bottoms on, he just goes to the bathroom and sits on the potty when he has to pee. Occasionally he will let me know he is going potty. Usually though, I go in to check the potty and he has peed. And some days he won't use the potty at all. Glen has moved up to Pre-School one in daycare. He seems to really like it. He doesn't get to see his girlfriend Eva as much but they do see each other at snack and lunch time. I was told that he stands at the door to his classroom hollering out her name before they sit down to eat. When I picked him up on Thurs. he was in the classroom with her and gave her a very big hug and kiss when we left. I'm gonna have my hands full with this boy when he gets older I think!

Sam has been working very hard this summer. Lots of over time and the heat is really doing him in! He hanging in there and ready for the fall and a vacation! I've been trying to get back into a rhythm and a schedule. So far, so good. I have a lot of catching up to do on the scrapbooking and of course on here! The Little Engine that Could's mantra has become my own. If that little train can do it, so can I!!
