Happy birthday to a very special sister

Today is my sister, Johana, 17th birthday. For those of you who don't know, 7 years ago we adopted Johana from Guatemala. We have definitely had our ups and downs but I can't imagine my life without her and I feel like she has been in our family her whole life. I am so lucky to have her as a sister. I wish I could be there to celebrate her birthday with her. I love you very much and I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Video

We got a video camera last week and I've been trying since then to catch William cooing. I took multiple videos but as soon as I turned the camera on, he became silent. So Kyle decided he would try it and of course he got it on his first try. Here's the link. Enjoy!

2 Months!

This is a little late but my baby boy is 2 months old! It's a very odd feeling. On one hand, it seems like he's been around forever and is older than 2 months. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like he's that old. This month has brought quite a bit of changes. He has started smiling as Kyle and I and especially his favorite toy, the window blinds! He has also started cooing and every one in awhile he'll give us a little chuckle. Back to the blinds....William's favorite thing in the house are our blinds. When he's really fussy, Kyle will go lay him down on his changing table which is right by the window in his room, and William instantly stops crying. In the morning when he's laying our bed, he kicks his legs until he's laying sideways and can look at the window. He loves cooing at the blinds, smiling at them, and laughing at them. Its so funny to watch. The other big change this month is William has started SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!! He averages about 6-7 hours a night but has slept up to 8 hours. It is absolutely wonderful. Hopefully he doesn't decide to change and start waking up every couple hours. We had his two month appointment today and he weighs 12.12, he's 24 1/2 in. long. He's in the 75% for weight and the 95% for length.

I wanted to say a Happy Father's Day to my dad and to Kyle. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful father. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I am also very blessed to have such an amazing father for my little boy. William is very lucky to have Kyle as his daddy. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Mariners Game!

The Seattle Mariners were in town playing the Padres so we took advantage of going to a game (William's first and Kyle's first Padres game) with the Mariners. We sat in the all you can eat section and it's very much all you can eat. We had an amazing time with our friends Mike and Rebekah and very much ate our fill of the food. The Mariners won 5-0 which made the whole night even better. William did great the whole game and actually spent most of it sleeping. I can't wait to go to another game. Someday I'll have to take him to Safeco Park to see a Mariners game in Seattle.Rebekah and I
William very much enjoying his first game
