40 weeks gestation, 40 weeks of life

So I get these weekly emails from a couple of baby websites, informing me of just where MW "should" be at, generally speaking, for his age. Monday's was week 40. It reminded me of that all-consuming goal of reaching that milestone 40 weeks during a pregnancy. Funny how both seem so long yet so short all at the same time. MW has been alive as long as it took to get him here in the first place.

And on that note, he hit 9 calendar months recently as well. As you know I try to take pictures on each month's "birthday", but you'll see in this one I was a few days late. Better late than never though, right?

The usual disclaimer: The child needs a haircut. The child's pants are too short. The child's face is dirty. Most if not all of those are due to the chaos that was his very first sickness, however I cannot promise they will not show up in future photos. You have been warned!

  1. He's a doll no matter what!!! I think his hair looks cute. Now, if you let it get as long as Kate Hudson's sons hair was, then we'll talk! So glad to hear he's feeling better. Much Love, Grandma J.

  2. From Aunt Mary In Sacramento:
    Hello adorable family. Julie sent me Will's blog and I have enjoyed seeing and reading about him since I never seem to get to Iowa. Thinking this August though when we are back for John's mom's 80th bday celebration. Anyway, what an adorable little babe you two have! Of course when I first see his pics I immediately think of Josh at that age, but them look at the picture of Maggie and W and see his mommy too. So happy to hear everything is going well with your busy family. Love to you all!
