Will, wow what a busy few months we have had! Your momma feels bad for not getting around to post a 'three month' update. I had to return to work just before your three month milestone. Ever since then, it's been chaos in the Otto household. It's difficult for me to leave you every morning to go to work. The hardest was my first week back. I cried while driving to the hospital. As each week passes, it has gotten a little easier. Every morning I sneak into your room and peer into your crib and whisper, "I love you" and "I will be back as fast as my little car will carry me home to hold you in my arms." I give you a soft little kiss on the top of your head and it's out the door I go. There is no need worry about you while at work because I know that your daddy loves you to death and takes excellent care of you. Since you spend so much time with dad, you and him have become best buddies. You love being with dad. You smile at just the sight of him. What a great daddy he has become!
You have been learning by leaps and bounds these past two months. You smile at anyone you crosses your path. You've really been exploring your voice lately by cooing and talking back to anyone who will give you attention. We love to you hear you laugh out loud. You are VERY ticklish. Grandpa Dan can really get you giggling. You are also doing very well at rolling over. You seen to prefer to be on your belly. You also like you nap times and seem to take a few cat-naps each day.
You are getting so big too! At your 4 month check up you weighed in at 15 lbs and almost 26 in long. You are eating 7 oz at this point and we have started you on cereal. You seem to really like it and you gobble it right up without too much of a mess!
NOW FOR SOME CHRISTMAS UPDATES....
We had a good time visiting all of the family at Christmas. Of course, you were spoiled with multiple noise making toys and a slew of much needed clothes. The pile of presents you had from Mommy's family was way taller then you!
Some of the most special presents this year were homemade gifts. Your daddy spend hours working away on a surprise little wooden red toy truck. You seem to like it and I'm sure that it will get more play time once you get older.
Your favorite Christmas gift was given to you by your Grandma Debbie. It's a "glow worm" that is a seahorse, so I guess that it's a "glow seahorse". He goes to bed with you every night and his soft music calms you and helps you drift off to sleep. We have named him Sammy Seahorse and he seems to go wherever you go.
Another super special gift that you received was a sock monkey from your great grandma Gracie. She handmade 7 monkeys, one for each of her great grandchildren, with you being her youngest one.
Little Will, your first Christmas was a great one and we can't wait until next year when we can watch you open your own presents!
