Double digits

Will turned 3 weeks old Monday! At his dr. appt he weighed in at 10lbs 3.5 ozs (70th%) and measured 22 1/2 in long (90th%). She said he is doing wonderfully and of course we agree! Here's a look back at last week:
Will at 3 wks

Will smiling at Grandma because he's so happy in the blanket she made him!

We found a great new park and Tommy went on his first teeter-totter ride!

Attempted photo shoot, didn't go according to plan, someone isn't so into photo shoots yet :)

This is how Tommy spent one of his "naps"-he reached out and pulled the tent from the corner of the room into his crib! Nap over because we were laughing so hard!


More kisses for his "baaaaabaaaaahhhhyyy" brother

And we threw Michael a "Superman" dinner party last week (more to come on that later); but basically it was to show him how much we love him and believe in him.

Grandma leaves in 2 days, we'll MISS her and will never be able to thank her enough for all she has done!! But luckily Grandpa Martin, Auntie Sis & Auntie Keeks arrive the next day-yipppeeeee!!!

Brotherly love!!


Someone is a natural big brother! This morning he just wanted to shower him with kisses-sooo cute!


He was probably kissing him for 5 minutes and saying "baaaaahhhhbbbyyy."



And he also likes to push him in his swing...usually starts out slow and then picks up way too much speed.


But Will doesn't seem to mind...yet.



He likes to push Will in the stroller...



And he's teaching him songs at storytime.



So fun!!! And we feel VERY lucky!!

Two Weeks!


Time of course is flying by! Here we are at Hester's -Tommy (with Grandma) after my dr's appt that finally cleared me to pick up Tommy and drive! Freedom!


We took Will to his first Mass at St. Pius (again - Tommy, he was sleeping at home, thanks again Grandma!!).


Grandpa arrived for a couple days and had a lot of fun playing with Tommy and meeting Will


They took him to storytime last tuesday while Will and I rested.


We also took Will on his first outing last week-lunch at Small Planet Deli, also the place of T's first outing as a baby-Will is in front of me, the guy that took the picture didn't know that he was the whole key to the picture, oops!


Tommy watched a little girl on the bars at the park and wanted right up too-he did 3 pull ups!! So impressive-the pull ups and Grandma lifting him the whole time!


The first time Tommy really asked to hold his brother-so sweet!! He's been so good with him, says "baaaaaaby" over and over and hasn't shown any jealousy/insecurities...just wants to climb in his swing & bouncer.


T playing in the rain with Grandpa & Grandma-love this shot!


And little doll baby Will, a couple days ago. He goes in Thur for his 2 wk appt and we'll update you with his "stats." Advanced, I'm sure :)

One week old already!!

We can't believe Will was born a week ago! Here's a look at the past week, I uploaded a new "editor" in hopes of solving the video upload issues, but it's even worse, so the pictures are not in order..sorry!
Here's Will yesterday giving a shout out that he's #2:

He got his first sponge bath yesterday, was fine until we washed his hair and then got a little cold. He rarely cries, such a good mellow baby!

Just a cute shot, already in his bouncer, chillin.


Here's Tommy and Will at the exact time he turned one week...looks really cute right? Tommy started violently shaking the bouncer about three seconds later :)

Tommy took a bath while Will got his, all clean. Will already gives me kisses :)


Will taking a nap over the weekend


Tommy saying hi to Will, this was the first time he really acknowledged him and a lot had to do with the fact that Michael was holding him...Tommy and Michael have been inseparable this past week.

Grandma getting Will some sun. The pediatrician was a little concerned about his bilirubin score, he's been right on the border, so we sunned him all weekend and go back today to get him checked again. At Thursday's appointment Will was just about back to his birth weight and amazingly grew an inch! (ha, we knew the hospital was wrong, so he was really 21 1/2 in long when he was born!)

Will and Daddy resting...a rare shot, Tommy must have been down for the night.

Tommy in his "big brother" present-a tunnel ball pit, it's been quite a hit!

Grandpa arrives today and we're hoping Tommy can finally ditch this cold so we can get him outside more.  Off to feed Will :)

Introducing William Michael Callaghan...


William (Will) was born monday morning at 7:59am. He weighed 8lbs, 12 ozs and they measured him at 20 1.2in, though Michael says he is 21 in long. He was in breech position, so shocked the dr by mooning her :) He's a beautiful mellow baby who rarely cries, but here's a video right after he was born :




Big brother and Grandma came to see us, unfortunately has a really bad cold...
Family of four! Love to all!

Boys...cars...baby!

Michael and his new truck, "Truck." Love it!
Tommy wanted in on this post too, so here's T with his favorite truck, "Tkkknnnonkkkaa"

Tomorrow is the big day! Can't believe we'll have a new picture similar to this one and we'll be a family of four! And I'll be completely outnumbered...
