We're famous! ;-)

We were on the news tonight! I will let the video explain why... the clip starts with a short commercial, so you'll have to be patient! Will was SO fussy while they were here filming, which is a bit ironic since the segment is about infant humor development! My family is here now, so we all got to watch this on the big screen together--it was quite an event! 

A couple more...

I couldn't resist posting two more. Love the black and white.

Christmas preparations...

Will has done a lot of observing today... he watched me wrap presents, clean the fridge, and now he's about to watch me make cookies. I do give him toys to keep him occupied, but he seems to like watching and "talking" to me. Here are a few pics from our day!

Visions of sugarplums...

I think Will is getting a headstart on those "visions of sugarplums" that will dance in his head on the night before Christmas! He's been a sleepy guy lately! Maybe he's resting up for our family, who will begin arriving on Tuesday! Hooray! We're hoping for good travel weather for everyone. But I have to admit I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow. I don't think the timing will be in my favor, but I'm still hoping!

Will's first Christmas tree hunt

It was a GORGEOUS winter day here today...but very cold! We went out on the first annual Sorenson Christmas Tree Hunt at White's Tree Farm in Jericho, VT. What a place! Christmas trees for as far as the eyes can see. Beautiful! We walked around until we found the perfect one. Here are some pics, not in chronological order. 

Inside on a snowy day...

Will and I had a snow day today. We did lots of playing and loved every minute of it! Justin had school, unfortunately. Will is loving tummy time these days and has discovered some new toys!

Winter Will

I have been waiting to put this adorable (handmade!) sweater on Will...he wore it out yesterday, but he didn't last too long in it. Those car seats are WARM! Anyway, he wasn't too happy with the buckling in process! Thank goodness for those pacifiers!

Back to reality!

So, last week Justin went back to work. He survived it and is somewhat back in the swing of things. And we all have adjusted surprisingly well to the routine of daycare--Will seems to LOVE it! He likes being around the other kids, and they are already so in love with him. He gets a lot of attention being the youngest of the group. "Baby Will" is showered with lots of cuddles and songs. It's so comforting to know he's happy there! And he's napping like a champ there too! Here are a couple of photos from our weekend--we did a lot of relaxing!

Sucking his two fingers reminds me SO MUCH of Uncle Tim when he was a baby! :-)

More Thanksgiving pics...

I will slowly add more pictures from our weekend...in between naps (mine and Will's). I am not feeling very well--the germs from the kids at school have caught up with me. Ick. Will is still pretty cranky, so I wonder if he has a cold too. Anyway, we're having a relaxing, cozy time here with Mary, and Will has LOVED getting to know Grammy!

Three generations of good looks. :-)

Smile?!

Not the best shot of us, but it shows the Thanksgiving table!

I drank wine to try to kill the cold virus! Didn't work.

Elliot, read closely!

Did I accidentally crop out the margaritas?

We are thankful...

There's so much to be thankful for this year! Will's first Thanksgiving was cozy, fun, and delicious. I am not feeling especially profound right now, but suffice it to say that we are VERY thankful for all the wonderful people our lives. Happy belated Thanksgiving! Here are a few photos from Thanksgiving at our house. It was a relaxing, small affair. Just Mary, Justin, me, and Will. What a great day!

Grammy Maria is in Vermont!!!!!

We have lots of exciting news to report tonight. First, Grammy Mary is HERE in OUR HOUSE!!! Yippee! We went out for Mexican food and now we are back here at 59 Oakcrest just hanging out. It's great to have a visitor for Thanksgiving! I will be cooking up a nice feast for us tomorrow! 

In other news, Will is FUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSY! Really fussy. He just had his 4-month vaccines and he is not feeling so hot. We also found out he's 14 lbs, 10 oz. and 25-1/4 inches long. Totally average--54th percentile, I think. But he's doubled his birth weight! And he's above average in the cute department. ;-) OK, that was really cheesy. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!
