Will sneezed...

...and then this happened:

Hope this made you giggle on this post-holiday Monday.

need a laugh?

this guy has a few to share:

4 month update + giggles!

William had his 4 month check-up today, and I am so proud of him! He didn't scream at the doctor, and he did very well with his shots (considering...). His development seems to be right on track, and he is a very healthy growing boy! Here are his official stats:

Weight: 15 pounds, 9 ounces (70%)

Length: 26.5 inches (93%) WOW! Tall like daddy!

Head: 16.75 inches (51%)

After the appointment, Will took a little nap while Matt and I grabbed lunch. Then we headed home to what I assumed would be a somewhat rough afternoon, based on Will's reaction to the 2 month shots. We've been home for almost 3 hours now, and so far SO GOOD! I was even able to get Will's first giggling video this afternoon! Definitely didn't think that would happen after shots! I've been getting Will to giggle by bouncing him in front of our big mirror, but this afternoon we were playing in his high chair, and I started singing the ABCs really fast (who knows why?). He thought it was hilarious! He even repeated his gigglebox performance for the camera. Enjoy!

Will is so much fun these days. Smiling, babbling, shrieking, laughing, and generally having a fabulous time. Here are a few of his favorite and least favorite things at 4 months.

Will LIKES:

• squealing & shrieking - especially when in his bouncy seat (see video at the bottom for an example)
• playing in front of the big mirror in our bedroom
• playing in his bumbo chair (but just for short periods of time)
• being outside
• walks in the baby bjorn - he loves this now that he can face outward!
• toys that rattle or light up
• the woombie - I'm beginning to wonder how the transition to sleeping without this lovely zippered bag is going to go...
• the television - he loves watching the lights and colors
• any kind of playing that involves being bounced or lifted high in the air (especially fun with dad!)
• Rolling onto and sleeping on his left side
• Sucking on his hands, toys, blankets, or anything he can get into his mouth

Will does NOT like:

• being tired - he is no longer able to nap well when we're out and about, because he is just too interested in everything. Unfortunately, this means that he will stay awake until he is overtired, and then have a major meltdown. So we now try to make sure to get those good naps in at home!
• sleeping through the night. (sigh) The days of the 8-9 hour stretches of sleep have left us in this last month. Not sure why, but Will never sleeps more than 5 hours at a time these days. Hopefully this pattern doesn't last much longer! The pediatrician said that little boys who weigh 15 lbs 9 oz really do not need to be eating twice during the night, so it sounds like we're going to have to work on eliminating the 2am feeding. I'm really excited about the possibility of sleeping more than 4 hours, but not excited about how we'll have to get there. Hopefully it won't involve too much crying (from Will or me)!

Here are a couple of 4-month pictures with his bear:

We set up the high chair for fun the other day. I thought Will might like to join us at mealtimes, even though he isn't quite eating solids yet. However - rice cereal is on the horizon, so it's good for him to get used to his chair!

He likes it!

This picture cracks me up. After being in the chair for a few minutes (and several pictures), Will started trying to get out by stretching up, which exposed his.....drumroll please...NECK! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the boy does, in fact, have a neck under there. It has just never been seen in pictures before. :)

I just had to post this picture to show how much Will loves the television. Please note that he is on his playmat with not one, but SIX fun, mind-stimulating items around him, yet when I turn my back for a minute, he rolls onto his side so that he can see the TV! Silly baby!

And last, but not least, here's a video of Will squealing in his bouncy seat. He really cracks us up with his crazy noises! Matt and I think he sounds like a dinosaur. Note - if you're not related to Will, 4 minutes of this might be a bit excessive, but you can get the idea within the first few seconds! :)
