The many faces of Will!

I find myself constantly laughing at all of the faces Will makes! He is definitely an expressive little boy! Last night he was wide awake and making the most precious faces! I took all of these within just a few minutes of each other!

Half smile and sweet dimple.

Major side eye.

Big bright eyes.

Proof that Will does in fact have a neck under his cheeks and chins.



I just love this sweet boy so much!

And how about this expression? The way he is looking at Kate melts my heart!

Full Heart


Our first official family picture.


The session was complete chaos.  Kate isn't looking at the camera.  I feel "puffy" and blah.

But my heart is full. 

My family is complete. 

I am blessed.

Kate's Thoughts...

Mom, could you make him a little bit more exciting?

Oh wait, I can put stickers on him?  Maybe we can keep him if I can keep decorating him!



I need some too since apparently brother and I need to match at all times...

Yep - we can keep him...but don't expect me to smile while holding him.

All joking aside, Kate is adjusting so well to Will!  She is seriously the best big sister ever - always wanting to help and such a little momma!  Any time Will cries Kate is the first to say "oh no, baby cry. Paci? Bottle? Rock?".  She also asks to hold him multiple times a day.  It really is the sweetest thing! 


Alex and I have really made an effort to each have one on one time with Kate daily so she doesn't feel like she has been pushed to the side because of a new baby coming into the house. I really beleive that is what has made our adjustment so easy!

This sweet boy (who has changed SO much since I took this picture over 3 weeks ago) is blessing our lives so very much!  I cannot imagine our life without him!

Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with blogging soon!  I have so much to share - sweet pictures, an insight to life with two kids under two, and the health struggles Will is currently facing.

In the mean time, we'd appreciate prayers for Will's potential donors.  Due to his health, we had to start the donor search earlier than anticipated.  Unfortunately Will's search has not gone as smoothly as Kate's did and we currently only have three potential donors in the entire world.  These three individuals are undergoing further testing and we are praying one of them is the one who will give Will many more years here on Earth.
