He rolls, he laughs, he swings...it's the new and improved baby Will

Time is flying! (Well, except for the middle of the day when Britton's gone and I'm tired.) Will has reached all kinds of milestones.

#1. Rolling
He can do a back to front roll in less than 5 seconds. I forgot that one time when he was on a bench, and I felt REALLY bad when I turned around to find him on the floor. Luckily babies heal fast. (And they won't remember it. Unless someone keeps this blog to show him one day. d'oh!)
#2. Laughing
Hearing him laugh is the best! He sometimes sounds like a donkey, but most of the time it's a cute baby squeal. Over the holidays he especially liked laughing when Aunt Erin smooched the top of his head, and when Aunt Clare just acted weird.


#3. Swinging
I finally have a reason to use the playground in our backyard! And we've had the best weather for it lately too--almost 70 degrees and sunny! Time to meet some more neighbors...finally.

I successfully navigated a new insurance and doctor's office, and Will had his 4 month check-up not too late. The results are not surprising. He is average for height, and still well above average for weight. The rolls don't lie. We like to call that middle roll the "Colver roll" in honor of the original Obeseius Maximus.

Cute pics of my favorito 4-month old infant. He is TOO precious for words!!! Can't wait to see the back to stomache roll in person.

WHAT!?!?! You've GOT to be kidding me! After all those years together, the good the bad, the fat and the fatter, and what is my memorial??? Shoot, couldn't I have at least got the bicep or the calf muscle? I mean, take no offense, Will does have some pretty handsome thighs so I see what you were getting at, but the sheer grandeur of them makes me think of something a little more, can I say, "Bennion-esque"... ;)
Just you wait, mini Colvers will come, with fat rolls of their own to be named. Beware...
