Our 1 year old

On 07/07/07 at 7:27 and 7 weeks early, our sweet little William David entered the world and blessed our lives. It was a crazy, scary time but ohhh, how things have changed over the past year. Will is 1 year old today! Sometimes, I thought we'd never see this day. It's been a long, but precious road and we all couldn't be happier. And who knew, that on his 1st birthday, he would already be a BIG brother!

Below are some pictures reflecting back on the week he was born. He has really come so far!

Getting stronger and bigger

3 weeks later, and going home! He was scarcely 4 1/2 pounds and barely fit in the carseat. Now, he's grown out of it and the seat belongs to Caroline.

Home for the 1st time.

Look at me now! Sitting up, pulling up, and trying to walk! Will is a strapping 19 pounds. Quite different from his 4 pound start in life.

Concentrating on yummy icing!

We will have his official party on Saturday, more pictures to follow!
