Will celebrated his first Valentine's Day and we happen to think our Cupid is pretty cute! He's blowing bubbles and making all sorts of funny sounds these days, and loves to watch everything that is going on around him. His babysitter says that he's a "little man of action!"
We've also been having fun doing video calls with Cousin Alex. Recently, Aunt Karissa visited Aunt Katie and we got to see Cousin Alex and Cousin-to-Be Hannasch! Check it out in the slideshow.
We also included a photo of the top of Will's head. He has a lot of cowlicks, which photos don't really do justice (maybe a better way to say it is that they are much more interesting in person). His swirls look the those maps of hurricanes that you see on The Weather Channel!
Here are some photos from the past few weeks:

Weeks 9-10
Will had his 2 month checkup (a week late) and weighed in at 14 pounds, 8 ounces! Translation: he's a big fella! He was very brave for his first round of shots. After a surprised yelp and some initial tears from Will, it was Mama who had to get herself together before heading back out into the waiting room. They don't tell you about this in the baby books.
We tried giving Will a bath in his mini-tub, but he wasn't so sure about it. From his perspective, there's no spray nozzle in the bathtub. From Mom and Dad's perspective, it's not so easy to bathe a squirming child while bent over the tub (even if we do have a nifty gel kneepad). So, it's back to the "spa treatment" in the kitchen sink for a few more weeks, while he still fits! We'll all enjoy it while it lasts!
After trying to beat some rainy days and new-parent exhaustion, we gave up on our planned hike in Marin and decided to try an urban hike in Golden Gate Park instead. Elizabeth found some extra energy along the way; Jason commented, "I don't think that you've walked this fast in a year!" We're always amazed at all the activities that take place in the Park - for example, you may recall our lawn bowling match back in July. On this hike, we passed the pétanque area (and yes, if you continue to read this blog, you will learn about many games you didn't know existed).
Will has also been discovering his feet - he loves to lift them up over his head!
