Hi everyone,
I'm Will and ever since I was born not breathing, I've felt the need to let the world know that I'm here and ready to party! My brother got all the glory being "first born" and "big brother" and "baby A," blah, blah, blah. I know I'll be hearing about that my whole life. Then I was also the "little one," so I definitely had to call some attention to myself. The nurses in the NICU said I had "personality" from the get go, and mom knows that she is probably going to be hearing that a lot in the future!
Anywho, life has gotten really interesting around here lately. There have been quite a few changes. First of all, dad started getting up at night to feed us too. Jack and I were both like, "Woah, what's going on here? Both parents up again? Did dad lose his job? Oh, man, we're going to have to eat store brand formula." Then, mom got up the next day and LEFT. SHE LEFT US!! What the heck? Then dad took us over to GG's and we were there ALL day until mom came and got us in the afternoon. Apparently she is doing this thing called "working" again. Craziness. She says she misses us during the day, but I think she may enjoy being back interacting with some adults and seeing her kiddos at school. It's all good though because we LOVE spending time at GG's! She plays with us all day and makes us giggle and laugh! Mom and dad keep saying they are so blessed to have her because daycare is super expensive and germy!! We know mom will be back with us soon all day during summer vacation, so it's all good.
Mom and dad keep making a big deal about Jack and I laughing. Apparently it's "cute" and makes them smile. I figure, we'll appease them and maybe they'll keep us around awhile. We figured out that these things that we kept seeing are our HANDS and we like to put them together and use them to grab our toys. Mom and dad have also started putting us in these bouncy things. Man, it's so cool! We get to sit up like big boys and jump. We really get to giggling then and everyone thinks it's adorable!
During our "Tummy Time." It's tough to get a picture when we are both looking. Yes, we do that on purpose. I was cracking up here and Jack is looking confused (as usual!).We celebrated our First Easter at the end of last month. Next year we'll be excited to participate in the Easter Egg Hunts with everyone else!
Looking dapper in our Easter suits.

With Papa Stott. Apparently we look just like him. Could be worse, I suppose! :)
Here I am checking out what the Easter Bunny brought me. Where's the candy?
With Auntie Ashley and Auntie Erin
Snoozing while everyone hunted eggs! Being a baby is hard work!
Well, I guess that's about it on my part. I need to get used to the idea of sharing (at least that's what they keep saying), so I will let Jack tell you a little more about what we've been doing this month. Oh, and don't get used to me being the "little one," I'm catching up with that fatty brother of mine, and pretty soon you're not gonna know who's who hehehehe :)
Peace out homies,
Will-I-Am
Howdy folks,
I'm Jackson, AKA Porkchop! I'm the BIG brother. My LITTLE brother gave you a fine introduction into our adventures this past month, but I'll do my big brother duties and fill in what he left out. Since I'm apparently the "fat" one, I guess I should be the one that tells you we have started eating sweet potatoes and we LOVE them! Will and I both get super excited when mom and dad put us in our high chairs because we know what's coming next! I do have to say that my brother is a WAY better eater than I am. I still like the bottle better... maybe 'cause I'm a little lazier. Mom and dad are mentioning that we may try some new foods soon, like peas or something. We'll have to see how that goes!
One of our first eating experiences. I was really thinking about how this was gonna go down, but Will thought it was going to be awesome!
Mmmmm... ready for sweet potatoes!!
We went to our first football game last weekend. Mom and dad's alma mater, Charlotte, had their very first Spring game ever! We tailgated with some of mom and dad's friends and our Nana and Papa. It was really fun, but it will definitely be fun when we are old enough to run around and play with the other kids in the parking lot! Dad says he can't wait for one of us to yell, "FORTY" and the other answer with, "NINERS!" Not sure yet which I want to be!
Tailgating with Nana and Papa- we didn"t like the sun too much, but we rocked out our green overalls from Grandpa and Gram Andrade!

The Niners won! Already got jokes.Saturday we walked for the March of Dimes with mom, dad, GG, and our Great Grandparents Stott. Mom got a little emotional a few times (what's new, right?!?!) during this because there were so many t-shirts and signs with babies who hadn't made it. They always call us "Miracle babies," which I guess might be true, since we had a rough start. Even though it was cloudy, it turned out to be a great day and lots of fun! We even had a fun lunch afterward at Wild Wing Cafe. Those wings sure looked good... maybe next year!
Resting up for the March of Dimes walk after our morning bottle.
The Gang- Mom made our nifty sign at 6 a.m. in the morning. She's a busy lady!
4 generations! Look out world!
With the Great-Grandparents! They came all the way from Iowa to see us!

We jumped into the Bjorns about halfway through the walk. We like our Bjorns MUCH better than our carseats! Wouldn't you?!?!
Us with Auntie Ashley and Uncle Casey.
Had to hit up the Wild Wing Cafe after all that walking!
They said we were too young for beer and wings, so we had formula!
Apparently we were FIVE months old on Saturday! Everyone keep saying it's crazy that we are already that old. Before they all know it, we'll be crawling!
Us being silly!
5 months on Saturday. We weigh around 15 and 14 lbs now!
This months Tie Wednesdays:
Mom forget to lay out our clothes one day and this is what I ended up in! I was also wearing green and white striped socks! Yikes! Will was trying to console me.
Well, I guess that's probably most of our big adventures for this month. We will work on doing some charming stuff this next month, so that mom will have a lot to write about next month.
For now, later gators!
Jackson Thomas
