It's been a while...

Hi friends!
I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post, but everything is going great! I completed my Glenn surgery on March 28th and got to go home just 6 days later, which was wonderful! I have been very busy since then, eating, playing and growing quite a bit. I got a little cold in April which was awful. It really stinks to have the snots and not be able to blow your nose! Mom and dad and my sitters, K.C. and Penne nursed me back to health with persistent nose suctioning and the vaporizer and in about a week I felt as good as new...and just in time for Easter! I had a fantastic Easter with my family and I finally got to meet my cousins, Bea, Ethan and Hannah. It was so much fun to go to church with mom and dad, to my Aunt Melissa & Uncle Brent's house and then over to my Grandpa & Grandma Butler's house. It was quite a busy day!

You would not believe what a big boy I've become in the past month and I will be 7 months old on May 5th! I am sitting up on my own, making lots of noises and laughing, picking up all my toys and putting them in my mouth, and I even try to play with Shelly from time to time - but she doesn't seem especially interested in me. I am also eating more solid foods like fruits and veggies but my favorites are still sweet potatoes and bananas. I went to the pediatrician and got my 6 month vaccines and they told me I weigh 17lbs 14oz and I'm 26 inches long! That puts me in the 50th % for weight and 90th % for height - maybe I'm going to be a tall guy like my daddy! I also had a checkup with my cardiologist and newborn medicine and they said I look just great. I am still enjoying my Sundays with my awesome Aunt Lizzie who watches me while mom and dad go to church. I also love going outside for walks around the neighborhood...if only this rain would stop! My mom and dad have been busy setting up some outings for me and I am so excited to meet some new people and especially some new babies!
Love,
Will
