Way Back When-esday

This picture is from October 2007. Will was almost five months old. I love the picture because it is one of the first ones we have of him smiling. He did not smile at all until he was three and a half months old (according to my records, the other three kids all smiled at five weeks old). In retrospect, this delay, along with his delay in focusing on us, was probably due to his strabismus (no doctor ever told us that, but it is what I suspect). Plus, he had reflux, and he may not have been all that happy that often. But when we captured this picture, it was my favorite for a long while, because I thought we were finally seeing his true personality come out. Now, a year and a half later, he still has that very same smile, and he shows it to us ALL of the time. He is absolutely the sweetest kid on earth.
