Babyproofing time??

Will is becoming quite the backward scooter & reacher. Toys are scattered all over the floor & of course he goes to the cabinet. I think it's time to baby-proof the house! The outlets are already covered, choking hazards are next on the list!


He gets into this crawl position, rocks around and then falls back to his tummy. I'm ok with that :)


Today Will was hanging out in his crib while I was changing the sheet & putting away his clothes. This is how it started: (*please excuse the carrot spit up, he now has a clean sheet!)

I got the dirty sheet out, threw it in the hamper, grabbed a clean sheet and turned to find him like this. I love his "what is going on?" expression:And here he was a couple seconds later!

What a difference a year makes

This week we celebrated Will's 6 month birthday! I can't believe it's already been 6 months. Each month gets more fun. He's sitting now and has been a super eater not rejecting anything I've given him. I'm hesitant to say this, but he's even been a really good sleeper!!

On the 12th Michael came home and pointed out that this ultrasound pic of Will was taken August 12, 2008. I was 12 weeks pregnant! I can't remember how big he was (one of those things you think you'll never forget!) probably a several inches long & weighing in only in the ounces.


And here he is August 12, 2009! We go next week for his 6 month appt. I'm anxious to see how much he's grown!

We have a sitter & other fun!

I'm so excited that Will is sitting up on his own! It's so nice for both of us to sit on the floor and play. He still tips over from time to time, but is getting better all the time!


My two main men! Everyone says they look just alike, it's hard for me to tell.

Will has a variety of veggies on his menu, his favorites seem to be peas and carrots. I'm making this assumption based on the fact that he opens his mouth wide after each bite! We added a fruit today, bananas. I usually taste each one I give him, just because. The veggies are definitely bland, but my goodness the bananas are super sweet, like bananas foster sweet! Of course he loved them:

Taste testing a lime! I didn't get the squenched up face I expected. He doesn't have teeth yet, so there's no enamel to erode!

Will is totally mesmerized by Pede. He reaches for his ears all the time, thank goodness Pede is so easy going.

We walked down to the park to swing. This is how it started, none too happy.

But that changed!

And finally, a fun play date at Jennifer's! We had a great time, I had fun talking with other mamas and Will had a big time with all his little friends :) So much fun that he feel asleep in his car seat before I even finished buckling him in. Sophie, Beckett, Will & Ben

Gotta Love Texas in the Summer

This morning, as I was getting ready for a big day of playing on the floor, this is what I turned to see in the bathroom. I think we'll stay in today!! The 100 is the outdoor temp & the 126 is the heat index. Even if it's off by 10 degrees it's still hot as fire!
