This is the last of the gummy grin pics, since his two bottom teeth decided to make their debut last week. That made for an interesting few days. How many teeth does a person have in their mouth??





He's really good at scratching on apples with his new teeth :)

Happy Will at the pool. We're sad that pool season is almost over, we have had so much fun going each week with Mandy and Riley!

Here are a few pictures from Will's first dinner outing sitting in a highchair.

"I want some of that"

"Hmm, I don't think I like the taste of that"

And finally, Happy Birthday Daddy!

I started this post a week ago while Will was napping one afternoon & I'm just now getting back to post it after who knows how many pampers, a ton of wipes, a trip to the doctor & way less baby food :) I'll leave it at that...we're on the mend thank goodness!

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!

Another Week Over

Last weekend Will went to his first Astro's game. I knew we were pressing our luck going to an evening game - right when he normally goes to bed. We made it 4 innings, which was better than we expected!

Will was thrilled about being at Minute Maid - can't you tell!


Please excuse the paci, he would go nuts when the crowd started cheering. You do what you have to do!

Will had a lot of fun playing with Riley this week. Miss Mandy is so cool, she let the boys play with markers! We went swimming with Riley this week too, the boys did their first dunks under water. I don't have any pictures to share of that yet.

We also visited Paige this week. I was able to catch Will and Paige holding hands, so cute!

We definitely have to get Will a chair, he loved sitting in Paige's pink chair!

Will has learned how to position himself on his belly - he loves sleeping this way!

Yea for the weekend! I'm excited about watching some Lost - I'm not sure what we'll do when we're done with season 4, since season 5 isn't out yet...

A few pictures

Silly boy with his stacking rings - he may have had a little help getting these on his arms :)

Will loves the jumperoo. Thanks so much cousins Reece & Joe for letting us borrow it!

"Hey Riley, come with me!"

Inappropriate? Yes. Funny? Yes!

Will is really into reaching for anything that I have in my hands - a glass, the phone, a remote control. So I have given him his own play cup. Who knew a plastic cup could be so entertaining!

Happy baby!

1st time swimming on the 4th of July. In packing for my 2 boys, I forgot my suit so I had to get in in my clothes, I couldn't miss out on his first time in the pool!! I ddin't get quite the reaction I was anticipating. He wasn't really excited or mad - I guess he thought he was in big bathtub!

Floating with Daddy.

Here is what Will thinks of the vacuum cleaner. He doesn't mind it while he's sleeping, I guess I should run it while he's awake too.
