Changes

Things are going to be very different around our house next week. Tuesday, Mom starts a new job at the University and Will and I will be going to Montessori School. Mom has been trying to make the past couple of weeks fun. We've been to silver dollar city, a bouncy house place, the botanical gardens, the park, to eat ice cream, and to eat sno cones.

Mommy is going to miss being home with us everyday but we'll have to make it up by having fun on the weekends! I'm excited about starting school and look forward to it. Will on the other hand, has no idea what's coming - hopefully he enjoys it too!

Lots of new Photos!!

Spaghetti Monster

Playing together!

Will got in between the back and seat part of the chair and was walking around in it like it was a walker. He thought it was hilarious.

Mom got us a little pool for the backyard. It's big enough for the whole family. Miles came over and played with us in it!

Will wasn't sure what to think about the cold water.

Nora loves the pool!

Will's First Birthday Party!

Mom took lots more photos but most of the ones of the me, Will, and Miles are just blurs!


The cupcakes that are supposed to resemble thing 1 and thing 2






William's first year in photos (I'll try to get these up on the blog later)

Happy 1st Birthday Will!

Today is Will's 1st birthday. It's hard to believe that its already been a year, but on the other hand, we can't imagine life without him. He's walking like a pro and working on running. His new thing, unfortunately for Mom and Dad, is learning to climb. He climbs on anything he can. He's also quite the mess-making boy. He loves to pull books off the shelf, movies out of the cabinet, and everything he can reach out of the kitchen shelves and drawers. He loves big sister Nora and wants to do everything she is doing. He is off bottles now and only on milk in the sippy cup. He's been pretty easy to transition. He does something to make us laugh everyday. Happy Birthday Will and we love you!

Here are some pictures from today:

Will's First Haircut

Will got his haircut last Friday. It was getting so long. Mom and Dad called him a surfer boy. Now he looks like a little business man!

Enjoying the outdoors

Since the weather has been a lot better lately (minus the horrible hail storm last night), we've been playing outside a lot more. Mom and Dad just need to get us some outdoor toys now...









And a couple more non-outdoor pictures:

Pretty blue eyes

And yes, before anyone says anything, Will got a haircut this weekend. As soon as I get a good "after" picture I'll put it up too. He looks older, blonder, and cuter now!

Meet Lucy Dog

Mom and Dad finally decided it was time for me to be a big girl and give up my pacifiers. So on Monday, Mom took me to build-a-bear and I got to pick out and make a new stuffed animal. I choose a dog (of course!). I had lots of fun putting it together and picking out pajamas for my dog. I named her Lucy. Mom and Dad have been talking to me for weeks about how I would need to give my pacifiers (or mi's as I call them) to baby animals and I would get a new stuffed animal to sleep with. I don't think any of this really hit me until I went to bed Monday. I had quite a fit but eventually did go to sleep. Last night went much better, and I only cried for a little while before going to sleep. I do keep asking Mom and Dad about my pacifiers though. I keep thinking they threw them in the garbage, although Mom keeps telling me they wen to baby animals that need them.

I also had my first outing in panties! Mom and Dad took me to dinner and the grocery store without a diaper!! I even went potty at the restaurant. I really am becoming a big girl.
