Lauren's blanket

My Friend Lauren from PA sent Wills this handmade quilt when he was born. I kept meaning to take a picture of it for her and I just recently got around to it. Here is the little man and his quilt that he loves. Thanks a bunch Laur we love you!

teeth

he really fit pretty nicely in the sink. I was also thankful to see him sitting and not standing.

Sometime in January we noticed Wills chipped tooth turning brown so we took him to the dentist to make sure everything was ok. Fortunately she said discoloring was normal and that it looked like it wasn't a cavity and he would probably be fine. She mentioned possible repair work in the future but for now just to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected. All this to say her other instructions were to keep it clean. Wills enjoys brushing his teeth and he and daddy have a routine they follow every night. I know this because he tries to incorporate it in our morning teeth brushing. Wills runs to the bathroom several times a day and says teeth. One particular day while I was doing dishes it was unusually quiet, any mother knows that is a clear sign of trouble, so I went in search of Wills. Here is where I found him.

This is how he gets on the sink. He climbs onto the toilet and then pulls himself onto the sink. Pretty impressive!
He sure does love toothpaste.

the "big" bed

Wills loves to goof around pretty much anywhere. Any time after a shower he jumps up on the "big bed" and jumps around. He lays himself down on the pillow pulls the blankets up and says nigh nigh. He then laughs and jumps up. He sure is fun and so cute. This particular day he didn't want me to make the bed, which is my usual occupation while he is jumping around (you can imagine how well that works :), so I grabbed the camera (for the purpose of this particular post) and decided to take a few pictures. Wills wanted to see every picture after I took them so I decided to get in on the action and take them of us both.Not such a bad close up for not being able to see

hanging with Kate

The other day Kate came over to play for a couple hours while Chrisy did some errands. Kate is my oldest brother Dan's youngest daughter. She is 8 months older then Wills. Other than the normal squabbles that kids have they had fun together. Here they were hanging out in his crib together.

Hanging out with dad

Saturday afternoon we were sitting down watching Tiger play some amazing golf when I look over to see my boys sitting together. You might be thinking that isn't unusual and you would be right but check out this cute little scene. I thought it was one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

Wills was very comfy just snuggled in there. Oh I just love my little baby (and his dad :)!

snow

We took advantage of the lower snow levels we have had recently and headed up to play with Katie and Canyon Allen. Wills wasn't so much sold on the snow at first but he thoroughly enjoyed walking all over outside. He and Canyon are so cute as they go adventuring together. Last week Wills (who is two or so months older then Canyon) taught Canyon how to sit in puddles. I am sure that is a talent Canyon will use for the rest of his life. It is really fun to have the little guys playing together every week.


Katie let us borrow some gloves but there was no way Wills was keeping them on.

Doesn't he look so cute in his vest and beanie he got for Christmas.


These are low swings but don't they just look so grown up!

Wills doesn't have any good snow boots so when he walked in snow he got upset cause his feet were cold.

Cupcakes

We had a special meeting for church where we were assigned desserts. So we went for two birds with one stone and decided to make chocolate cupcakes therefore fulfilling one of mommies midnight dreams about food (no joke I woke up thinking about chocolate cupcakes) and also bringing dessert. Well turns out another friend brought cupcakes as well so we both took a lot home. To get to the point of this insignificant story Wills climbed onto the table and helped himself. Wills doesn't actually like the cake part of cupcakes, he simply likes the frosting, so we took out the extra frosting and gave him another serving. What's the point of being a mom if you can't give special treats :)
