The Big One!!

Happy Birthday, Will...

It is hard to believe that our little baby turned one today. We have been celebrating this momentous occasion since Saturday.

His birthday party was Saturday afternoon. Thanks to all our family and friends that helped make this a special day. Will LOVED the cake!! See pictures below. (Thanks Mimi for the cute birthday outfit!)

For his actual birthday, we had a lazy morning, stopped by school for a Christmas party/birthday celebration, and ended the evening at Aunt Sarah's for dinner. It was a fun-filled day.

Will is such a busy boy. He is walking all over the place and loves to be outside. He can say DaDa, dog, bye-bye(when he wants to) and mama (but only when he is crying). He almost has the word tree down. His favorite thing today was to take the ornaments off of the Christmas tree and bring them to me.

Here are a few pics from the party...

They say its my birthday!!

What is this?

Cake is YUMMY!!

On The Move

Will took his first steps on November 1st. He has been getting steadier and braver over the past couple of weeks. Here is a quick video from my phone from last week. It is amazing how much better he gets each day. Sorry for the video quality. We had a good Thanksgiving. Will loved all of the yummy food. I will post some pictures when I get them from my mom. We used her camera.

Random Pics

It is hard to believe that Will is already 10-months old. He is such a happy baby as you can see from the pics below. He is just growing into a little boy too fast. Here are a few pics from this past week. He has started taking a few steps this week. We have it on video, but I need to figure out how to post it on the blog.

(It is fun to stand on the couch)

Trick-Or-Treat

Will was a Little Giraffe this year. He didn't mind being in his costume at all. It did get a little warm on Friday night, so I think we was glad when he got to take it off. We had a busy Halloween week. Will's class had a Halloween party on Wednesday. All of the kids looked so cute in their costumes. Then on Halloween, we went to the PHBC Fall Festival, to see Mamaw, and to visit Mimi and Poppa and Sassy and Pappaw's house. We also got to pass out candy to a few tricker treaters. Will thought it was great to dig in the candy bowl, but didn't want to pass it along to the kids. Here are a few pictures of our Little Giraffe ... (Thanks Mimi for making such a cute costume.)

Pumpkin Patch 2008

We went to the pumpkin patch with our AquaMom friends. There was so much to see and do that it was hard to get Will to look at the camera. Here are a few pics...

Busy, Busy, Busy

Will is a busy little boy. He is never in one place for very long and definitely likes to explore his surroundings. Here are a few pics from the past two weeks.

There are so many things to do in the kitchen.

I liked to be pushed on my Tonka truck

Go Tigers!

9-Month Update

Will had his 9-month check-up this past week. He is definitely catching up with the other kiddos now. He was a champ with the shots, but didn't like having blood drawn.

Weight: 20 pounds, 6 ounces. Height:29.16 inches.

AquaMom PlayGroup

Will and I hosted a playgroup for our AquaMom friends. I think everyone had a great time. I can't wait until the kids get a little older and can interact more.
