William's First Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Sitting on Santa's lap


Christmas is so much more fun with a kid! What a joy to watch him laugh and play! We are blessed. Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Pretty sure we could run a Toys R Us out of our house

Pumpkin Patch

We visited the Pumpkin Village at the Dallas Arboretum! It was awesome and I see it becoming an annual trip. I just wish it hadn't been so warm...didn't feel a bit like fall. There was a small petting zoo...William had a blast!

We went with Papa, Gran and Kaanon to the pumpkin patch in Denison. At both pumpkin patches William seemed way more interested in the the hay than the pumpkins!

10 months!

10 months...WOW! I can't believe it! We didn't go to the doctor this month but according to my scale he weighs 22.4 lbs. He got 2 new teeth this month...he now has 2 on top and 3 on bottom! It's amazing how quickly he picks up on things...it seems like he learns something new everyday! He learned two new words this month...bye bye and da da. I'm pretty sure he's refusing to say ma ma just to drive me crazy cause everytime I say ma ma he just starts laughing! He learned how to clap his hands, play peek-a-boo, wave and say bye bye and the most exciting one....signal a touchdown. I have to say I am very proud of him...he is such a smart boy! There were lots of first this month...first Halloween, pumpkin patch, hayride, etc. It has been an exciting month!!! Of course we also had our first ER visit as well...he decided he needed to eat a refrigerator magnet. He was choking and we got the magnet out but he kept coughing and gagging so since he always puts things in his mouth by the handfull I thought he might have actually swallowed one so we went to get an x-ray. It turns out he didn't swallow it...thank goodness!!! He's fearless and into everything...I'm afraid that won't be his last visit but I'm praying it is! William also got to watch his first World Series and it just happened to be the first time the Rangers were there...we were both very excited! :)

I was fixing his breakfast and I found him like this!

Watching the World Series!

Playing with his magnets...these aren't the ones he tried to eat!

First ER visit!

Still in the ER!

Happy Halloween!

I'll post more pics from Halloween and the pumpkin patch later!

9 months!

My sweet little boy is growing up so fast! He weighs 21 lbs 5 oz and is 28 3/4 inches tall. He is so active that he is thinning up a lot! He crawls all over the place and is fast enough to run away from me. He pulls himself up on everything and walks around the house holding onto the furniture...I expect him to take of walking anyday. The boy is fearless...he superman dives off the couch (don't worry we hold his feet) he gets into and destroys everything and he falls several times a day! He now has 3 teeth! Dr. Naylor says he's perfect (of course I already knew that) and she says he is way ahead developmentally. He got to go to his first concert this month...Veggie Tales!!! He loves music and he loves to dance so he had a blast! He is so much fun and I fall more in love with him every day!!!

Another first for Will...and Momma

This is kinda random but I've documented all the other first in Will's life, like his first tooth, first snow, first Cowboy game so I thought I should document this too. Today was Will's first earthquake!!! You heard me right...an earthquake in Texas. Actually it was in Norman, Ok but we felt it here. It was the craziest thing...I put Will in his exersaucer and went back to my room. I heard Emma and Gabby barking like crazy and all of the sudden the whole house shook. I thought it was odd, I listened and I didn't hear anything so I knew it wasn't a sonic boom but I had no idea what it was. It never crossed my mind that it could be an earthquake...but that's what it was...Will didn't even notice! :)

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!!!

I can't believe how fast time flies. 5 months have gone by since my last post and my baby boy is growing way too fast!!! I've got to get better at posting...he's just keeping me so busy!!! :)

4 Months

At 4 months Will weighed 16lbs! He wore #3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes! He also was already rolling over both ways!

5 Months

Will weighed 17lbs and 12oz! He wore #3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes. He started eating cereal, got his first swing and his first swimming pool, got in the lake for the first time, had his first boat ride and started army crawling!

6 Months

My sweet boy weighed 19lbs and 6 oz and was 27 1/4 inches long! He is still in #3 diapers and 6-12 month clothes. He sits up all by himself, hold his own bottle and he weaned himself off the breast. He's getting so big!

7 Months

We didn't have a doctor's appointment at 7 months but according to my scale Will weighed about 21lbs! He is still in #3 diapers and wears 9-12 month clothes. He is growing out of his clothes way too fast! He has learned to use his pinchers so I'm getting pinched a lot and I have to make sure the floor is extra clean...more than once I've caught him trying to eat bugs...I'm not sure where he finds them! He pulls himself up on everything...I say "no" more than I ever imagined! He also got to go to San Antonio, he finally started reaching for me when he wants me...which I love...and he started giving kisses which is just adorable!!!

8 Months

Will now weighs about 22 lbs, still wears #3 diapers and 12 month clothes! He continues to pull up on everything...people, the couch, the wall...anything he can reach. He walks around the coffee table and he has learned to carry toys with him when he crawls so there are toys everywhere!!! He is always making new sounds and faces. He likes to jump and bounce and he dances when he hears music...he dances a lot in church! He likes to stand and jump in bed so we had to lower his crib all the way...I can hardly reach him! He got to go to his first football game and he's been watching football with momma!!! He eats his baby food but he really just wants whatever we are eating. He is such a happy boy...he laughs all the time...it's crazy how much I love this boy!
