My first haircut!

Handsome little boy

Being so good :)
The nice hairdresser gave me animal crackers!

This isn't so bad (Thanks for the suggestion to go to Snip-its, Aunt Beth!)

You ladies decide what "do" I should get, I'm just happy with my crackers :)

Playing "traffic jam" with Daddy. He used to play this when he was little, and he showed me how to line them up just right.

Sweet sound

I can't get enough nature

Grandma and me on the trail

Such a happy kid :)

Dad turns 28!

Can I have a balloon?
I practiced singing "Happy Birthday" all day. But when the time came to sing, I was way too mesmorized by the candles!

Yummy cake.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Random Will-ness

Helping Grandma clean after dinner. (I always like to help "sweep")
Mommy put beans and noodles in my water table. Fun!

Crazy bed-head

Peek-a-boo!

Crazy shades

A boy and his dog

Sadie can always get Will laughing! It is so funny to watch these two play :-)

Will's new game

So cute! My new favorite game is creeping up and hiding behind my Mom. When she says "Where's Will?" I grab her back, and she finds me - I laugh really hard when she turns around!

Green baby

Mom thought this looked like an add for cloth diapers!

Hair cut!

Leaning in so Mom can get a better angle.
Like my hair? Mom couldn't bring herself to cut my curls in the back!

A day at the park

Enjoying the shade and looking SO cute!
I mostly like to walk around and watch other kids when I visit the park.

And exploring plants, of course.

Having my snack under a nice tree

Smart cookie

Will is getting pretty good at communicating with us, although it can be hard to capture on camera! He only says a few words; "Mama, Dad, Moo, ball, and duck (sometimes)", but he recognizes and points to many different words and shapes in his books. Our developmental specialist suggesting teaching him some sign language, since he seems to know so many words that he just can't form yet. So far, he has learned to sign "Please, more, and thank you". We are so proud of him, and love watching him learn new things!

Elephant!

Will always turns right to the page with the elephant on it in his book "Mommy loves me" :) So cute!

4th of July!

Ooh, sparklers!
That. is. awesome. Can I have one, Papa?

Nana and Mom

Mom and Dad got to go on a date for their anniversary. On the menu: Italian food, great wine (thanks to Uncle Rick!!) and fireworks!!

Nana and Papa's visit

I think my water table is too short for Papa
We went for a walk in the rain. It was fun!


Watching me can be hard work!

Playing dress up at the museum
