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.

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!

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

Look at me, I'm ready for school! Thanks for the backpack, Nana!



Special boys


Papa makes the best towers! He builds them... then I destroy them!
