Life lately

Life lately has been wonderful. Having the summer off and enjoying my family has been great. I'm grateful for the job I have as a Mom.

So far we have been to the lake and the river this summer. We have went to Grants Farm twice and hope to visit one more time along with the zoo and botanical gardens. 

This 8th month of William's life has brought so many new things. 

He sits up without ever falling down. He even tests his balance. Crazy man!

He can grasp food more easily and actually get  it in his mouth.

He says Mama and Dada and tries to wave hi. 

He can stand and pull up on things. 

Most crazy of all he CRAWLS now

Playing in an airplane

You finally have a boy cousin.
Welcome Shawn Timothty lll


Visited Steak 'n Shake 

Although Daddy has been working a lot we are grateful for our time together before the summer is over and Mommy goes back to work.

William 8 months

Technically my baby just turned 9 months this week so I am a little behind...better late than never fight??

How can it be that you are so big and learning all kinds of new things. 

Stats: 
We went to the doctor for an ear infection but it was super mild so no meds needed!
He was 20.9lbs with clothes on. When we measured you at home you were 27.50 in. 

Eating:
About 25-30 ounces a day
3 meals and some snacks 
You love to eat! You just started really feeding yourself and eating from our plates. 
Eating is exhausting!

Playing:
You love to still play in your jumper and recently you have loved your Jenny jumper that hangs from the ceiling. You can play by yourself but love company. You love anything that lights up and talks or sings. 

Likes: 
Right now you have an obsession with Mommy! So much so sometimes you don't let anyone else hold you! 
Likes his sit and play puppy 
Loves to take walks outsid. He could be outside all day!

Loves when Daddy makes loud noises, blows his nose and plays peek a boo

Dislikes: 
Not much he doesn't like. He really doesn't like being put in a car seat or broccoli.

Milestones: 

You have two teeth 
You started to crawl 
You say Mama and Da Da 
You love to put things in your hand
You love playing 
You love books 
Siting up and then crawling and repeat is your favorite thing to do. 
You love to sing 
You babble all the way in every car ride 
You smile when we walk by people


This month brought you a new cousin. You have two girl cousins and now you have a boy one. 
You went to grants farm and saw all the animals. 
The tram and the birds were you're favorite. 
You visited the zoo with Mommy and Daddy. 


Dear William, 
 How did we get so lucky to have a baby like you. You are happy, healthy, so handsome and funny. You are always so smiley and such a happy boy. We are enjoying every minute we get to spend with you. I always wonder what your going to be like, what will you do in life and I know you will be great!  Mommy and Daddy hope you always keep a smile  on your face. We hope that you continue to be happy and healthy.
I'll love you forever I'll like you for always as long as I'm living my baby you'll be. 
Love always, 
Mommy

4th of July weekend


This weekend was much needed and great time with family.

Friday morning after Nick got off work we headed to Malden to meet up with Nicks mom and her bf for a weekend of fun. 
We had about a three hour drive and Will did awesome! 
We got there put our suits on and headed to the current river. 
He loved the water especially when he could reach! 

We had a great time and got lots of sun!

Saturday we went out again. 




We had a great weekend! I'm was worried about Will on the boat but he is awesome and did wonderful!
