Another Monday Morning Smile

William has really turned into a little boy. His legs are covered in scratches and bruises and he wants to do everything Rich does. This weekend Rich was working on the brick walkway in the backyard and William was helping. I finally convinced him to come inside for a snack. I had to strip him down he was so dirty. But I got this little video of him. He has his daddy's moves!!!

A Change is Coming

We are getting ready for George and I opened up his diapers last night and put them in his changing table. It was such a shock to compare his to William's. Hard to believe that William was that small. Fun times ahead!

Pink Cupcakes

Well William might not like Helen but not so much that he would not celebrate her 1st birthday. When I picked him up from school, his face and hands were stained pink. He even had a spot on his scalp that was stained pink.

The pictures do not do the stain justice. He was not happy with me taking these pictures, can't you tell.

To Make You Smile

Rich really got William laughing this weekend. It is so refreshing how children will laugh over the littlest things. Not sure why William thought Rich touching him with his foot was so funny but he loved it, and you will actually see him tell Rich to keep doing it. Have a great Monday!!!

Looks like an angel....but he's the devil in disguise

It turns out our sweet little William is not as sweet as we thought. So every morning when I am buckling William into his car seat to go to school, I talk about all of his friends that he is going to get to play with that day and he tries to say their names back to me. There is one sweet little girl in his class that he does not like, not sure why but he does not want to play with her. So this is how our conversation went this morning.

Me: William are you excited about going to school. You are going to get to play with Aiden.

William: (with a big smile, this is his best bud) AE

Me: And Stella.

William: ST

Me: And Alice

William: AL

Me: And Helen (girl he does not like)

Willim: NO!

He told me no he was not going to play with her. I think we might have a problem!!!

WPP Loves his New Bag

Thank you Aunt Susan for the cute bags for William and George. William's school has water play on Friday so we packed his change of clothes and his towel in his cool new bag. He loved carrying it around. George got one too. I did not get a picture of it but it has his name and a monkey on it, How cute is that!!

Beach Trip

Well I guess we are seeing how bad I am at keeping the blog updated. We went to the beach with Susan, John and Taylor last week and had a wonderful time. Susan, my inspiration for starting my blog, updated her blog like 5 times while we were there. So you can check hers out to see how much fun we had. I have some more pictures to add this weekend.

William's New Clothes

I am not sure what is happening, but this seems to be William's outfit lately. He was in a cute jon jon but he went outside,climbed into his little car that was filled with rain water, and his bottom was soaked. He liked it so much I just let him run around with no clothes. Well here he is almost naked and watching Rich do house work.






At least he had a diaper on, in Dublin all he had on was his birthday suit.



Well, we are moving in the right direction.

Taylor, I promise he will be better behaved when we come to visit.

Dublin and the Trip Home

We had a wonderful time in Dublin. William was very busy playing. I have posted lots of pictures. The drive home was long but the best we have had so far. We just broke it up, a lot. We stopped in Atlanta for lunch and played. Stopped at the aquarium in Chattanooga and played lots of movies in the car.

Driving the fire truck, WPP liked it best when Mimi was sitting with him.

Feeding, well chasing the ducks.

He collected fishing worms and stored them in his mini fire truck.

William loved riding the Leo. He has started clapping his hands when he likes something. Mainly over food.

Making sure no one is in his way. He now looks down on his little John Deere Tractor.

Smitty don't you think he is a little young to be driving!



Thanks Mrs. Craig for the doughnut holes.

Playing with whip cream.






Playing at the aquarium

Looking at the butterflies.

Checking out the shark!

"DADA, GET ME OUT!!!!"

He was not crazy about the character.

Seeing the Aquarium was fun but it made for a nice trip home.

Planes and Automobiles

We have made it to Dublin safely. With lots of help from lots of people, Meredith (thanks for the stroller), Catherine (thanks for the ride) and Mom and Dad (thanks for the plane ticket). Needless to say, William is not a good car rider. So a 6 hours car trip and being 7 months pregnant, was not a highlight on my list. So graciously my parents offered to fly William and I down on Thursday and let Rich drive Friday. It was the perfect way to travel. Well… I could not check any luggage because the flight technically went to Birmingham, but had a layover in Atlanta, so we just got off and did not make our second leg. So I had one carry on and the diaper bag. So I am in Dublin with no makeup, no clothes, nothing. But William has all of his things : ). So we got in yesterday and Dr. Bob Shuman and his granddaughter (Mimi) were swimming and William practically jumped in with his clothes on. So Papa Frank put on his suit and jumped in with him. They had a great time. I will get more pictures over the weekend but had not updated in awhile and thought I would put up some pics.
