Halloween

Well- This was William's face most of Halloween! 

 He had a blast people watching during the parade and trick-or-treating at all the stores on Washington Street. We did get a few smiles later when we were not around too many people and when it was a bit calmer!  But, we just love this picture below.  We can't stop laughing when we look at it! 

 I just love this picture!

........and this is W's favorite toy lately-a  Phone! 

Go figure.  He pushes the buttons and then puts the phone to his ear and says *"Heyyyyyy!"  It's too cute and he loves it.  He will spend forever mumbling into the phone walking around the apartment.  I would love to be able to decode what exactly he is saying.   

First Birthday Photo Shoot

Here is a sneak peak of Angie's wonderful work!

We had a blast at Botanical Gardens taking W's one year pictures.  I think my parents, Dee Dee and Papa, had as much fun playing as William did!  We can't wait to see the rest of the photos! (These are just in the first 15 minutes!!)  Angie does such great work!!!  We are more than pleased with the few we have seen! We will be overwhelmed when we get to see them all!!!

William had a great first birthday! 

We had our family over to celebrate at my parents house in Birmingham.  We  had good food, great cake and bunches of fun!  William was overwhelmed with all the people and new goodies!  He is such an amazing baby and I can't believe it's been a year since we first held him in our arms!  We thank God everyday for blessing us with a happy and healthy child!  Oh- and we can now sleep through the night!  Another little blessing we are very thankful for!

(I will add more pictures from his party when I can up load them)

At William's one year check up he weighed 24½ pounds and I can't remember his height off the top of my head and I left the sheet at my parents house in Birmingham.  But, he is in the 75% for weight and 100% for height!  So, he is just perfect :)  And, finally we are caught up on shots!  That is a great feeling!!! 

Hello Fall!

After all the rain we had this week this looked like the perfect option for a Saturday morning!

 So we packed up our little family and headed to Abma's Farm.  They had a Hayride, Pumpkin Patch, Petting Zoo, yummy Market and much more! We had a blast and the beautiful Fall weather made for a perfect day!

 A family photo before the Hay Ride!

 Another family shot!

W loved the pumpkins! 

 He didn't put his little pumpkin down!  He even held it tight in the car on the way home:)

 Not too sure about the Hay!

W had so much fun he did not make it to the interstate!

Lately

Last weekend a picture of our 7:30 am park date!  Justin and William had a blast together!  William just loves the park and he is a little mover now!  But, lately we have been stuck inside because of this yucky weather.   Below are some of my favorite pictures from the past week and a half.  Enjoy!  Oh, by the way William is walking!  No good pictures of that just yet!  Hopefully soon:)

 William absolutely loves corn!

 We're a climber!

 Sorting his clothes!!!

 Playing with daddy.... look at those eyes!

 So tired!  Watching the Backyardigans....  man he loves them:)

 William colored his first picture! 

I was anxious to find something to pass sometime during the rainy days. 

We tried coloring and he seemed to enjoy it....  Well you will see below:)

Eating the crayons was the best part!
