A Fun Visit

Our friends Todd & Cortney came to visit for the weekend with their adorable son Nolan and their sweet dog Girl. We had a great time with a full house.



William loved getting to hang out with Nolan. (He mostly followed him around and stared at him.)



Neifi eyes Nolan's milk.


William loved getting time with Girl.

William's Animal Friends

William is now getting to the age where the pets are really starting to enjoy hanging out with him (except when he decides to interrupt a nap in the sun).


Getting silly with Daddy and Mia.


Telecia and William in the cliche Sistine Chapel pose.


William and Mia watch Daddy as he backs out of the driveway.


Neifi's spot in the window is always amusing.

Photos from Mother's Day

Finally have a moment to share some of our photos from Mother's Day.

We got home from a fun afternoon with the family and found a rainbow outside our dining room.


William and a few of his "mothers" (and dad).


With family like this who needs to hire entertainment.

Mother's Day

We had a great first Mother's Day. I have lots of photos to go through and no time to do that just yet. So, you will be seeing more at the end of the week.

No More Cookies

Back to the usual... excessive amounts of William photos.


At Dave & Brie's house William got a hold of a set of drumsticks and entertained us for a while. I think we will need to get him some of his own.



William has become increasingly more interested in the camera. Hopefully this is just a phase... I wouldn't want all of the photos going forward to be of him looking like he is getting ready to do some sort of kung fu on the camera.


He digs it when daddy plays the guitar.


We should consider renaming Telecia something like "fire" or "trouble" just for the photo captions.

Cookies

Since I can't eat dairy I have been getting some special mixes in order to satisfy my wants for something sweet. This is the back of a chocolate chip cookie mix. Check out the very last footnote. I love that this company takes into account that some people MUST follow directions. But even to the point of eating something that they are allergic to, risking death or at least extreme discomfort?


Note: I do not recommend this mix to those in search of a dairy free, nut free cookie. They do not turn a golden brown and are like semisweet little hockey pucks.

Just Standing Around

Yup, that is pretty much what we have been up to around here. There is still crawling but the boys favorite thing to do is to stand on his own (and he also likes to applaud himself for it). To think, if we adults were to get that excited and encouraged about standing for extended amounts to time... what a different thing waiting in line would be.





Trying to climb a ladder.




A quick shout out to Uncle Keith who gave William this sassy onesie. (It says "If I can reach it I can wreck it"). The photo doesn't do it justice because William is standing next to a frame with cracked and shattered glass. A mother would think she could walk down the hall carrying her son as she does fifty times a day. But the onesie has rung true. So, Uncle Keith, please reconsider if you happen to see more outfits with attitude. A "Yes that was me on the news last night" t-shirt or a "I drove Mom's car into a lake" sweatshirt may seem cute at the time but it isn't as funny on this end.
