1 1/2 years...my how you've grown!

My goodness how time flies! Wasn't it just yesterday that I first looked into those big, beautiful blue (now brown) eyes? I'm constantly reminded of how much he's growing every day, and am so thankful to be at home full-time now. It's an adjustment, but we're definitely enjoying our time together. We're slowly getting adjusted to life in Hattiesburg. Our garage has gone from a small tiny walkway down the middle to larger gaps throughout (I can even see the floor!). I'll post pics of our progress later this week.

Today we started out our 1/2 birthday with blueberry waffles (which he tore up), had fun in the park this afternoon, followed by ice cream, and pizza for supper. What more could you ask from an 18 month birthday? Nothing...according to William! Here are a few pics from our day and a couple to compare how far we've come.

Lookout...toddler at the wheel!

Little 1/2-birthday treat

...and he approves!

How we all started...

Game-day!!

Our little bully has his game-day face on!! Oh...and he's quickly becoming a fan of the John-Deere, can't you tell?

Day at the Museum

We recently took William to see the new "Megaladon" exhibit at the natural science museum. It's an exhibit about the largest sharks that have ever lived...and they were definitely huge! We all had a great time, and William's favorite part....of course, the fist tanks!

In the parking lot...the excitement was palpable!

Seeing how we sized up next to the Megaladon!

Who doesn't like riding a big frog?

William's Dance, Revisited

It's been a while since I've been able to getting William dancing on video, which is pretty unbelievable, because he's dancing constantly! He loves music, and has even learned how to turn on the music on my iphone...amazing! We were on our way to Lowe's here. I was in the backseat riding with him, and was able to catch a little jig! He was a little restricted in the carseat, but you get the idea!

Wordless Wednesday

Summer Fun in My New Trunks!

A couple of weeks ago we took William to a little splash park to beat the heat for a little while. He loves the little splash fountains at Renaissance, so we were sure this would be a huge hit...WRONG!! He hated getting his face splashed, and ended up just walking around the edges of all the fountains. He got to show off his new swim trunks, though, and he loved seeing all the ladies, of course!! I think next time, we'll just stick to the freebie at Renaissance!

Electronically Gifted?

William's newest obsession is anything that has a knob or cord attached to it. In fact, that's all he wants to play with all day, every day. From cell phones, to on/off switches, to the AC controller he's all about anything electrical. Of course, he takes after Jay, as I still am challenged in this area, so I'm thrilled that he'll one day be helping his mother figure out the latest technology!

Yesterday, William and I were upstairs, and I started hearing what sounded like music coming from the other room. He's always loved turning the speakers and CD changer on and off, and today, he found the play button. I walked into the room where he was, and he was just dancing! Here's a little clip...

Wanted to end with this sweet smile...which has 7 teeth, by the way!
