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!

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!

Guess we need to invest in something a little more William-proof!

Our Walking Toddler!!!

The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy for all of us. We closed on our house on the 30th of June (praise God), and we moved in with my parents for the next few months. We've started house-hunting in the Hattiesburg area, and plan to move sometime probably in October. So, it's been a big transition for everyone, especially little man. Up until a couple of weeks ago, he'd never slept anywhere except his own room, so it's taken a couple of weeks for him to get his sleep back to normal.

Meanwhile...soon after we moved, he started taking a few steps from person to person. He wouldn't let go on his own, but he was taking 4-5 steps to someone. Well, this week, he's walking everywhere!! I mean, at this rate, he'll be running by next week! He's the cutest thing walking around the house, and even though it's more work for me, at 14 months, I'm really glad that he's started! So here's a couple of clips just to show how far he came in 1 week!

Last week

And....This week!

COHEN

Cohen was a special little boy who was born with several different heart defects, who lost his brave little battle with life almost 2 weeks ago today. I've been praying for Cohen and his family for a long time now, and today, across the world, we are having a blogging day of silence in rememberance of his life. Please join me in prayer today for his parents, Brent and Megan, and their families, as they have his memorial and burial, that God will wrap His loving and comforting arms around them during this difficult time.
