Finally Updating

I have clearly been a very bad blogger lately. Last Thursday I felt sick all day long from the insane heat/humidity at boot camp. This week I am back to working everyday/40 hrs for the next two months. So, blogging just hasn’t happened.

We’re about to head out in a few hours for a mini weekend get away with our Community Group and Will is napping, so I figured I’d better get to updating!

Will is doing great. He’s happy and he’s developing at a rapid pace. He’s so cute and looks like such a big boy drinking from his bottle all by himself. He’s gotten a lot better with the sippy cup. This morning Kevin made pancakes and he drank a good bit from his cup. He’s growing up on us.

He has started this new thing when when you pull out the camera he starts blinking his eyes to cheese it up for the picture. It is so funny. He had spent the afternoon with his aunt Kayse on Tuesday before she headed back to school on Wed. He had a blast and wanted a pic before she left. Little ham!

Lately he’s actually been a little more snuggly with us. Mainly because I think he gets so worn out by evening. I enjoy every minute that I can get!

This little boy is on the go at all times. Daddy was outside mowing and he wanted to be out there with him so badly. He was so cute. He kept crawling to the back door and banging on the windows. Hi daddy!!!!

Sweetest little boy in the world right here!

Another big cheese from Will! Melts my heart.

Love going in to watch him sleep and seeing his bootie in the air.

His other rather new thing is pointing. For a couple of weeks he’s been pointing at everything and everyone. I keep trying to tell him it is rude to point, but he does with such a cute smile on his face. :) We are busy planning his first birthday – can you believe it?!? He’s 11 months old! Really? Is it possible? It is.

Uncle J came and spent some time with us last weekend. Mom and I got back from a little shopping and found them like this. So incredibly sweet! He had so much fun visiting with you J!Another funny thing lately is Will’s love for his monkey. He loves that thing! Me, him and the monkey did some cuddling recently. I am sure Will’s love for the monkey has something to do with the funny sounds we make with it. He gets crazy excited when he sees Mr. monkey!

Well I hope you are all staying cool and doing well! I’ll try not to slack so much and update sooner next time!

Hot, hot, hot!

I am pretty sure everyone in Texas would agree that hot, hot, hot is the best way to describe things right now! Man the heat stinks. You know what though? It makes me giddy that I’m not pregnant this summer! Hahaha! Oh how I remember the heat last summer. It did seem a lot worse last year!

I am so jealous of this picture below. Will never cuddles with us anymore. It is heart breaking, really. The other night Will was just sitting on Kevin’s lap and Kevin was playing all kinds of music videos online. I guess Will was enjoying it because he happily sat there for the longest time. Eventually Kevin said his head got heavier and then he picked him and the boy was out. I stole him shortly there after because I wanted a good snuggle, but it was really daddy’s doing. On a random side note – here’s what I’ve been up to the last few weeks – boot camp. It is an excercise group that meets in our neighborhood. If I had any doubt that I was out of shape, it was very much confirmed on the very first day. The first day we did pretty much everything in an attempt to benchmark where we were. It was literally embarrassing. Pushups – people were like 40, 45…and I was like 21. Oh geez. Then we ended the lovely session with a run. It wasn’t really that far of a run but it was downhill the first half and straight up hill the 2nd. You might think I’m exaggerating, but this hill is very steep. I clearly couldn’t run it. I thought I was either going to die or yak. It was pathetic. The next day – I couldn’t walk. It was sad really. Every muscle in my body was tight and incredibly sore. Well, I have finished my 2nd week and I am still alive. But I am so bummed that I am so out of shape. Today was more running – that stupid hill again. I did it the first 3 times but when she wanted us to do a 4th – I was out. It wasn’t happening. One day I’ll run all the way up that thing. Maybe.

Enough of my complaining about my out-of-shapeness. We did have our lovely friends in our community group over Sat night which was a lot of fun. We did kabobs. We were proud of them and took a pic. They are very time consuming to assemble! I didn’t get any pics of our friends, but here is some of what we ate! Now to this little boy! He looks so sweet, doesn’t he? ha! He’s not! Just kidding. He is sweet as ever but he is a handful these days. He is full of energy and is constantly on the go. He continues to be fairly clingy and wants to be held a lot. I don’t mind that at all. However, what I do mind is fighting him to put on a diaper or clothes every.single.time. Why is it so torturous? I really don’t understand. I am starting to master putting on a diaper while he stands. It is awesome! :) But he is so fun, too. It is an interesting combo. His sweet smile and his laughter just make your heart explode with joy. I love him so stinkin’ much. I just kind of wish he would lay there for 2 min while I dress him for the day! So Will finally has mastered holding his bottle! It was never really an issue of physically holding the bottle. That he could do. But he would never hold it while he drank. Now he does. So now we’re working on the sippy cup! He’s not a huge fan. I am not sure if it is because it has water in it or what, but he hasn’t really taken to it, yet. He’ll get there. We’re also really trying to work on finger foods. Some days he’s just not into anything other than a puff. This picture is just for fun. What a cutie!

Well I hear the little man waking from his marathon nap. I better to rescue him! Enjoy your weekend!

Busy Boy

While I am in the video mood - here is another one. This just shows how busy our little boy is all...the...time. :)

Crawling Will Style

Well, I finally am uploading video of Will's awesome crawl! He has done this same sweet style every single time. Always the same knee/same foot. He's gotten really fast at it, too! Here it is!
