Playin'

William loves this little arch thing... it plays music, the toys on it either spin or go up and down, he hangs on to the toys while they are trying to move and it will go click click click click... trying to move.. he has started to get violent with it lately too... he will kick it and push it over and it lands on top of him, he is getting more aggressive these days. but its an activity that will buy us a few minutes so we can eat dinner or lunch or something while he is playing.

This is a short video of William playing with his toy,

(Enjoy Sunday morning conference in the back ground. :)

EATING

William has become really good at eating his solid foods, he really likes them and can take really big bites and swallow with out making to big of a mess.... EXCEPT for the other night when his daddy was giving him his dinner..... Normally Brandon does really well as you can see from the video, but the other night I was busy and Brandon was giving Will his dinner, later that night Brandon says look at the camera I took some pictures earlier, I look and this is what I see... I had NO idea, he had cleaned it up before I got to see the evidence of this mess! but I do LOVE these pictures!

It's like hes saying "oh come on give me a hug!" I LOVE this picture, his big brown eyes, and those huge little cheeks, I LOVE IT! I just want to eat them. (and on occasion I do! )

Carrots and apple/blueberry all over the place!

cont. last Saturday

these pictures are all from our last saturday photo shoot, they are the william pictures, not the family shots, I thought they needed their very own post. :)

I think this is my favorite

this would have been perfect if brydee wasnt in the back ground. but it's still good! :)

his mud speked chubby feet.. or as stevo would call them.. hobbet feet.

standing on his own.. not even 5 months old.

his little feet... love this pic.He was being so patient with us all day!and then things started going bad....he was over it... and sooo done...
so this is where we stoped... poor little guy...

he is still so cute even when he is crying! :)

just the three of us

Last Saturday after our horse back ride we showered and then took some family photos... there were too many to choose from I didn't narrow it down very good. but trust me there was a lot more! :) just be grateful I stopped my self.

dirty feet... I know why do I let the world see my disgusting feet? I don't know there is something kinda cute about it?

one of my favorites! gotta love that smile

I love this picure it cracks me up... hes like.. SO are we done yet??

Old Western

So last Saturday we went horse back ridding with Steve-o and Sarah. It was a lot of fun. I hadn't been ridding in a long time, and I totally miss it.
From L to R. Sarah, Brandon, Steveo and Me.
It was funny because in all the pictures me and Stevo are next to each other and Brandon and Sarah are next to each other. We borrowed two horses from someone else and those were the horses that knew each other so they kinda stuck with each other. It just looks funny because it looks like Brandon and Sarah are a couple and me and Stevo are a couple. haha

The men... My husband was actually having fun, I was like "sooo maybe you will want to do this again sometime?" he said "maybe..." he is such a city boy! it cracks me up! He wore ankle socks and his dock martins (OK they are from like middle school or something so it's not like they are new.. but still).
It was like they were naturals. They went off all by them selves running like they were in an old western. I was way impressed with their abilities!

from left to right.. Me, Steve o Brandon and Sarah.

The butt shot... and Sarah's horse pooping. gotta love ridding and all the things that go with it. like the smell. :)

the men...

It's almost a guarantee if the wives leave the room they will do one of two things,

1. Pull out the poker chips or

2. turn on a little Nintendo 64.

haha.. gotta love Mario cart, and James Bond 007. We have the very old school Nintendo with Mario brothers and we also have Nintendo 64 so we can play Mario cart and 007. We like to play them occasionally. The classics are the best. I refuse to let Brandon get anything new.

daddy time

I did a mommy and me post so I thought I would do a Daddy and son post too. I love these pictures. I LOVE his smile! and my sweet husband isn't bad looking either!

He finished his nap and then woke up to smile with daddy!

MOMMY & ME

Mommy Time... I pulled out the camera the other day... lets be honest the camera is always out! Not bad for taking them myself! HA HA

I stinking love this Kid!! he makes me so happy! :)

4 months!

William is now 4 months old! he went to his 4 month check up on Friday. his stats were...

Height 25 1/4 inches 70%

Weight 15 lbs 9 oz. 72%

Head 43 cm 75%

He is growing and developing really well!

He likes to talk and smile and grab anything that is in his reach he has two toys hanging in his car seat and as soon as he gets in it he holds onto those two toys (one in each hand.) even while he is sleeping.

He is starting to stand pretty good. when he is fussy if we just let him stand he stops. he loves to stand. The other day I rested him against the ottoman and he was holding on and standing all on his own. He is pretty strong.

once a day at night he gets bottle fed instead of nursed (from breast milk Ive pumped.) and about half the time he hold his own bottle. It is the sweetest thing.

He has started to teeth! not so fun! he gnaws on his hand and fingers my hand and fingers... and teething toys for relief. I put numbing stuff on his gums all the time. he will have a good day and then a bunch of not so good days. Ive been just waiting for them to pop up and announce their arrival!

When he turned 4 months I was going to start solids. So he has had rice cereal for a couple days now. And surprisingly he has done pretty good.

He has been trying to roll over from his back to his stomach but hasn't mastered that yet!

He has also been trying to sit on his own. Trying is the key word, not doing it yet. I am predicting soon!
