Happy 1st Birthday Will!

Christine — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 20:45:42 +0000

Will turned one on July 14th. In my prior post you can see a pic of him getting his bday present from mom and dad when he woke up.

We had a picnic BBQ with a lovely group of friends. (Side note: I used punchbowl.com for the invite and later found a function that shows you who look at their invite. Looks like a lot of folks had our invite go into their spam folder. Grrr.)

Our friend Art (Uncle Art) took photos. I have yet to look at mine (oops, bad mom) so, in the meantime, please enjoy Art’s photos of Will’s bday party!

We celebrated at the Emeryville Marina. We had quite a nice time!

Will Truckin’

We gave Will a walker truck for his first birthday. It took about 3 1/2 weeks for him to use it as a walker. Prior to that he was merely using it as a place to store toys (I put it in the truck, I take it out of the truck).

He is a trucking fool now! I guess he is taking after uncle Conny who drives truck for a living.
Will gets frustrated when he runs in to walls and other things. When he hits the walls he slaps his hand repeatedly on them and gives them a stern talking to.

This is Will waking up to his birthday present on July 14th:

Here are a few pictures from today’s travels:

Portland Visit: Baby Will and Auntie Julia Dance Their Hearts Out!

Julia opened her house for peeps to gather to say hi to me and Will on Thursday, May 14th, Will’s 10 month birthday. After everyone had left, except Jenny, Julia popped on her music set for the following night and started getting her groove on. Will started rocking out with her in his little head banging arm swinging way. Then, wham! The two of them joined forces and danced their hearts out. It was beautiful. Here is a pic. Video to follow… you wont want to miss that! Will squeals and laughs in delight!

We love you auntie Julia!

Will’s 9 Month Old Bday!

Christine — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:43:27 +0000

Will is 9 months old! He loves watching the big kids play and thinks he is one of them. He is so eager to touch and feel and play. He gets so excited when we take him to our local bookstore and he plays with the train set. That table filled with trains and their tracks is showing its age and with wear and fading paint and is a dirty germ pool but Will loves it so. It is his “precious”.

I have come a long with with my mild case of germaphobia. Will’s and my life is better for it. He has fun! And I am more relaxed. Oh yah, and dad is relieved. I did however wash his hands when we got home :}

Will has he two bottom teeth, loves to pull himself to stand, claps, grooves to music and much much more. I love this little guy. He has now been out of the womb longer than he was in.
