Merry Christmas

Cousins and Loving It...Sometimes

Tonight Conrad came over to play. Will was upset at first, but was soon excited to have someone different to play with.

Will spent most of the night showing off and bossing Conrad around. (Conrad did get the last laugh by stealing Will's cup)

In the end, Will and Conrad found something they loved equally as much... Milk.

Smile at Mom...

Will was having a ton of laughs playing in his ball pit, so I went to get the camera. It turns out that he may end up being more like J. and I than we thought. No pictures please.

2008 (The Abby and Will Review)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Abby and my cousin Caleb made gingerbread houses this year.

Unfortunately Abby's didn't make it through the final building phase.

Will fell asleep early on the way home from a full day of flashing his dimples at various family members. After many attempts, the only thing we could get him to wake up for was Abby's old Fashion Polly set that was down from the attic after having Ella over.

A Good Nap

There's nothing like a lot of playing, a little housework, and a filling lunch to make you ready for a good nap.

Trouble

After J. told Will not to touch the space heater 3 times in a row this morning, he decided that he was just about ready to put him in timeout. Much to J.'s surprise, Will got up, walked himself down the hall to the rug by the front door, and put himself in timeout. Now only if it could always be this easy.

It's Getting Cold

We moved Will's slide inside for the Winter so that we could have something else for him to do when its cold out. From the looks of things, Abby might have been equally excited. She pushed it together with the ballpit and later made it into a fort for them to play in.

Not a Baby Anymore

Will was really excited when we got out his old Bumbo Chair to lend his cousins Lilly and Austin. He's pretty proud that he can get in and out of it by himself. On the other hand, I'm pretty sad to see how big he looks in it now. (Yes, he has a diaper on in the bottom picture... you'd be surprised how much of a mood lift we get when he goes pantless in the evenings)

Tubes

He looked too cute not to take a least a couple pictures.

I love the Fall

He Can't Stop Moving...

He attacked The Children's Museum...

...but destroyed the house.

J. and I decided to put the above picture in as a symbol of what we feel our lives have become...complete chaos.
