The 4th, Happy birthday America! And how is it that my baby is 10 months old?!

Watching the parade in his new portable high chair!

Enjoying the parade on the 4th

Our little jumping bean!


Will's first parade! Stephen looks good with a paci doesn't he?



Uncle Pappy Jake singing doodle ee doo :)




At Nicholas and Nicole's house - they kept him for us for practice for January :)



finally napping at the beach under his little beach tent


Playing at the beach - he didn't like it very much :(


Will, Will, Will... what can I say?! He has gotten to be such the big boy now I can hardly stand it. He's chatting all the time and LOVES to say "MAMMA"! I waited 9 1/2 months to hear him say those two syllables and it's just amazing! Tonight in his crib he was saying "naynaynay" - another new one! He is the fastest crawler in the east and he pulls up on EVERYTHING. His facial expressions are just so funny - I laugh out loud several times a day. Everytime he hears a dog bark, he'll stop what he's doing and make a very loud one syllable sound (usually "EH!"), like he's trying to bark back. It's pretty funny. "Dada" is by far his favorite thing to say. If I let him, he would only eat cinnamon raisin bagels - they are his favorite. He's such a happy boy and I am so blessed (with his Dad as my husband and him as my son, who could ask for more?!)

We traveled 570 miles to Midland, PA for a much needed family 4th visit with my aunts, uncles, and cousins who live there. It was so great seeing everyone! Will went to his first ever parade on Saturday morning and then we had a cookout at my A. Myrna and U. Jake's house. It was such a wonderful trip - hopefully it won't take another 4 years to get up there again!!! Will did amazing on the ride up, and not so amazing on the ride back... we made it back in one piece, though :).


Sorry for such the long delay in posting - we've moved into a different house now and we won't have the internet until the end of July. We're now officially lot owners in Lexington! The building starts Monday!!!

10 months !! that means Noah is 6 months! Wow! Will is getting so big, I can't believe it! He's like a little boy! They grow up way too fast ! Doesn't it make you want to hug them real tight and make them stay small forever! :) He's precious!! Give him kisses from Noah and I!
