Haircut?

At what point do you cut the hair? It is so wild and crazy I am still not sure what to do with it. He has a major cowlick on the top too. Cut it or Leave it? And if I do cut it, do I try and do it myself, or pay to have it done by a professional?

One Year Pictures...Finally.

Today I finally took Will for his one year pictures. He has been somehow injuring himself often enough that I wasn't able to do it until now. This morning as I said it out loud, he smacked into the table, thankfully not leaving a mark, but he tried! He was in no mood for it today though so the pictures were sub par. However this did save me money! I will get them back in a couple of weeks and we'll see how we end up. On a different note I am posting some pictures of Will watching Teletubbies. He is so engrossed and I find it funny.

Ball Chasing at Baby Gym...

Will has a major fixation on these small red balls at baby gym. Today he added a new twist though and insisted on spending the entire 90 minutes attempting to hold 2 balls at once. His hands aren't quite big enough to hold them, so he kept dropping them over and over. He would then struggle and struggle to get them both in his arms again. Funny and yet frustrating at the same time.

Belated Easter Eggs...

Grandma and Grandpa Simmons sent Will a box of Easter presents over the weekend. He had a good time opening the eggs and finding Little People figures inside.

Visit with Cousins and a FINAL Birthday Treat!

We took off to Solon and Andrea's for some fun with Cousins today. They also gave William his birthday gift and one more serving of cake! They got him a complete set of beginner art supplies. Once I work up the nerve to let him paint I will show off his masterpieces!

Nothing says Happy Birthday like a chocolate facial!

It's been one of those weeks....

Will in his adorable Lion towel. It was a birthday present from our dear Shefflers.

Will looking slightly blurry, but charming with his first Chocolate Ice Cream Face!

New Crib set, it has different farm scenes quilted all the way around the bumper and skirt. Too cute! Will loves the Kitty and Cow most.

In the center you can see a Mourning Dove that is nesting in our Holly tree outside the balcony. She has 2 or 3 eggs in there. I can't wait to see if babies hatch!

I am finally on the mend. Will fell and hit his eye this morning so the 1 year portraits will soon become the 18 month portraits. He and I went to Target this morning to get a baby gift for a friend and Will proceeded to dump my coffee on the items I was about to purchase for said gift. I finally decided to wash the stuff and give it to her anyway and just explain what had happened. Will also slobbered on my phone enough today to actually short it out, thankfully I still had an old one that can be reactivated. A new one would have been over 100 bucks. Lessons learned: Never let baby teethe on phone, and always keep previous one around if it isn't broken. After dinner tonight we took Will to the town square area and got him his first baby dish of ice cream. I considered a cone, but thankfully decided against it. He was nicely pepped up on sugar afterwards and walked home most of the way. The weather is gorgeous this weekend so I think we will be outside a lot tomorrow, thankfully I am off.

The "Mom Contract" didn't include sick days...

I now have the virus that Pudd had. Ugh! I haven't been so sick in YEARS! I threw up in the CAR in a WIPES CONTAINER! Most of today I have been parenting from the bathroom. Too much information? Perhaps. But all the other mothers will sympathize with me. Will is now watching Teletubbies, and may do so for a few days if this continues! Let's hope it doesn't.
