Cereal Anyone?

I love my cereal... Who knew food would be so fun! I love making a mess and it taste pretty good too.

Let's Back Up...

Christmas was amazing, but I had a lot of fun leading up to Christmas that I'd like to share with my friends and family. Here are some fun pictures of me leading up to the big day...

Aunt Traci came by to play with me one afternoon and she brought me some overalls and a onesie for Christmas. Mom got really excited because I had just grown out of all my overalls...

I found my feet....Yes!!! I like to pull my socks off now. (just a side note; if you blow this picture up and see the brown spot on Will's leg; it's a birth mark, not poooo!)

Sunday before Christmas we went to Grandma Great's for the family Christmas. She got me clothes and a toy, I had fun learning how to open presents over there.

I'm hanging out at Nana's house in this picture; she loves giving me hugs and making me laugh!

Another picture at Grandma Great's house, sorry I'm not looking at the camera; this paper is very interesting!

Saturday before Christmas my cousin's Drue and Cameron came to see us. I took them bowling because it was too cold to ice tube at the ball park. Just hanging with the guys!!!

Grandpa's office party was last friday; Jana was holding me and her granddaughter (my friend) Reese wasn't liking it at all!!!!

So, later Reese decided she'd just take my Grammy. Guess you don't mess with other kids Grammy's!!!

And here I am with my Nana and Grandpa Mike, showing them how to play with my toys.

Yup, Christmas was amazing, but I had so much fun on the way to the big day. So much activity can wear a baby out!!!

Christmas was Awesome!!!

I REALLY underestimated the awesomeness of Christmas! I would like to say that Santa and mommy and daddy spoiled me, but they didn't hold a candle to the Grandparents! Of course opening the presents was a blast, but eating the paper took on so much more joy. Here are few pictures I'd like to share from my 1st Christmas. Unfortunately the camera was dead for Christmas Eve at Nana and Grandpa Mike's, so mom has to get pictures from Aunt Wendy's camera so I can post those on here. I took some great pictures over there and I'll share them as soon as mom gets them....

Look what Santa brought me... I really love all my new toys, especially that ball thing on the left that lights up, man that's a blast.

Daddy's showing me how it works, pretty fascinating!

Do I look like an evil elf to you??

Are these all for me??? Wow, were there any left under the tree for the rest of you? This is going to take me all day.

I'm leave it to you mom; this paper looks delicious!

Oh, forget the presents, check out my new ride! Yeah, it honks and sings, this is definitely how I roll!

I got to sit at the big table for dinner; I didn't get to eat anything though, maybe next year!!!

And finally....this is my friend Pat, now by the pic you'd think we aren't pal's, but we are, I'm just tired and I've had a long day! Christmas was great, can't wait for next year!!!

HO! HO! HO!

It's Christmas Eve!!! Mommy and Daddy said I have to go to bed earlier because Santa is coming! Not sure who that is...




I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! This year is pretty special for us; Will has made our lives so amazing; sharing this holiday with our new baby boy is the best gift we could ever receive. I hope your holiday is as special with your family. Merry Christmas from Will, Ang & Michael.

My visit with Santa

Last weekend I got to visit with Santa again. Daddy's company had their Christmas party Saturday morning; I got to see my friend Caroline again and we took our picture together. She slept during our visit with Santa; guess all the attention wore her out! I was all grins this time, mommy said I looked shocked when I took my first picture with Santa. Caroline and I got spoiled pretty bad by all the women at Daddy's work.

Mommy Note: Caroline and Will are 2 months apart, look how precious and adorably little Caroline is and Bruiser in my arms is like double her size. Oh and that outfit he's got on, yeah,

6-12 months!!! He's growing out of clothes faster than I can buy them.

Little Christmas Present

The Christmas countdown is on...

All these presents and toys (ornaments) on the tree, man, I've heard Christmas is fun, but I think I underestimated how much fun I'm going to have.

Mom and dad said I can't open these until next week...sooo, I'll just snack on my fingers instead. Oh the anticipation is killing me!!!

If I could figure out how to clap, I'd show you just how excited I am...

This bear looks like so much fun, I'll just chew on his hear for a minute!

Daddy's Birthday

Friday was daddy's birthday, he turned....31 (don't tell anyone I told you!) So in celebration, I took him to dinner. We had some very in depth conversations; I mostly shared how I felt and daddy listened. Everyone at the table kept trying to get my attention, but I had something to share with my daddy, so I ignored them and kept talking!

Daddy and I were matchy, matchy too. He said I was the best gift he recieved for his birthday. That made me feel pretty special!

It was a great evening, I stayed up wayyy past my bedtime; as you can see I didn't make it thru the entire dinner, but I tried!

The Story of My Harley Rocker...

A long time ago before I was born; even before my mommy and daddy met, grandpa had an employee that made him this Harley rocker for his future grandson. See Grandpa has had women in his life since he was born; growing up with 2 sisters, then having two daughters; Grandpa never had a little boy to share and teach all his hobbies. Though Mommy and Aunt Traci joined in on every hobby Grandpa enjoyed and Grandpa loved sharing his passions with them; having a grandson one day would open Grandpa's eyes to so much he'd never experienced. Mommy hoped and prayed that she could give Grandpa a grandson to play on the Harley one day, but left it to God to decide what wonderful child would be brought into their lives. So when Mommy and Daddy found out I was a little boy and Grandpa would FINALLY have a grandson in his life, they couldn't wait to tell him the news, and shortly after finding out, the Harley rocker found it's place in Grammy and Grandpa's house. And though I'm still too little to enjoy this amazing toy, I got to sit on it for the first time this weekend.

VVVRRRROOOMMMM!

"Oh, hey, look at Grammy's ornaments....hmmm, that tree looks like a lot of fun!!!"

I'm 4 months old!

I turned 4 months old saturday. Mommy took me for my 4 month check up today and other than the horrible shots that made me cry so hard, we learned I'm 26 inches long and I weigh 18 lbs. 12 ozs. Yup, I'm a big boy. I'm in the 95% range for weight which is no surprise to mommy at all and 75% range in height. So, I'm growing perfectly. I've learned so much in 4 months, I can roll back to front and front to back now, I'm grabbing things and putting them to my mouth, I'm laughing and boy can I tell you a story or two. Yup, 4 months and I've got this all figured out!

Mommy and daddy have had so much fun with me since I've been born. Mommy still takes me to work so I get to spend everyday with her for the next month. I start daycare January 5th; I'm sure mommy is going to be a basket case for awhile when I go. It will be so good for me though to play with other kids and learn so much from the wonderful teachers there. I keep telling mommy that, but she either doesn't understand me or she can't get her mind around me not being with her everyday.

Over the weekend I went to the lake. I had so much fun, I played till I about passed out (I don't like to nap when I can play) I got to play in the grass for the first time. I looked at it more than anything. Those leaves looked like a lot of fun, but mommy wouldn't let me near them incase a snake took up residence.

Look what I get to play with now!!! I love this thing, there are so many noises and songs and things to do. I can entertain myself for a good 10 minutes! (remember, I'm a baby, I like to change it up!)

Daddy has learned how to do sit ups and make me laugh at the same time! It's a win win for both of us. Excuse the drool down my shirt, I seem to do that a lot now!

How was your holiday?

Boy did I enjoy my first Thankgiving. I enjoyed it so much I refused to take naps and I was determined to hang with everyone. Little did I know that I'm a baby and I need my beauty sleep; so by Sunday I crashed and by crashed; I mean into a brick wall. Daddy would try to make me laugh and I'd burst out in tears. He finally put me down for a nap, which I'd been fighting up to this point, but I passed out and slept for 5 hours. Yeah, it caught up with me!!


Anyway, back to my first Thankgiving! My day started out over at Nana and Grandpa Mike's. We had brunch and I got to play with my Aunt Wendy, Uncle Corry and of course Nana and Grandpa Mike. Then off to Grammy and Grandpa's for dinner. (No one shared with me how delicious the food would look, but all I got to eat all day was forumla...what a rip off!) Here I am, the centerpiece for dinner at Grammy and Grandpa's. It was so pretty out we got to enjoy our dinner on the porch. Grandpa decided to be selfish and have me face him the entire meal. But I love talking to my Grandpa, so it was okay with me.

Here I am with my daddy after dinner, we are walking around letting mommy take a thousand pictures with their new camera. My Nana got mommy and daddy a new camera for their birthdays...and of course I am the center of their attention, so I got a GAZILLION pictures taken of me over Thankgiving.....Thanks Nana!!!

Annnnd....here we are again, this time mommy got in the picture. I must say....I sure am cute; guess it's okay to have tons of pictures of me. I'll enjoy my handsome good looks later on!

Friday night we took my Aunt Donna and Uncle Roger and Cousin's Melissa and Cameron to the river to watch the boat parade and fireworks. UNFORTUNATELY, I didn't make it to see either. It was getting really chilly and I was quite crabby...and so was mommy. Well, after 2 days of no naps wouldn't you be too? Anyway, here I am laughing and smacking my cousin Melissa. She was being so funny; I couldn't contain myself.

Mommy said next up is Christmas....guess I will wait to see how awesome that it. She took me to get a picture with Santa, all I could tell is he's big and red. Not sure what else to think of him! In fact I look quite shocked in the picture. I am however enjoying all the lights mommy and daddy put up; I stare at them all evening.

What's with this hat?

Oh how I entertain my parents! Mommy thought I'd look pretty cute in this hat, guess she was right!

So....I've got some big news....last week I went to see my other "friend that's a girl" Caroline; well Caroline's mommy put me down on the floor for some tummy time, but I had other plans...I rolled right over onto my back instead. I did it so well you would have thought I've been doing it my whole life. Mommy got so excited and rolled me over to do it again, buuuutttt, I only wanted to do it once. Since then I've rolled over a few times and mommy tries to record it, but I'm shy in front of the camera so I just eat my hands instead.

I really enjoyed playing with Baby Caroline, but she's a bit smaller than me and I move around so much; mommy had to move me over because I kept trying to punch Caroline. Mommy said it's not nice to hit and to NEVER hit girls....Guess I have a lot to learn. I had a hard time containing myself, Caroline had this cool star that lit up and sang, apparently MY Nana got it for her for her baby shower. I wanted one so bad, but mommy couldn't find one sold seperate from the play mat. Since I already have a play mat she didn't think we needed two. So instead mommy moved my music maker that lights up above my head so I can watch it while I laugh at myself in my mirror. (Nana bought me my play mat too, it's the ocean!)


And last night I took my mommy to dinner for her birthday. Here I am sitting up in a high chair all by myself. Of course I'm packed in a bit, but I did pretty well I must say. I didn't last long though, I passed out in the booth holding daddy's hand. I think I'm teething so I'm a bit of a cranky butt.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your time off from work. I know I'm going to enjoy 4 days with my mommy and daddy!!!

Where's Will

It's official...I'm a hunter! Well, I dress that way anyway, daddy didn't think I'd do too well in the deer blind since you have to sit and be quiet for a long time. Instead we met Daddy and Grandpa at Eischen's for my second trip to the world's greatest chicken place (I'm taking mom's word for it!) and I got to dress like Daddy and Grandpa and pretend I'm a hunter. Here we are playing a fun game of Where is Will???

Look; I even have an orange hat and my paci is orange and my paci strap is camo, now why can't I go with Daddy and Grandpa? I'm all ready!!!!

Maybe next year! I'll be good and ready to scare the deer out of sight!!!!

Santa Baby

Will got his pictures taken this weekend. Well more pictures that is! A friend of mine's cousin is a photographer and needed a practice baby to get her ready for her pregnant friends infant pictures!!! She sent me a sneak peek after the photo shoot so I thought I'd post it to give you a glimpse of her AMAZING work! Will did such a good job. If you go to her blog http://greygillfish.blogspot.com/ you can see a few more precious, precious photos of Will. She got expressions we have yet to get captured in a photo.
