I Wanna Swing!

O is very determined with most things. At this moment, he really wanted to swing and he wasn't going to wait for anyone to help him.

Siblings look on, watching each maneuver. What is he doing? O is silly.

We were all impressed with O's skills. W decided to go join him.

Little William

We watched little William for over a day while his mother and father were a little preoccupied with labor and delivery. Little William was excited to meet his new baby sister, but with my crew it was easy to distract him.

We were in need for a change of scenery, so we all went for a walk. It was slow moving. I had my 2 in the stroller, E on her bike who can't quite master hills, and little Will walking...ever so slowly. After stopping for the bazillionth time, I decided to put William in the stroller and allow W to walk. Slightly better, but after a few minutes, W's little legs couldn't go any farther. I carried the rascal a good distance before we got to the circle in the neighborhood. Time to stop, rest, explore...whatever.

Little Will has a huge crush on E. He's always trailing her and calling after her when in sight. Cute.

Observing bugs.

Exploring.

Oh! Look what I found in the stroller...a calculator!

Hey, W. Do you want to go run around and play?

No...I'm good.

William left that night to meet his new baby sister, Elise. Congrats!

Tiny Dancer

Another dance was elaborately planned and performed by the grand Miss E. The night was enjoyed by all.

Great dancing. Lots of laughter. Loud latin music. Fun night.

Birthday Wishes

We celebrated my baby boy's birthday, which is crazy because wasn't he just born?

It just doesn't seem that long ago that we were blessed with his spirit.

 

Blessed with his overzealous desire to know how things work.

Blessed with his quick learning and physical speed (sat up at 5 months, crawled at 6, walked at 9).

Blessed with laughter, no matter how high pitched.

Blessed with his adorable grunting hugs.

Blessed with his desire to help mommy and daddy, even though he has his own agenda.

Blessed with his ability to heal quickly.

Blessed with his sweet smile...I guess it goes along with his sweet tooth.

The Birthday Boy's cake...a candy cake.

Excited for candy.

We blew candles out three times. Although W blew three times, E blew them out first. Then O blew them out. Finally, W blew out his candles!

He loved it. Since then he asks to have "kitty cats".

Stripped down and ready for a present. I love this picture of O. Can't you see him as a teenager?

Edu Tech building toys. Everyone was excited.

Whoa! I can't believe I'm 3!

We love our W.
