A Day at the Zoo

Yesterday Mike took the day off and we took Will to the Dallas Zoo. We have a family membership so we will be going back often. Will loved it and was amazed by all the animals. I am pretty sure he pointed to every four legged animal he saw and called it "dog". It was funny! His favorite thing was the penguins. He loved watching them swim around and he got a kick out of seeing them jump into the water. I can't wait to take him back again!

This is Will's latest obsession. He loves being pushed around in his buggy. On Monday he cried because it was raining and he couldn't go outside in it. He sat around in it inside the house instead. Luckily the sun came out yesterday and he got to ride around the neighborhood.

Shower for Sara

My mom came in town over the weekend because we hosted a baby shower for my sweet friend Sara. Sara and I have known each other since we were two and she is a very special friend to me! She is having a little girl, Stella Jane, in January. I can't wait for her to get here!! The shower was lots of fun and Sara got a lot of great stuff for Stella. Here is a picture of the precious cake! I love all the PINK!

And here is a random picture of Will being silly.....

15 Months

Will had his 15 Month appointment yesterday and he is doing great. He had to get some shots so he was not very happy about that! Here are his stats:

Height: 32 1/2 in. - 85th percentile

Weight: 22 lbs. 13 oz. - 25th percentile

Likes: reading books, playing outside on his playground, climbing up the stairs and sliding down backwards, playing with the dogs, watching Sesame Street, sorting shapes, puzzles, and throwing anything he can get his hands on. He is ALL boy.

Dislikes: diaper changes, getting out of the bath, and most green vegetables except green beans

Happy 15 Months William! You are a very sweet boy and we love you so much!

The dogs are making sure he makes it down the slide okay :)

Will and Jill

I had a wonderful weekend, thanks to a visit from one of my dear friends, Jill. Jill flew in from Chicago on Friday and we got to hang out all day Friday and Sunday. It was so nice to talk, go to lunch, do some shopping and spend time with a good friend. Will thought Jill was awesome, I am sad I forgot to get a picture of the two of them together. Jill, we love you, come back soon!!

Saturday was a rough day. I am so sad that Sam got hurt again and the Sooners lost. Will slept through the first half of the game, but he did get to watch the second half. Sadly, it was not a Sooner victory, but next week will be better! Here is Will cheering on the Sooners....

Touchdown Sooners!!

The Sooners are still #1

On Sunday John and Kara came by to pick up some wedding gifts that got sent to our house. They brought a video of their helicopter tour they did in Maui. It was soooo cool! I want to go back to Maui so badly, maybe in a few years. They also brought Will two really cute shirts from Maui, they are the sweetest!! They are going to babysit Will next weekend, Will is super excited!

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we took Will to the pumpkin patch, one of my favorite fall traditions! We took him to the same pumpkin patch last year, and it was fun to see how much more interested in everything he was this time. He loved looking at all the different pumpkins, feeling the hay and climbing all over everything. He picked out a few small pumpkins for us to take home. We put him in his Halloween costume for a few pictures, this year he is going to be a cowboy!

Will is on the move! His walking has really improved in the last week, now he is wanting to walk everywhere! I am so proud of him!

Wedding Weekend

My little brother got married on Saturday and everything was perfect! The wedding was beautiful and the reception was so much fun. I can't believe he is all grown up and married! :) Will did a great job as the ring bearer and didn't cause a scene during the ceremony, so I am very happy about that. He looked so cute in his little tuxedo and got many compliments. The entire weekend was wonderful and I am sad it is over. My parents left today to drive back to Colorado. Will is going to miss them so much. He loved having lots of people to play with him last week! Here are a few pictures from the wedding, I will post more once I get them.
